    The trip went great! The travel itinerary was shared every day which was very helpful. A bit more research could have been made on the hotels and activities. Experience in one of the picked hotels was not upto the mark. It would have been more enjoyable if that was a good one like others. Thankyou
    travel triangle for making our trip memorable.

    Prasad's 10 days trip to Geneva

    We had a 10 days Switzerland trip planned through Street Romeo travels. Well planned. Customised as per our requirements. 24x7 Support through Whatsapp & Call. Be it Visa assistance or our 20-25 odd calls to change and tweak the itenarary, they were always there to listen and customise. Kudos to
    the patience and guidance provided. We got 100% commitment with prompt replies and brilliant support from Street Romeo travels. Special call out to Jigar, Rinkal & Maulik who answered every bit of our queries with patience and dedication. Maulik was available on call 24*& who would give detailed guidance, made us never feel alone or confused with his timely guidance. Would vouch for Street Romeo travels always, and try to do all my future tours with them,

    Seetha's 7 days trip to Geneva

    We are travel enthusiast and have travel a lot of destinations by researching on our own. By choosing travel triangle and Centaur vacation. We would like to have a turnkey solution if we are paying commission to the agent. The experience was nothing like that it. All the research was done by me like
    how far is the hotel from the main attractions ? Are there any good restaurants nearby ? how do we get to the main attractions? what does the hop on hop off bus offer? I have asked these questions repeatedly and got very vague answers from the agents until the final day where Kusum helped us a lot answering those unaswered questions I preferred a travel agent to give me all that information they seem to lack that information about Paris. The last day of hotel was horrible and filthy. I would rate it one star it is not livable and I’m not sure why the travel agent has chosen it. Lift is not working. They gave us 2 rooms away from the main building and rooms are so small. Photo attached. We had to immediately vacate and go to another four-star hotel and complete our trip. Also, some of the fine prints were not highlighted to us such as 1. Eiffel Tower tickets were not purchased and we had to stand in liny 2 hours to purchase it. Btw I was able to purchase the tickets online. Not sure why Centaur was not able to do so 2. Hop on hop off is only day tour and there is night tour separately 3. Eiffel Tower tickets will be refunded back 4. Switzerland plan was much smoother and easier with my research again. The reason we have used a travel agent is to make us more familiar with the with the place we are visiting and make it smoother such that our experience is going to be great. I did not get any such information from Centaur Vacations. It just look like I can use away Expedia or booking.com to book my hotels and I can put together my itinerary and that’s it. I believe that you guys have taken that travel agency commission for nothing I’m disappointed.
