Abhishek Singh

Nagpur

Abhishek's 6 days trip to Solan

Overall it was good experience. Though Shimla/Manali is overhyped places, if you don't witness SnowFall, it's not worth spending money River rafting, Paragliding

Aishwarya's 7 days trip to Solan

My experience with Turn on vacation was very good. I must say trustworthy travel dealers. Anyone who's travelling for the first time can avail their services without any hesitation. The hotels of Shimla, Manali, Amritsar & Delhi were very good, the behavior of the hotel staff was very good and the f

ood quality was also very good. The driver they provide us is friendly and good in nature. Driving was very smooth. Car was clean, and helped us to tie our luggage. Special Thanks to Sandeep who has taken care of everything.

Karan

Punjab

Karan's 7 days trip to Solan

trip was good but it includes too much travelling as i believe travel agent has to guide tha traveller about travelling hours and recommend them to increase days for covering 3 to 4 destinations my trip plan was good but it includes too much travelling otherwise experience was good

Phani Anusuri

Hyderabad

Phani's 5 days trip to Solan

Overall, the experience is excellent except for the hotel provided in Manali as they charged extra for everything, I don't recommend this hotel to anyone. And for Shimla, most of the places were skipped and they did not show us entire places given in the trip planner
