Trip to Rajasthan
Amazing experience. Very good and helpful staff. Only concern was "Kanj Avatar Resort" in Pushkar was a bit far from city, so even though facility was good it wasn't very convenient. Would've preferred something closer to the city. Everything else was perfect, best service no complaints !!! Kudos !!!Trip to Andaman
Thanks to Travel Triangle and Ecstasy for very nice coordination and wonder full 8 Day trip to Andaman. All credit goes to first to Muthu then Mr Arief and the Ancy for their excellent planning and customer obsession booking and the arrangements.Mr Arief is a gentle man and a good planner.we missed my first day tour due to missing of flight but Arief manage last day very nicely.Hotel at Havelock Dolphin beach resort was one of the best hotel in Havelock and famous for nice view and it self beach also foods on the reasonable price.Hotel at Neil Perl park was an best choice in Neil.Also i want to thanks Mr John cab driver at Havelock who treat like a family.I strongly recommend Andaman Ecstasy for booking holiday trip to Andaman.I am from Kota Rajasthan if need any help pl feel free to contact me at 9414662560.Trip to Rajasthan
Super excellence Garib Nawaz, and Taj Mahal, is super places of our memoriesTrip to Rajasthan
Took a trip with traveltriangle (and DIU holidays) to Rajasthan. It was my first trip via traveltriangle based on quotes and feedback from friends. But it turn out to be not so good. Contact person from TT was not available at all, when i need to callback, it was automated system no real person. Only time i got response is the time when i paid money installment. Even automated system asked for number so that TT can callback, but not received any call. So anyone booking with TT should note that TT will NOT be there when you need. Good thing in trip was Contact person from DIU holidays, he picked phone when required and had been in kind of constant touch. You can count on them. Coming to trip itself: DRIVER was worst, his objective was just to pass the time so that he don't have to drive and find a free parking even if we have to walk long distances (parking, toll etc. was included in our price). He will say negatives things about spots that were mentioned in itinerary so that we dont visit that place and refuse slightest detour as it was not part of itinerary. first HOTEL was not so good, far far from city and not at all family environment (it was a OYO hotel, you know what goes with those). Second HOTEL was good. Best thing was Sultan resort and sand dunes. DIU had planned trip well and will definitely book with them in future.Trip to Rajasthan
It was a great experience hotel, cabs and agent services are very good. Neeraj was very helpful and cooperative throught the trip. Hotel had arranged a very good celebration for my kids birthday on request of agent and our side. All group members had enjoyed the trip.Trip to Rajasthan
overall, a very well managed trip! will certainly recommend TravelTriangle to others!Trip to Rajasthan
The services at the camp in sand dumes was not that good. Otherwise it was goodTrip to Rajasthan
We liked the personalised attention given for the Rajasthan tour and also fulfilment of last minutes requirements by trip advisor. Costing was genuine and justified. Udaipur is undoubtedly the place for leisure. Lake facing hotel was the best part.Trip to Rajasthan
Awesum trip...evrything is well planned nd perfect...thanks to mr jegender our travel agent...he planned our trip in most budget price woth all facilities..Trip to Rajasthan
Mr. Rakesh from Mudgil Travel has planned a perfect tour as per my requirement. Hotels were good at all 3 locations - Udaipur, Jodhpur & Jaisalmer. Also Tent at Sam Sand Dunes was awesome. Nice arrangement with Cab. Everything went well till the last day. Just on last day during drop at Railway station, driver Mr. Prakash was rude.
