    Mr GSrinivas Saketh

    Visakhapatnam

    Mr's 5 days trip to Penang

    1.No proper information from the travel agent after the 1st installment payment done. We had to call and text him for the 2nd and 3rd installment payment. No update about the payment invoice, travel update and booking of hotel room. 2. Room booking dates were not proper according to the standard che
    ck in and check out times. Faced difficulty upon arrival in a different country. ( The hotel reception were very helpful although it resulted in spending more money to check in).

    Rama's 4 days trip to Penang

    Great trip, thanks to travel 2agent, mr. Vaishnav ji had made a perfect plan and provided a good hotel's and cab. Cab driver cum guide Sharad is a nice person. He explained all about Malaysia. This trip made me most memorable and sweet, because this is my family first international trip. They did al
    l tickets booking and visa process on time. Thanks to Amit for contacting and responding on time. As a happiest customer I suggest you to all that, believe travel 2agent and they make you tension free, they treat like a king. It's awesome trip. Thankyou vaishnav ji and Amit ji once again. Each second of trip is best memories, because it's my first international trip. Thankyou travel triangle and travel 2agent.

    Animesh Singhai

    Bengaluru

    Animesh's 6 days trip to Penang

    I booked my trip with Kushark from 9th to 15th Feb 2024, while overall itinerary was good & customized, cabs & drivers were really good, but was not at all happy with following: 1. Hotel Selection for Singapore (J8 hotel), you literally dont have any option for breakfast in Veg unless you want to ha
    ve only bread, they dontr even provide warm milk (this is never recommended) 2. Timings for excursions should have been better, we lost good amount of time and had to rush because of that in Singapore. For eg Universal Studios timings are from 10AM to 8PM, but our pick up from hotel was 11 & return pickup was 7:15; unnecessarily we lost 3 hours and had to miss rides. Similarly for MBS non peak hours entry is till 4/4.30; but our pick up was arranged at 2:45 and got dropped there at 3:15 and due to queue we entered thr at 4:45 and again had to rush & finish it is very quickly. I would mention Ankush (from Kushark) for his quick turnaround before & during the trip for queries & information; which was very helpful. Thansk!

    New delhi

    Sridhar's 7 days trip to Penang

    Superb trip however horrible service by Travel Triangle with regards to Travel Agent Divya Saxena as I had to chase agent multiple times for the voucher and had to intervene multiple times to ensure that the same was taken care of. The agent was least bothered and took her own sweet time to get back
    . This service is appalling and totally Dissatisfactory. Kindly ensure that this is not repeated. Island Hopping and Batu Caves.

    Sunil's 6 days trip to Penang

    Booked Malaysia trip from Kkingsman Travels via Travel Triangle. The quotation shared was the best among other travel agencies. They answered every query and provided recommendations on the attractions and places to visit. They also addressed the special request we had to book a hotel with kitchenet
    te and ensured to reserve it as per our needs. The payment option was plausible with three instalments in a span of 45 days. During my initial quotation VISA charges were included but once Malaysian government relaxed it they ensured to deduct those charges in the final installment. All the vouchers were shared on time and there were no hiccups during the travel. Everything was planned and executed well. They were in touch even during the travel ensuring everything is taking care. Special mention to Bhavay Garg and Divya for coordinating. I would highly recommend this agency if you are looking to travel overseas for vacation

    Suresh's 4 days trip to Penang

    Excellent! Every thing was perfectly organised. Mr.Sharad and Mr. Dev we're very punctual, very friendly and very helpful. The timings were well planned so that we could enjoy the trips fully without any rush or tension. Mr.Vaishnavs suggestions in customising the tour proved to be very helpful. Wit
    hin the limited time of 4 days, we could comfortably visit most of the attractions in Kuala Lumpur and got enough time to roam around and do some shopping by ourselves.
