Trip to Tamil Nadu
Had trouble with Hotel Rooms & related Services. Nothing wrong with the booking. Cab driver was good however he should have been informed about the actual itinerary. Last day he dropped us by afternoon while we paid to have can till night. It was because he wasn't informed. This should have been dealt carefully from the agent and dealer side.Trip to Tamil Nadu

Service by chill memories was very good. Hotels and cab service are excellent. Karthik is very good and he is always reachable. Driver doesn't know the timings of the places. As we don't know about the places there, he should plan day accordingly. He missed that. This is the only one thing I felt badTrip to Tamil Nadu
Ooty Trip was awesome. Especially candle light dinner arranged by Mr rakesh was too good. The only thing that didn't go our way was driver proficiency in english and hindi but he was helpful. Will advice everyone to go with shoppers trip Ooty Trip was awesome. Especially candle light dinner arranged by Mr rakesh was too good.

Driver was not at all friendly. When we reach coimbatore, he was not even coming out of the car to meet us. Myself and my wife had to search for his car in parking area. he didnt even help us with placing luggages in dickey. We have seen him friendly with other people/drivers on the way. he never smiled at uss and didnt even say good morning which is very basic manners tourist drivers should have. Firsttime ever in my lifetime i had tour with such a difficult driver. There were some communciation gap happened in between with driver and agency. I had to inform sky tours to coordinate it. He just did his duty by taking us to good spots. And his drIving is good. I am very happy with the services provided by hotel. We were having headache when we reached there and hotel guys gave us tablet and vicks. They have arranged very nice food from outside which is delicious and Moderate price.
