        We had our first trip planned with Aapka Tripwala. The trip was meticulously planned by Prachita from their team and taken care by Chirag for the ground support. The cab and booked hotel were all in place as promised. They also helped with early check-in at our Udaipur hotel. It was a great experien
        ce booking with them. Looking forward to book another trip with them again in future.

        I had the most incredible experience on the Kerala Trip with Travel Triangle/Blessing Trip! From the moment we started, everything was perfectly planned by Komal. She was very helpful in suggesting good hotels and planning the itenary. The transportation was smooth, and the accommodations exceeded m
        y expectations. Plus, the local food we got to try was delicious! I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure.

        Sagark's 10 days trip to Varkala

        I recently took a trip to Kerala organized by Travel Triangle, with OIO Travel as the agency. Overall, it was a good experience with some challenges. The main issue was the driver, who lacked communication skills and wasn’t as proactive in guiding us on how to plan our days. On the positive side, t
        he hotels were mostly excellent. Spice Jungle Resort and Golden Sands Beach Resort were top-notch, offering great hospitality and comfort. However, our experience at Hotel Padmam was less satisfying in comparison. Despite the driver’s shortcomings, the trip itself was enjoyable, and I would recommend the package, especially for the quality of most accommodations The best parts of my trip were visiting Rameswaram and Meenakshi temples, enjoying the beaches near Golden Sands Beach Resort, and the peaceful backwater cruise. Staying at Spice Jungle Resort surrounded by nature was also a highlight. Overall, it was a memorable experience

        Travel agents should have control over the assigned guide/driver. My travel agent was like " we can't guide drivers (who was assigned by them) but can guide customers as drivers are hired through third parties" . What they should understand is their reputation is tied with the assigned guide/driver,
        & they can't simply deny their responsibility
