    Amruthkumar Vankadari

    Bengaluru

    Amruthkumar's 4 days trip to Kerala

    I am facing a problem with person who is dealing with me(alan John) about this travel. Because he tell the package of two persons is 24,000 but at the time of payment the page shows 24999. I initial paid 8600(600 for convience fee for two persons). The amount he told that conversation happened in th
    e call unfortunately I am not recorded that call for reference. Because of that I pay extra amount of 1000 rupees. This is not the correct way because the person told in the call will be different and in the quotation it is different. I am not checked the quotation properly because of trust on that person. I see only the iternary of my journey in the quotation.
