Muniyanelumalai's 3 days trip to Pune

Muniyanelumalai Pune

Biswajit's 4 days trip to Pune

Quality of hotels and food services needs to be improved. The same feedback was provided to the travel agent too as we found the washroom needs modifications and cleanliness can be improved a lot. The food provided did not have right quality which needs an improvement. The points of Mahabaleshwar was mesmerising however the hours provided by the travel agent could have been little more as we had to really hurry in certain points. However, overall services were good and on time.

Biswajit Deb Pune

Ishan's 3 days trip to Pune

The trip and all the arrangements are good nothing issue on that part but the hotel you choose is not satisfactory. 1) No kitchen available 2) They insisted only for paid water bottles initially 3) Limited breakfast options available & quantity (means they are purchasing from outside & then provided to guests) Rest all is good. It was a memorable trip for all the guest. Tour manager SHREYA ji assist very well.

Very hot weather.....and couldn't complete Karla caves as three climbings of stairs in one day not possible

Azizahmed Shiraz Vijayapura

Aravind's 4 days trip to Pune

It was a great experience to spend the vacation time with my family. Thanks much for the organizers to have a great itinerary and professional driver who took care of our needs. However, it would have been great if the organizers could have made some pro-active suggestions in few plans. For example: I had to tell them to include the ferry experience to Alibag from Mumbai as the initial plan they had made did not involve the ferry - but the on-road trip to Alibag. These small things matter.
