    Anita's 4 days trip to Trivandrum

    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.

    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.

    Everything was fine and good. One thing I would like to say is it would be nice when you send the cab driver who knows the language of the customer. P.S. The cab driver you sent was good. If you have sent the driver who knows Tamil it would be well and good

    Trip was nice but it was not prepared properly. When we reached Madurai at 3 am we booked a hotel with the help of driver for 4 hrs because the check in time of the hotel booked by travel Kutir was at 12pm. We visited Meenakshi temple ,Jyotirlinga Rameshwaram, Padmanabhan Swamy temple ,Kanyakumari
    temple and many places in this trip without facing any major problem.
