Mohammad's 4 days trip to Coonoor

Hotel Golden Castle was not up to the standard, their rooms were good but amenities were not nice, they didn’t had kitchen operating and every time we had to order food from outside, also we had to ask for toiletries as it was not their along with water bottles in the room and milk sachets and same is the case with tea and coffee sachets Apart from this entire trip went really nice and all thanks to Kimaya from Travel Corp for arranging such an amazing trip. Kempscave was great stay with no complaints and along with all the famous sightseeing . Very nice and great experience throughout the trip

Taher's 6 days trip to Coonoor

Travel Agent Should focus and guide better to visit places that are worth of visit and money. 50% of places were useless and not worth of visit

Taher Sarsawala Ahmedabad

Vinzeeus's 2 days trip to Coonoor

I am not satisfied with service provided , while booking agent told he will provide hindi speaking driver also he said full day driver will be with you and wherever you want to take you can take him in stipulated time but , in actual that driver refused to go any far place which takes 30min only, driver said he will charge extra if he goes 30 min far from city , also he was not able to speak hindi or English properly. Also after booking driver details given very late to me , I only called to booking agent for driver number Kodaikanal stay was beautiful, sky view villa is best to stay
