All were neatly planned. Well organised. Driver was helpful and suggestive . I know this was a budget hotel. But it can be little more better. Morning we need to wait for water in bathroom for both days .

Sumit Sharma Pune

Ramaswamy's 5 days trip to Lonavala

Hotels booked are not as expected and situated away from main area. Hotel Aristo at Lonavala is below average. Cab driver was very helpful but always on mobile during driving which I have advised him frequently not to attend phone calls during driving but not followed. Some times he leaves us on the road instead of nearby parking lot to avoid parking fee. Despite some setbacks we enjoyed well. When we went Orissa tour during Feb.25 booked through you, everything was fine

Driver is a good person, but looks like he has eye sight issue, night times his driving is not good, we are very afraid when he driving when are going on roads where divider is not there, we told many times pls slow down and go. Complementary breakfast is not good in hotel, its unhygienic. We covered the all main destinations what we planned and enjoyed.

Priyanka's 4 days trip to Lonavala

Overall very good planning by the team. We did not have any problem anywhere during the trip. However we didn't know about the convenience fee that was added to our package, which was a last minute surprise. Even the travel agent did not reveal it to us while we booked the trip
