Rohan's 5 days trip to Rameshwaram

Madurai Hotel was not good. Also can driver was good in driving but was unable to speak/understand in Hindi or English. Travel triangle is keeping the high amount of margin here which can be reduced. Also the price I paid was very high if i compare the hotel quality and find the cost breakdown.

Kajalsal's 6 days trip to Rameshwaram

The trip was well planned. There was no rush or chaos at any destination. The driver Mr. Srinivas was very friendly and talktive. He was alway ready to take us whichever place we want to visit without any complaints. The hotels provided are very neat, clean and safe. Hotel at Madurai was far way from the Meenakshiamman temple and other places. Hotels at Rameshwaram and Kanyakumari was very close to hhe major tourist places almost at 5-15min walking distance. It really help us to explore the city even better. Overall it was an excellent experience of travelling without any tension. Entire trip was a best to preserve in our memory. One thing I would like to mentioned is the local south Indian food we had during intercity traveling was best. Also, the exploration of wax museum in kanyakumari give us lots of funny and happy memories. Also the sunrise experience at Kanyakumari pier is one of its kind, it's mesmerizing.

R's 5 days trip to Rameshwaram

Recently we went for a trip to Madurai, Rameswaram, Dhanushkodi, and Kanyakumari. I must say, our trip was well-planned by Travel Corp making us feel comfortable throughout. Our hotels at these 3 locations were superb. Our driver Arun has made our trip smooth with his friendly cooperation. We covered all the places as included in our travel itinerary. We celebrated my daughter's 3rd birthday as a destination birthday in Dhanushkodi. We will forever cherish those heartfelt moments in our life. Mr. Abhishek from Travel Corp has addressed our petty concerns with patience and empathy. He was always at reach over a call. We thank him wholeheartedly for beautifully planning our journey as this trip remains very special in our lives. We will recommend Travel Corp for your future trips!
