Raj's 6 days trip to Trivandrum
I started my trip from Munnar and there started issues 1. The hotel in Munnar doesn't have basic amenities such as water supply in the attached toilet & bathroom. No tv connection, landline, wifi, electricity 2. The site-seeings mentioned in the voucher were almost all missing on the ground. Some of them were discontinued for a couple of years for tourists. The cleanliness and staff behavior (especially the boathouse) was really good.Vijay Vuyyuri

Mr. Vikas is always available over phone throughout our trip in spite of poor network Local partner is not upto the mark... As this is our first trip with tours & travels I would like to highlight few points Places visited during our trip: Cochin-Guruvayur-Munnar-Alleppey-Cochin No .of days: 5 days-4 Nights Pros - In current COVID-19 scenario, its safe to travel by your own private cab - Helps you to cover more places* ( *Note: Driver should be also on same page with you for this) - Able to halt at few places on route for capturing the scenic views of location - You always have a person who is familiar with routes, language and places - We even covered few tourist activities which we might have missed if we go without tours & travels Cons - The Driver is not so rigid, so we not able to cover places based on itinerary shared. - We had spent addition money for autos, bike rentals as we the driver is rigid to take us around the city and we want to explore more in available time. Overall Rating: Tours & travels: 3/5 Local partner (driver): 2.5/5 coverage based on itinerary: 3/5 Value for money: 3/5Gaurav Agrawal
