Mohitmotwani

Indore

Mohitmotwani's 6 days trip to Solan

Our trip with Travel Triangle was excellent overall. The hotel selections were great, and special thanks to our travel agent Sandeep for his efforts in making our journey memorable and well organized. Our driver Piyush was humble, professional, and made our trip comfortable and enjoyable. However, t

he experience took a disappointing turn on the last day when a different driver was assigned, and the decline in service quality unfortunately affected an otherwise wonderful trip. We hope Travel Triangle maintains consistent service standards throughout the journey, as the last impression matters the most.
