Raghu's 5 days trip to Kochi

Overall Trip is good but can be even better. Stay is excellent in Guruvauyr, Munnar and Kovalam Beach. I asked for a room in alleppey with only ride in Houseboat but the Tour operator promised a very good Houseboat. The Houseboat it not that great. Cab is average but the Driver is very good. There should be type of cabs to chose from before finalizing the trip similar to rooms.

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.

Amit's 6 days trip to Kochi

All the properties were good except the houseboat. The vehicle was changed to Marrazo from Innova. We couldn't visit the Kovalam beach as driver was not ready to go on that particular day. The agent didn't bothered to check how the trip is going.
