    Anita's 4 days trip to Kochi

    We recently booked a Kerala trip to Munnar, Thekkady and Alleppy thru Travel Triangle. The hotel bookings, driver, vehicle and the itinerary all were as per our expectations and we had a awesome time. The pricing and service provided by Travel Triangle was also very reasonable and good. This was our
    second family trip booked thru TT and we surely recommend their service to others. It definitely is hassle free and trustworthy. Looking forward to booking many more trips thru TT.
