    as arranged a very friendly cab driver Mr. Thanseel. His driving was super good and safe. He is also very informative with the locations. We are eager to plan our next trips with the Travel Triangle especially with Comfort Destination. We will very much suggest travel triangle to our family, friends and colleagues. The overall experience was very nice, very good and satisfactory. Poovar island, Alleppey House Boat, Kovalam, Cochin

    Some hotels providing very less dish for the breakfast other than that services were ok. Just concentrate on hotels food Ragamaya 1st hotel was one of the hidden gem. 2Hotels which I went on the 2nd & 3rd day makes us disappointed. Rooms were are very simple & breakfast they provided was ok & servi
    ces were decent. Cab was in very good condition & driver also very good person. He did his work properly. No issues in that. Overall it's a good trip . Thank u namaskaram travel & tour agent vineet for great support & service from start to end.

    It was a great tour experience. Very well planned by Trip sailer agent (Namit), Traveltriangle. I was explained everything in detail by Namit and the Driver(Sajith Joseph) too was awesome, he has guided us about the places and local specialities through out the tour and has taken care of our family
    with utmost respect and friendly behaviour. Excellent service overall. Thanks for giving our family many good moments to cherish.

    Bala Subramanian

    Chennai

    Bala's 4 days trip to Kumarakom

    Hi Team, As you this wasn't my 1st trip with you guys. Though booking was hassle free was surprised to after service, moreover your App was so pathetic which I had complained also, inspite of install & uninstall multiple times , I had login and due payment issues. No transparency on cost due to w
    hich I eventually paid on higher payment instead of what it was promised to be, refund for the same pending. Had mixed opinion on overall journey 1) Driver Nice and very friendly guy and always promot on his duty, full 5star for him. 2) Hotel - Lake View munnar * Property was good with view point and staffs etc. But drawbacks were , It's 3 Star hotel rather 4 star. I had face Hot water issue for all days, Team used to attend complaint but didn't get resolved . Food for one night was so bad and it lacks with other amenities to be called a 4Star. 3) Boat house It was fantastic, nice crew team, Good food & Hospitality. It didn't had hot water facilities As I was carrying my infant , but overall it was a happy stay. 4) Support from Travel agent / Travel triangle representative Totally below par to my expectations, As eveytime I need to do too many follow ups, Still I didn't get my refund amount on excess money paid. House boat stay and Villa Property of hotel.
