Sonicasonawane's 5 days trip to Mangalore

While the trip was enjoyable overall, there were a couple of areas where I believe improvement is needed. Itinerary Suggestions: The itinerary provided could have been more thoughtfully tailored. Hotel Rooms & Houseboat Quality: Unfortunately, the hotels and rooms selected did not meet expectations. Considering the price paid, the accommodations were below standard. Additionally, there was a discrepancy between the pictures shown during booking and the actual rooms. The rooms were not as clean as they should have been, which was disappointing. Overall, I appreciate the efforts made by Travel Triangle, but there are areas for improvement to ensure a higher quality experience for future travelers. Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback.

Himshita's 6 days trip to Mangalore

Hi, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to provide some feedback regarding the itinerary for my recent trip. While I appreciate your efforts in organizing the trip, I found that the itinerary was not as well planned as expected. Firstly, the places to visit in the selected locations seemed poorly organized. Some of the destinations mentioned in the itinerary like Dam in Coorg and Sakleshpura didn't exist or may not be operational and waterfall in Sakleshpura is a private property that we cannot visit without permission. Additionally, the sequence of the places was not ideal. The travel flow felt disjointed, and there were long travel times between certain cities, which could have been optimized to make the trip more enjoyable. I hope this feedback can help improve the planning for future trips, as I believe with better organization and sequencing, the experience would have been much more seamless. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Best regards, Himshita

Very good and smooth experience. This was my second time booking with Travel Triangle. We traveled to Bengaluru - Coorg - Mysuru with senior citizens. Initially I was worried about planning entire trip comfortable for everyone however I received quotes on time. The travel agent Sree Ganpati Travels arranged everything smoothly. The cab was clean, comfortable, driver was polite and professional. Ms. Ritika from Sree Ganpati Travels provided assistance at every stage and every step of the journey. I highly recommend!
