      Agrawalvishesh

      Hyderabad

      Agrawalvishesh's 8 days trip to Varkala

      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

      Shivam's 5 days trip to Varkala

      THE SERVICE PROVIDED BY MR RANJIT FROM 7C AGENCY WAS EXCELLENT. THE CAB DRIVER WAS ANGRY YOUNG MAN BUT WAS VERY COOPERATIVE NAD HELPFUL. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT AS TOURIST WE VISIT KERALA FOR SHORT PERIOD AND WE TRY TO UNDERSTAND YOUR CULTURE, SO ATLEAST THE PERSON INTERACTING WITH IS THE MOST, THE
      DRIVER SHOULD ALSO TRY TO UNDERSTAND OUR BEHAVIOUR AS PER THE PLACE FROM WHERE WE BELONG AND SHOULD BE LENIENT.
