    Package cost is too high for just 3 days. Driver was obedient but not much interactive. Smooth driving and trip went really well. Good assistance by travel agent Rahul. But I feel this package cost is little high. Toy Train experience was amazing. Good hotel view but still it's under construction.

    Sar's 4 days trip to Chikmagalur

    website wont allow me to rate low, it wont allow me to submit rating unless i give good rating.(I have a video proof to prove about this rating scam) Terrible experience with dream yatra agency from Travel Triangle, after completion of my trip on march 11, I got calls from some transport team on 15th March saying the agency didnot pay the balance amount to them, even though everything was paid to agency before trip itself. transport team called me frequently saying agency is not responding to them. when i tried to contact Rakesh from Dream yatra I could not connect via call to his number, later when I finally got touch with him on whatsapp and told him the transport is calling me frequently, he was so rude, told me to inform the transport team myself that payment will be released on monday which is his duty. He later told me directly not to call him again for this matter even though transport team is calling me frequently for update. Is that a customer duty to take care of bills to third party even after paying everything to agency?? such a unprofessional agency it is. and this portal wont let me submit the review unless i give good star rating to agency what kind of a stupid service is this.

    Mahendra's 4 days trip to Chikmagalur

    We had an amazing experience with our driver, Mubarak. He is an excellent driver—calm, skilled, and highly knowledgeable about all the must-visit places. He planned our trip so well that every destination was covered at the perfect time, making our journey smooth and enjoyable. Mubarak sir became more like a family member to us. His driving, especially on curved roads, made us feel completely safe and comfortable. If there were a rating beyond 5 stars, I would gladly give him the highest possible! A heartfelt thank you to Mubarak sir for making our trip fantastic! We truly appreciate his dedication, and we hope to meet again for our next vacation.
