    Vinod Kumar

    Hyderabad

    Vinod's 4 days trip to Madurai

    The hotels provided in two places is mediocre. The cab driver is excellent and very helpful through out the tour. One thing which I did not like is he collected amount in several installments.

    Rishika's 4 days trip to Madurai

    I have booked international travels from travel triangle and the support was great. This was first time booking a domestic travel and the overall interaction with TT was not good. Even on raising concerns and escalations nothing happened. I have lost trust in TT now. Going with other agencies for my

    Ankit's 7 days trip to Madurai

    The only problem was mismanagement and operational issues. Most of the time the cab vendor was getting in touch with me for payment. Either there was some confusion or payment issue, I already had done full payment so why should I get bothered. Hotels were Very good, drivers too were good All the t

    Trupti's 3 days trip to Madurai

    Overall it was ok. Full disappointing on first day ,as driver said he needs money otherwise it's difficult to go. After speaking to the owner things got sorted out but still it was really awkard infront of family members to listen to all that. And later toy train we didnt get. Hotel one from was lea

    Shreya's 6 days trip to Madurai

    The trip was very good. We satisfactorily covered sightseeings in each city comfortably. We are very happy with the arrangements. However the quality of 3* hotels can improve a lot. In some places it was below our expectation.
