Trip was ok. And disappointed with Pick Trip agent which was not fulfilled most of our requirements as per the original booking, The Hotel rooms are different form the booking, And accommodated the other hotel which was take more time by agent as finally checked in the hotel at 6.pm which was supposed to 12.00 pm. So whole half a day trip planned was cancelled due to the hotel check in. And the hotel breakfast not available as per booking which is different from the booking. But driver was too good and friendly to manage with cover most of the places but still few's are missed out as per the booking. Overall enjoyed and OK. ThanksTrip to Maharashtra
Suhas was good at planning all the things and his responsiveness and support was great. He is very polite and coordinated with another hotel and provided us different hotel when there was a problem. Though he helped us to change the hotel on the next day, we faced difficulty for one night as the opted hotel (Royal Hills @Mahabhaleswar) maintenance is not good and the hotel staff behavior is ridiculous. Driver is good but he does not know much places when we asked him where to dine out. Also he is having very less idea on the routes and different tourist spots to visit. In every hotel, breakfast available after 9 AM. I don't understand how this policy has made for tourist places. I was disappointed about the breakfast timings and it was not informed earlier and did not stated in any of the quotes.Trip to Maharashtra
Not an expected good experience Travel agent mr.pulkit had very much disappointed us. Below expectationsTrip to Maharashtra
Not an expected good experience Travel agent mr.pulkit had very much disappointed us. Below expectationsTrip to Madhya Pradesh
Overall experience was nice. Reg Hotel at Jabalpur we had already offered our opinion. Pl try to avoid that hotel for future guests. Other hotels were ok. We had opted for stay at Orchha. But it was without knowing abt place. U can offer stay at Zasi rather than at Orchha which is more convenient. Bedhaghat was superb.Duwadhar fall also very nice. Bandhavgarh tour was nice. We could see Zasi Fort. As Rani Laxmibai was from Maharashtra, it was a proud feeling for us to visit the place.Trip to Maharashtra
Our first hotel Zip by spree spine was good in ambience. But, their restaurant was under repair and food was not available. They suggested us to order food from Swiggy. Our second hotel room was initially not having enough of space for our family. Later on room was changed on our request. The difference amount paid by me and it was refunded by agent afterwards. The third hotel 'Treebo Hillway inn' worst in condition. Location is very poor. Too small a room and bathroom exactly opposite to bed and we were unable to close the door as it was swollen. No curtain is provided. We were not given option for choosing from other rooms. But the dood was very good in this hotel. Sightseeing was good in Mahabaleshwar. Driver was very good and cooperative. Mahabaleshwar sightseeing at all points. Especially we felt very happy to see waterfalls and lion's point and Elephant point. Finally we have ended with great plateau land Panchgani. It was superb and awesome.
