Ankit's 2 days trip to Coonoor

Booking experience was very smooth and easy. Our stay was excellent. The resort was worth a 5 star. Food was awesome,staffs were very friendly and helpful. The ambience was superb, location is very good. We faced some problem regarding the car and the driver. The person is very money minded and did

skip couple of places. Please try to assign a young driver next time. Also, take the full responsibility to pay the amount to the transportation and the resort/hotel next time. Please assign a good car next time as we had to wait for more than 2 hours in pykara as the car did not respond because of battery problem. Please keep these couple of points the next time I am planning any tour. The stay The places we had visited

It was pretty nice trip, hotel staff was very helpful.

Kaushik Mukherjee

Mumbai

Kaushik's 8 days trip to Coonoor

The entire trip was planned really well and we were very happy with the arrangements. Our cab and driver was very helpful and he ensured we covered all the locations that are planned. The hotel in Kanakumari and Pondicherry could have been better as the break fast and rooms were not expected , the b

est arrangement was in Rameswaram and the hotel Arjuna was really good. The only challenge which i see is i did not get the trip invoice requested for claiming my TA and did not get any support from the agent. It would have been a great if i was supported on this front.
