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.

Abhishek's 3 days trip to Coonoor

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

Srkahmed's 2 days trip to Coonoor

This was my first time traveling with TravelTriangle, and I would like to sincerely appreciate Vishwajeet Singh for his consistent follow-ups and assurance that everything would go smoothly. He asked us to trust him—and he delivered. Even during the trip, he checked in to ensure we faced no issues. I truly believe he is a valuable asset to your team.

Dhairyasheel's 5 days trip to Coonoor

If it is a peak travel time, you can suggest us for some other off season time so we can change the plans accordingly.. due to peak time, the places were too crowded so could not visit some of the points.

Srilakshmi's 4 days trip to Coonoor

Both Krish Garden farm resort at chidambaram and Welcome Grand Residency Hotel at Pondicherry are very clean and neat. Vehicle Provided for 14 people travel also had nice comfortable seats and ample space for baggage. Driver was friendly and also communication was fine. Blissful journey team planned the trip with great care and budget we requested addressing our every minor requirement. The Blissful journey team was very polite and caring during the whole Journey. the whole trip has been a very nice memorable experience.

Vikrantgehlot's 5 days trip to Coonoor

Overall trip was very good. Hotels accommodation was also good. Driver was professional and cooperative but vehicle Innova provided was although neat & clean from inside but since it was very old hence was not good enough for hill station rides and pickup & speed was lacking. Travel agent was not upto his words regarding payment. Previously he gave us the option to pay 2nd installment after reaching the hotel while booking the package whereas he asked us to pay 2nd installment instantly 1 day before beginning of the trip. Although travel triangle team told us not to pay any other person or agent. My feedback is to improve the payment system such as paying 50% advance and remaining 50% during the trip. Or 50% advance and 25% at the start and remaining 25% at the mid of the trip, as per convenience.
