      Manishji's 5 days trip to Chikmagalur

      Tour was good. too much travelling by car, suggestion/guidance for airport / railway station while tour start/end is missing in your program during selection. Last day was only travelling from 7 AM to 4.30 PM from Ooty to Mysore, this can be avoided while proposing for Itinerary to customer.  Driver/Cab - Mr kiran and his Car KA03AB5010 is very good, very polite, having good knowledge of route, very specific for selection of veg hotels   during my whole program Mysore, Coorg, Ooty, Coonoor, Bangalore.  because of him visited all place of my itinerary except one or two. Hotel Golden.castle :  Bathroom drain was choking, Hand wash soap was not provided. Tea Kit is not available. Bed Tea was given after 7 AM and charged amount for bed tea and water bottle this is minor things can be avoided. Lazo.areca.resort : Resort was good but far from the main market. Quality of food was Ok. natural things are very good , cleanness in resort is not upto mark (may be due to rainy seasons) incests / moths etc are in room and outside room, Major issue water is coming from roof specially in bathroom (three places) and one place in room. Kempscave : Good hotel little far from main market. service time is little late  this is my second tour with travel triangle. Over all good experience with you this can be much better with little changes  It is not understood for taking extra charges while payment of tour with UPI & Debit cards.

      Akash's 7 days trip to Chikmagalur

      1. Driver: Rude behaviour/ doesn’t answer when you ask something and doesn’t even acknowledge 2. ⁠ mysore palace was not in the itinerary but he asked if we wanted to visit. We said only if it is on the route. Meanwhile he went to some other place and we had to wait for him for 20 mins 3. ⁠Left us in cab for around 30-40 mins unattended on the way to ooty. This happened multiple times that we had call and wait. Once he kept chatting to a friend and we waited in the car for 10-15 mins 4. Took longer route to ooty saying the other route is under maintenance 5. ⁠always in a hurry 6. ⁠on call most of the time while driving 7. ⁠ignored us quite a few times. 8. ⁠did not stop for lunch/tea on the last day although we had asked twice. Later said “ airport pe cafeteria hai sir” rudely as he was in a hurry to complete the trip

      Rsherin's 4 days trip to Chikmagalur

      Would like to take this time to appreciate the choice of hotel, places to visit and appropriate travel arrangements by Travel Corp that made our family trip easy and memorable. Kudos to Ms Kimaya and team for making the effort for our pleasant trip. Last but not least, a big shout for the driver who was immensely devoted to his duty and patient to accommodate the travel plans very well. His choice of eatery areas and planning of place visits is commendable. Would also like to appreciate the selection of quote process of Travel Triangle. The variety and choice of vendors providing suitable quotes for the planning of trip is truly praise worthy. Thank you all once again. Place of stay ( Club Mahindra, Madikeri), local eateries ( Raintree, Rainbow and Rice Fish Curry) and places of visit( Raja seat, Chiklihole reservoir, Mandalpatti and Nisarghadhama) are some of the experiences mind blowing one of a kind.
