    Saravanakumar's 5 days trip to Sigiriya

    Our trip was really good. The srilankan tour agent helped us a lot 'dilini'. A spl thanks to her and the tour guide & driver. The only one which I don't like is the travel triangle agent, I forgot her name. She was super rude and acting like a PM (no time to speak etc etc). I never had this kind o
    f experience with anyone.

    Our holiday with trip travel hub was good. Efficient service for people in our group wanting a change in itenary at last moment. Travel agent was very accommodating. Gave us good car with driver. Only at Mirissa the room given to us was on 4th floor but no lift facility.

    Moushumi Ghosh

    Hyderabad

    Moushumi's 6 days trip to Sigiriya

    I would say my overall trip was fine but there is scope of improvement when it comes to itinerary and planning. We could not cover a lot of points irrespective of the fact we started everyday as early as 9am. We barely got any time to shop in Colombo, in fact Lotus tower was the only place we could
    vidit after our arrival to Colombo and the cab driver didn't let us shop the next day or on our last day when we headed 5-6 hours early to the airport. The hotels were good except for the fact that two of them had no lifts but we had to climb stairs which was not beforehand. In fact the hotel which had a great view in Kandy, I requested the agent if we could stay there instead of going to Nuwara eliya but since it was last minute it was not acceptable. I would give 3 out 5 as there is scope of having better experience. My best memory is the time we spent in the Millennium elephant orphanage where we fed and bathed the elephant and walked with one.

    Trip Travel Hub provided what they promised, good car, good driver which is the most important aspect of the tour. Sachini from Trip Travel hub was in constant touch with us before the journey started, share the details of the vehicle before hand. Doshan during the whole trip was very helpful and gu
    ided us through out the trip. Trip travel hub is an agency which can be trusted for Srilanka tours.
