Abhishek Jaiswal

Kolkata

Abhishek's 9 days trip to Kandy

It was a great trip as most of it was planned by us and was guided a bit by White Monkeys. Having a car with a driver at all times was great. The driver was also very sweet and humble. Apart from the things that worked there were many moments of miscommunication from the travel agent which made us

lose money. In certain cases we also had our shortcomings, but the discount opportunities were not communicated to us by the travel agent. We were misled about the timings of our jeep tour for Yala National Park, we were not told about the saarc country discounts, the driver had very little knowledge about places. All of these definitely made us feel that we overpaid atleast 200usd for the package. The travel agent also didn't accept these issues and chose not to respond. It was a great trip but these were the only moments of disappointment and frustration.
