    Josh's 5 days trip to Kerala

    Everything was good except houseboat experience in Allepy. They operated the ope boat only for 3 hours in the whole package. Rest of the time they stationed the boat at starting point only which was a remote location without any shops or activities possible.

    Gangadhar's 7 days trip to Kerala

    Overall it is okay with the services provided by the agency. Also it wud be good if agency can advise on the things which shud be considered by travellers to plan before going to any attraction, say booking tickets in advance for the attractions in demand instead of wasting time at the counters an
    d standing in the queue for long time to view/experience the attractions Stay at munnar and the time spent with family in visiting the near by attractions.

    Naresh Rathore

    Chennai

    Naresh's 4 days trip to Kerala

    I am highly disappointed with your travel agency. We had planned for a trip to Wayanad. We had a clear discussion about the package details and everything was fixed before the trip. All the charges about the package were decided and the itinerary was planned accordingly before we started our trip. A
    ll of the sudden on the third day of our trip, they showed their real faces and the driver demanded for additional charges of Rs.3500 saying that he was booked only for 350 KM ride. This was no where mentioned in the package and also none of the tour agency member informed us earlier regarding this. This is completely unfair. It’s a big cheating from the travel agency. The agency along with driver forced us to pay additional charges which was not stated in the package nor did they mention this earlier. The driver stopped the vehicle in between the trip and forced us to pay additional charges. It was a big trap for us because we were helpless and were forced to pay the extra charges as we were in the middle of the trip and couldn’t do anything rather than listening to them. I am going to take this issue forward and going to file a case against your agency by filing a complaint with the Ministry of Tourism through the Centralized Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring Systems (CPGRAMS) portal. Also I would never ever recommend any of my family friends to book trips from your agency Worst experience ever
