Sunny Samuel Mumbai

Kotha's 11 days trip to Chiang Mai

I must say, it was a great and smooth experience with their service. The initial quote they provided was the best and lowest compared to others, so I decided to proceed with them. After sharing the quote, they didn't keep calling repeatedly, which I appreciated. Even after I made the advance payment, there was a change in flight fares, and they handled it professionally, assisting me and booking according to my preference. I can say that you can trust them for seamless service, timely assistance, and a hassle-free experience. Thanks to Ananta Tours & Team.

Aman Rawat New delhi

The's 7 days trip to Chiang Mai

Eazyatra Senior Travel Advisor Mr Ashish sir is a very helpful individual and connects with every customer on a personal basis. His response is very quick, and the post service of refunds were also done quickly in my case. Overall I had a fantastic holiday experience, apart from a few things which the company needs to take care of, in terms of timing of transfers via cab/boats etc, also the hotels, which I am pretty sure Eazyatra is trying to improvise on, based on client feedbacks.
