    Alok's 4 days trip to Vagamon

    We booked Varkala-Trivandrum trip with For you travels and it was good trip. From the very first inquiry, kiran, representative of For you travels, was quite responsive and supportive, making the planning process easy. The itinerary finally agreed was post in dept discussion with scope of minor chan
    ges during the trip. Itinerary was perfectly balanced. The guide cum Cab allocated was very supportive ensuring we visit all the major sights while still having time to relax and explore at our own pace.

    Raju's 6 days trip to Vagamon

    After booking, Mr Alan said to me that room category is not available and upgraded to new room with high price. I agreed to pay extra amount, However, when I was in hotel, it was not upgraded, it was downgraded with high price. I was cheated here. After booking, It in not my problem but you behaved
    unprofessionally. You charged me extra amount after booking that is very unprofessional. 2. For rest amount to pay no communication by Alan & message sent for paying when I was in flight. After landed to Trivandrum and on-boarded in taxi, You welcome me in Kerala like you and your system like terrorist group and rush to all payment in minutes otherwise taxi will be parked on highway and will not move till the payment. It was a pathetical behavior I ever seen from professionals.

    Harshavardhan's 5 days trip to Vagamon

    Testimonial for 'Book It Forget It' & TravelTriangle "The overall trip planning and support from 'Book It Forget It' was awesome, especially the service from Sahil Vij. He was incredibly responsive and took quick action on my last-minute request to arrange a new houseboat with a bigger bed to comfor
    tably accommodate our family. The booking process through TravelTriangle was also fantastic; Soujanya Rai and Neha helped us finalize great options and supported us well throughout. I highly appreciate the 3-installment payment option—it really builds trust between the customer and the agency. The payment flexibility extended to our cab service as well, and our driver was a genuinely good person who was always ready to help with our luggage. Thank you for the great support!" Best Memories of the Trip The Houseboat Experience: Cruising for a full day on the Kerala backwaters was incredible. We enjoyed the ride immensely, and the larger bed accommodated our family of four perfectly. Chef Bino's Cooking: The food on the houseboat was an absolute highlight! Chef Bino was fantastic and truly made our day by cooking awesome, high-quality meals for us. Cliffside Views in Varkala: We enjoyed a lot of our time in Varkala, especially staying at the Wood House Beach Resort right on the cliff side. The views and the atmosphere there were unforgettable.
