Supriya's 5 days trip to Pondicherry

Had a really great experience with Comfort Destination Pvt Ltd during our recent Pondicherry trip. Everything was very well planned—from the comfortable and well-located hotels in Pondicherry and Mahabalipuram to the smooth local travel. The driver assigned to us was very polite, punctual, and made the journey even more relaxing with his safe driving and helpful nature. A special shoutout to Sameer, the tour manager who coordinated everything for us. Right from the first conversation, he was super responsive, patient with all our queries, and made sure every detail of the trip was covered. He followed up regularly before and during the trip to check if we were comfortable, which was really reassuring. Thanks to him, we didn’t have to worry about a thing and could just enjoy the holiday.

Ranju's 3 days trip to Pondicherry

Vehicle was ok ok type .agency agreed to provide sedan or swift but instead of that on last day the vehicles was 10 seater mini bus. Language barrier with driver. We have already paid all amount but still driver was asking money for toll and parking. Driver nature was good ; no insecurity but no professional behaviour regarding payment.
