    I recently had the most wonderful holiday in Goa with Travel On Ease, and I cannot thank Kewal and Poonam enough for making the trip so memorable. From the very beginning, the planning was smooth and hassle-free. They patiently listened to my requirements, understood exactly what kind of holiday experience I was looking for, and tailored the package accordingly.

The choice of accommodation was excellent—comfortable, clean, and close to the beach, which made the whole experience even better. What impressed me most was the personal attention and care throughout the trip. Kewal kept checking in to ensure everything was going smoothly, while Poonam made sure that even the smallest details, like food preferences and activity timings, were taken care of. The trip had the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. Whether it was exploring Goa’s vibrant culture, enjoying the nightlife, or relaxing by the sea, every moment was well-planned and thoroughly enjoyable.

    Lokesh's 4 days trip to Pune

    Decent enough! The rooms they booked are very basic rooms but charges are on a bit higher side. We had to reach to the hotel and had to call them to confirm the booking. (Not pre-booked) Cab services were good tho! Driver was very much into our plan and on time to the places we wanted to visit. Overall a moderate experience!
