    The hotels assigned were good but they were far away from the main market area. Also, the food was average or below average in the hotels with limited choices. Overall the trip was good. Thankyou.

    Our package tour to Manali was arranged by Mr Sandeep. We had a wonderful astonishing experience. The whole trip was planned and taken care. He was very understandable and co-operative. We had a great trip with Hotel Melcome.. The best part is they provided us a good driver. Highly recommended.

    Sree's 9 days trip to Solan

    We recently completed our trip to Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, and Agra arranged through 3D Vacations. While we appreciate the continuous support provided by your team during the tour, we would like to share our concerns regarding the overall experience, especially considering the high package cost we p
    aid. Initially, we had chosen a sedan car, but due to congestion and the allocation of a vehicle that was more than 10 years old, we were advised to upgrade to an Ertiga at a higher cost. Unfortunately, the Ertiga provided had a CNG cylinder installed, which completely occupied the boot space. Additionally, the driver’s personal luggage was also kept inside the vehicle. As a result, all our bags had to be placed on top of the car, causing them to get dirty and wet, which was very inconvenient and disappointing. We also learned that 3D Vacations does not operate its own vehicles and instead arranges cars from third-party vendors. The drivers provided lacked proper knowledge of routes and tourist locations. They relied entirely on Google Maps and consistently preferred narrow internal roads instead of safer toll roads. Toll roads were taken only when we specifically requested them. Regarding accommodations, the hotels provided were located far outside city limits, with unclear and inconvenient routes. The drivers were unfamiliar with the hotel locations and repeatedly asked us to enter the destinations into Google Maps. Similarly, while visiting tourist places, the drivers did not know where to take us and frequently asked us to decide the locations and guide them via maps. Although your support team was responsive and helpful whenever we contacted them, the overall experience did not match the expectations set by the package price. We paid a premium amount but received substandard hotels and cab services, which was very disappointing. We hope you will take this feedback seriously and improve your vehicle quality, driver training, hotel selection, and overall service standards for future customers. Sincerely, Sreekanth D

    Ayan Mitra

    Bangalore

    Ayan's 7 days trip to Solan

    What went well - 1. Good tour experience in Amritsar and Kapurthala. 2. The cab driver (Mr. Dilbagh Singh) given for the journey was really very good behaved and supportive. 3. Hotels in Amritsar was good, and in Kapurthala it was excellent. 4. Locations suggested in Amritsar was very good. 5.
    The Sada Pind in Amritsar is a must see. 6. The Science City in Kapurthala is the only thing that one could say is visitable, but not worth spending lakhs of rupees to travel all the way to visit. 7. Good shopping experience. What didn't go well - 1. There is really nothing to see in Kapurthala, and Patiala. As a trip advisor, Travels Town (or Travel Triangle) could have suggested me better tour options. Foe people like us who have never travelled to Punjab we can only do as much research to know what is famous as per google. But the trip advisors are expected to know the ground realities and suggest accordingly, otherwise they can't claim themselves to be trip advisors. 2. The hotel in Patiala was changed at the 11th hour, and I have been almost forced to make a choice. The new hotel "Eqbal Inn" was pathetic, awful, unhygienic, with poorest of the poor service. There were cockroaches, bed bugs roaming in the room, and furniture with termites disturbing throughout night. Besides there was no staff to even ship my luggage (when requested, the hotel staff bluntly said we can't help). 3. There is really really nothing to see in Patiala (except for the Kali Mata temple which one can visit if they are on pilgrimage). We have been taken to a place called Seesh Mahal which was like graveyard. People have peed and stooled all over the campus, and as a result we can't stay there even for 10 min.
