    Naresh Rathore

    Chennai

    Naresh's 4 days trip to Trivandrum

    I am highly disappointed with your travel agency. We had planned for a trip to Wayanad. We had a clear discussion about the package details and everything was fixed before the trip. All the charges about the package were decided and the itinerary was planned accordingly before we started our trip. A
    ll of the sudden on the third day of our trip, they showed their real faces and the driver demanded for additional charges of Rs.3500 saying that he was booked only for 350 KM ride. This was no where mentioned in the package and also none of the tour agency member informed us earlier regarding this. This is completely unfair. It’s a big cheating from the travel agency. The agency along with driver forced us to pay additional charges which was not stated in the package nor did they mention this earlier. The driver stopped the vehicle in between the trip and forced us to pay additional charges. It was a big trap for us because we were helpless and were forced to pay the extra charges as we were in the middle of the trip and couldn’t do anything rather than listening to them. I am going to take this issue forward and going to file a case against your agency by filing a complaint with the Ministry of Tourism through the Centralized Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring Systems (CPGRAMS) portal. Also I would never ever recommend any of my family friends to book trips from your agency Worst experience ever

    We booked the honeymoon package as a couple and had a fantastic experience throughout the trip. The cab driver was friendly and talkative, the local food was delightful, and we enjoyed all the sightseeing as planned in our shared itinerary within the given timeframe. Thank you, Trip Seller, for the
    excellent arrangements!

    Hotels and trip was very good, i dont prefer the hotel S' Cliff in varkala as its services are not so good as well as the room in which i stayed. Suuny from Namaskaram travels guided and supported me a lot.
