Enakshirai's 6 days trip to Macau

We recently had an incredible week-long trip to Hong Kong and Macao, all thanks to TravelTriangle and their outstanding executive, Mr. Atul Rai. From the initial planning stages to the conclusion of our journey, everything was handled with utmost professionalism and attention to detail. Mr. Atul Rai was exceptional in understanding our preferences and crafting an itinerary that perfectly balanced sightseeing and adventure. His expertise and responsiveness made the entire booking process seamless. We were particularly impressed with the hotel arrangements and the choice of activities, which allowed us to experience the vibrant cultures and stunning landscapes of both destinations. Suggestions for Improvement While our trip was largely flawless, we did encounter a minor issue that could be improved upon for future travelers. It would have been beneficial to have a tour guide accompany us during the city tours, especially in Macao. We lost our way in the market, which could have been avoided with a guide's presence. Having a knowledgeable guide would enhance the overall experience by providing insights and ensuring smooth navigation through the city. Overall, we highly recommend TravelTriangle and Mr. Atul Rai for a well-organized and memorable travel experience. We look forward to planning our next adventure with them! Thank you for an unforgettable trip!

Aniqa's 7 days trip to Macau

Spending 8 days in Hongkong as a group of 8 was loads of fun. I would suggest no less than that instead I would encourage to add days especially if you have Shivangi from Sharing Travels managing your trip. She ensured that we have a memorable trip by properly guiding and adding the best tour activities. The tour guys were punctual and guided us, and answered our questions politely. We thank Shivangi and her organisation for this memorable trip and Travel Triangle for helping us plan yet another lovely trip with them.

Gauri's 8 days trip to Macau

Thank you so much for the arrangements made by travel triangle. We had an amazing trip. Everything went according to the itinerary. We did not have to face any difficulty and very much satisfied with the services provided by travel triangle. There was a difficulty before departure, the ferry bookings were made incorrectly by our spoc. This is very sad to write but, he did not correct it nor he had a courtesy to call the us and ask whether it is rectified or not. And most importantly, i would like to thank Bijay Kushwaha for the quick support by him. I had contacted him at 11PM regarding the ferry tickets issue. And the very next day he corrected my ferry tickets and sent me the updated tickets. And even he told that we can contact him anytime if any issue is there throughout my journey. This is the support customers need, when making the bookings from travel agency. We had even contacted customer care and whats app group regarding the same issue. But we were told that they can fix this in official hours. When we did not know whether our issue will get resolved or not, as we were supposed to fly within 10-11 hours. We really appreciate Bijay for helping us.
