    Latha's 4 days trip to Mumbai

    We had a great trip. Trip squaree's coordination was very good. Ms. Nidhi Singh is a wonderful person who coordinated very well. A very patient and a friendly person. she even arranged for a cab for one of the passenger who had to leave in between. The person was dropped safely at the airport . Ever
    ything from pickup to sightseeing was comfortable. But the driver was not very familiar with the location. Everytime we asked something he had to google and find it. He is not very comfortable with Hindi as well. He knew Marathi well. Complementary Breakfast at Hotel Mahabaleshwar Fragrance was very average. Because it is free they did not even care to provide a side dish for rava kichdi. We had a power cut for more than 2 hours and no generator was there. Once we reached we had a leak of AC water but they fixed it very soon. Overall it was great trip and we have a wonderful memory about the same for the rest of our lives. Thank you Trip Squaree and Travel triangle for arranging a good trip within our budget.
