      Chaitanya's 3 days trip to Varkala

      The driver is not updated to the mark. We don't have proper support from driver for sight seeing. He forced us to take zeep trecking and we rejected it. He don't know the proper itenary in munnar sightseeing places. As per our past experience we went to all the places which we have visited in last t
      rip. He won't give the priority to the travellers and his intention is to have food at particular times and bcoz of that we were not seen some places and he asked us to have food in the local hotel which doesn't have proper ambience. I won't prefer the driver Thomas for other travellers. We got this driver from Namaskaram travels

      Harigayu's 3 days trip to Varkala

      Namaskaram travels is not a local Kerala agent in first place. The itinerary is good. But he missed to coordinate in connecting to driver earlier. Also, haven't updated in hotel about checkin early. Also didn't update us on hotel location and told us at the last moment.We only asked the hotel manage
      r about it. Also confusion in connecting to drivers. Also haven't sent us the payment link earlier instead urged us to pay on the day of trip. Could have avoided these many confusions. Otherwise trip went well.

      Rushabh's 7 days trip to Varkala

      The Cab & Driver behaviour was very good. The Services of Balaji Vacations was also good. The hotels were good but in Coimbatore Hotel Le Grand Breakfast was given in sealed package instead of buffet which results to wastage of food. In Minner the hotel was good but on top of the hill and far away f
      rom main market of Munnar. The hotel of Thekkady was best. The hotel of Alleppey was good but old furniture and fittings. Cochin hotel was good just near to Airport. Best memories were Adi Yogi, Munnar, Thekkady National Park and Boat Ride, Alleppey Shikara Ride. The driving skill of Driver in mountain was excellent.

      Arati's 6 days trip to Varkala

      Our trip started beautifully with great hotels in Munnar and Thekkady, but the houseboat experience in Alleppey was a total disaster. The boat looked nothing like the pictures which shared during trip booking—it was small, poorly maintained, and had an unsanitary kitchen. The biggest issue was the s
      taff; the driver was drunk which is unacceptable and dangerous.

      Ssachdeva's 6 days trip to Varkala

      We enjoyed our trip to Kerala. Hotels particularly at Munnar (Winter note) was superb. Driver Srineevas was very cooperative, down to earth, fully knowledge person to take all the members of the group directly to North Indian food restaurants and enjoyed the food. He was very patient, friendly and a
      lways give respect to his tourists. My travel company Travel Inbound, Bangalore manager, Ms. Mamataji, Shri Sanjiv Katoch ji was always approachable to extend their full help and feel us very important and guided us on every step and offered their best knowledge to finalise the best hotels where all my senior citizen members enjoyed the stay. Really memorable travel plan prepared by them. Recommended to avail their services. Winter Note at Munnar having a balcony which opened towards Forest side where I enjoyed chirping of birds which is still in my ears and memory. Travel unbound will be the only company to book other travel plans. Visit to Pariyar lake, hotel Winternote having forest balcony with chirping of birds was fabulous.
