Nikhilngoythale's 5 days trip to Coonoor

The trip was good but could have been better or best if the hotel and points as per itternary for coorg could have been covered. The stay at ooty was very good and 70% of points as per itternary were covered. But as the stay in coorg was very unhigenic and location was very far which made driver to

skip all the points in coorg except elephant camp and coffee plantation. The most important point is there was not coordination between All India Holiday and the travel agency about the no of day stay in ooty & coorg also the trip itternary was also not available with driver which made troublesome for me to convince him about which point he was about to cover.

Vivek's 5 days trip to Coonoor

Cab driver was good but cab vendor behaviour was unprofessional. Just for Rs 300 he made the vehicle stop in the middle of the trip. He was not even ready to listen to me.

The services were good overall...Travel agent was reachable to me for any queries or issues. Cab driver was good as well. The only problem we faced was there was no restaurant near hotel in Trivandrum. Stay was comfortable though.

Gwadibhasme's 4 days trip to Coonoor

ज्या भाषेचा माणूस टूर का गेला तर लँग्वेज च्या खूप मोठा प्रॉब्लेम होतो कारण ड्रायव्हरला स्थानिक भाषा येते आणि आपली भाषा आपण काय बोलतो ते कळत सुद्धा नाही. हा एक मोठा डिफॉल्ट मला या ooty ट्रीप मध्ये दिसून आला. म्हणून ज्या भाषेचे लोक फिरायला गेले त्यांना त्या राज्यामध्ये त्याच भाषेच्या किंवा हिंदी भाषा

ज्ञात असलेला ड्रायव्हर पुरविण्यात यावा हीच अपेक्षा. आधी योगी फारच सुंदर ...आणि Ooty तर बेस्ट . कर्नाटका good ड्रायव्हर ड्रायव्हिंग वेरी गुड व्हेरी व्हेरी गुड
