Ms's 3 days trip to Bhubaneswar

Entire trip was good except the additional charges they asked for child. Travel agent and hotel argued that child is not included in my request. Though it was clearly mentioned in the invoice, 3 adults, 1 child, they blamed Travel Triangle for not sending them the child's information. Finally I had to pay for child additionally for 1 breakfast.

Anubhav Srivastava Delhi

Binay's 3 days trip to Bhubaneswar

I recently had the pleasure of booking a trip to Puri, Orissa through Holiday Mechanics, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience! From the very beginning, their customer service was outstanding by Chintu . He was incredibly helpful, answering all my questions and providing detailed information about the itinerary. The booking process was seamless and straightforward. I appreciated how the team took care of all the arrangements, including transportation, accommodation, and sightseeing tours. Upon arrival in Puri, everything was perfectly organized. The hotel - Xenious Hermitage Koshal, they selected was comfortable and conveniently located near the main attractions. One of the highlights of the trip was the guided tour of the Jagannath Temple. The guide was knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating insights about the history and significance of the temple. Additionally, the visit to the beautiful Puri Beach and the vibrant local markets was well-planned and thoroughly enjoyable. The entire trip was a perfect blend of cultural exploration and relaxation. Holiday Mechanics ensured that every detail was taken care of, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the experience without any worries. I highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Puri, Orissa. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to customer satisfaction truly set them apart. I look forward to booking my next adventure with them! Thanks Chintu once again.
