Vivek's 5 days trip to Tamil Nadu

Superb cab driver in chennai Mr Ganesham..enjoyed the whole trip

Vivek Saini Tamilnadu

Syed's 3 days trip to Tamil Nadu

My experience with Travel Triangle was truly amazing. Everything, from pickup to drop-off, went smoothly. Our driver, Bhalu Sir, was incredibly kind and experienced, serving as both a driver and guide. He ensured we visited all the famous spots in Ooty. A big thanks to Travel Triangle for the excellent arrangements, and special thanks to Rahul, our agent, who supported us throughout the trip. A small suggestion for Travel Triangle: please coordinate with the car owner, as he was pressuring us to pay the remaining amount directly to him without consulting the Travel Triangle agent. Other than that, everything went smoothly and was amazing.

Over all our trip is good only in srirangam hotel we faced trouble regarding room when 4 persons are staying in one room how can they adjust in small size bed and room. So I have to pay extra 865 rs to upgrade the room. In all other hotels it was very good and happy. Pls don't make these simple mistakes.

M Ramesh Hyderabad

Nairanjalis's 3 days trip to Tamil Nadu

The travel agent shares only a standard basic package instead of sharing multiple options. Also the travel plan is not based on the place from where the customer is coming. If the customer asks for a better option then only suggesting. It should be like sharing the best plan ensuring customer's comfort as well as within the budget.
