Trip to Karnataka
Driver was Good, First Homestay did not matched the Given Photos, but still it was Fine. No Wifi at the First Location. Hotel in Ooty was Very Good. Had all the Fun Thank YouTrip to Karnataka
Driver was good. Journey was good. Sightseeing was good. Biggest let down was the place to stay. It was just horrible. They didn't provide us water towels or anything. We had to ask for everything one by one. Breakfast was pathetic. Cold and not cooked well. The cabin given to us wasn't clean. There was no extra bed provided but a mattress to sleep on the floor in a wooden cabin.Trip to Karnataka
Trip was planned properly. We had a pleasant stay in Coorg and enjoyed alot. We have covered all the sightseeing whatever mentioned in trip plan. Cab driver was friendly with place so no need to worry about route. And I would recommend Travel Agent for their hassel free service. Sunset at Raja Seat. Fresh air in Brahmagiri HillsTrip to Karnataka
Agent vaara is really helpful and coperative. She knows how to handle and care the requirements of the trip. You can contact her anytime regarding any trip issue and the agency will be ready to modify any changes on demand. Driver was really friendly and punctual. It was like he is our friend who is taking us to trip. I am really seeing forward to have more trips with you all.Trip to Karnataka
Hi, I had booked a Coorg trip/tour through Lee Vacations. Starting with the very first communication from their representative (Varalaxmi) I was impressed. They provided me with an amazing quote for the trip having included my choice of the resort. They were very courteous and guided me well. Couldn’t have asked for a better deal..! The stay at Evolve Back (Orange County) Resort itself was a memorable one. Being disconnected from the world and closer to nature was something the highlight of the resort. The sightseeing tour of the Elephant Camp and the Tibetan settlement was great as well.Trip to Karnataka
It was a good experience and i would highly recommend Shoppers Trip for other clients..Trip to Karnataka
Overall trip was awesome this time. Thank you VFM. And a trip can't be so awesome without an awesome driver. Driver Mohan was so good, friendly, helpful, really energetic and cool guy.. So, a big thank you to Mohan ji as well and once again thank you VFM for this.Trip to Karnataka
Even with those suggestion, This was the great piece,and i got honestly enjyd it,,thannk for your insightTrip to Karnataka
Very well organized in the short time available. Did not face any problems throughout the trip. Hotel, sriver, sightseeing experience all of it was amazing. Overall a great trip. Thanks to Lee vacationsTrip to Karnataka
Good trip, Though we did not like the accommodation at gokarna, the driver did not know internary of places to go to and the breakfast that was given in internary which was suppose to be complimentary was never given.... But again apart from this we loved the place and experience. Thank you Travel Triangle.
