Washington DC Tour Packages

later on, especially when I wanted them during the course of trip. As a traveller, I expect my travel agent to stay in touch and take feedback atleast once at the end of day. But, there was nothing from Breezy travel and infact, even till date, She has not made any attempt to check how my trip went. Thats because, She know what my response would be. Major concerns- 1. From the beginning I made it very clear that the booking is done with a condition for visiting Teetwal, which is close to LOC, which required permit. Travel agent assured me that she has spoken to concerned officials and took all our IDs. But, nothing she did. After arriving at Srinagar she told (upon checking multiple times) that the driver will handle everything. Our visit to Teetwal was not at all certain even on the day of our visit. The driver just took us to DC office which was closed because of weekend! Upon telling this she asked us to go to Kralpora police station and told driver is all aware and he will handle it. When we reached Kralpora police station the driver happily left me handle all of this and sat with his mobile phone. What a joke! I had to use my own contacts and eventually got the permit. Wasted over 1 hour due to this mishap. 2. Due to space constraint we upgraded to TT from Crysta from Day 2 and that was the mistake. The vehicle was not in condition (driver clearly mentioned this when he took the TT for getting minor maintenance done. Greasing was done and told this vehicle was idle for a long time). Really ? You took additional Rs. 8500 for this junk vehicle with which we need to travel 160+ kms one way in rough terrain?! As expected, the vehicle broke down after couple of hours and we lost almost 1 and a half hour. We ended up reaching Teetwal late, ruining our plans. 3. There was an unwanted de-tour while returning from Kupwara and instead of taking a straight route, the driver took some interior route, touched Baramulla and arrived at Srinagar. This not only delayed our arrival by 1 hour 30 mins, but also put us in a tense situation. This was completely uncalled for citing there is some religious procession when the road was shit empty. You cannot make your guest have an uncertain time. 4. The driver showed a very casual attitude throughout the trip and never paid attention to our request. AC wasnt turned on when the weather was damn hot in Srinagar (despite agreeing to pay the charges). To Breezy travels- your driver had a dedicated fan on top of him and he made us sit in hot weather. Yeah, you say no one in Kashmir use AC. But we do!. Furthermore, we ended up missing visiting few places due to his careless and lethargic behaviour. We made a mistake by being very nice to him, taking care of his stay in Teetwal and food during entire trip since he was diabetic. We get this for the care we showed. Driver should be treated as a driver!. 5. There was no clear communication on Shikara ride and when we went to the Ghat, we did not get what the lady told. Since we just wanted to be done with it, we completed the ride which was completely waste of time as they make us visit their shop for purchase even on dal lake!. Let the people enjoy their vacation! 6. While dropping us back to the airport the driver asked for AC charges and i outright rejected and Breezy travels were immediately involved. To my surprise, their statement was 'You have to pay AC even if it's used for sometime'. Madam, as communicated on call, I pay for what I get. If i ask the driver to turn on the AC, he should. If I ask him to turn it off, he should. Only then I am obligated for payment. Its not like the driver switches on and off as he please and ask me to pay for all days. It was very evident that the AC was not working properly, the temperature was not set lower than 26 degrees and we traveller's were taken for granted! The driver still took 1200 in the form of tips and AC charges. We just wanted to be done with him and paid and left. Few pros- 1. Hotel Kareem residency stay was good only for 3rd night stay since I spoke to the hotelier and got my rooms changed. Requested change of hotel to travel agent on 1st day and no outcome so took this on my own hands and spoke to hotel for change of rooms for my return stay. 2. Food in Kareem residency was very good. I understand they are running on 50% offer so all the travel agents have flocked this hotel and that is good for traveller's. 3. Driver and car given for 1st day was so good. We missed the driver (Mr. Riyaz) on remaining days and will directly get in touch with him when I visit next time. A note to travel agent. 1. Please ensure you speak to travellers during the trip. Booking the hotel and cab is not the end of your duty. 2. Even to this date; 15th July 2025 travel agent has not made any efforts to seek a feedback on the trip. I wanted for a week and then submitting this to travel triangle to seek a fair audit on service standards. 3. You are obligated to take all payments through travel triangle. Please dont insist for direct payment citing avoidance of convenience fee as travellers know what they incur.

he DC representative did not provide information on available low cost travel options, and quoted significant taxi amounts even for a small journey. We managed to travel in 95% less amount than what was quoted to us by the DC with our own research. None of the activities are included as part of the package, and constitute significant additional cost in addition to the package cost. It would be helpful, if at least something is included, or an indication is provided on the estimated costs. Overall, we enjoyed the trip, with minor issues here and there.

team for making it happen and a big shoutout to Rahul

ncisco , Los Angeles , Las Vegas , New York , Washington and Miami. The chief person in this entire trip RASHID is a perfect professional and a lovely person. I was circumspect about trusting such a big tour and the money being invested and god forbid get a bad deal in hotels or so but I must say that every service and co-ordination be it hotel or transfers or sight seeings etc were all precise and absolutely as agreed and understood between us. He is a very knowledgeable person and one who keeps his word and continuously follows up before the tour for any required changes and feeding of documents / tickets / vouchers etc as also whilst on tour as to our timing , any issues or dissatisfaction or any matter if at all. This is professionalism as usually tour operators take the money and look for their next potential customer without ensuring whether the clients are getting it all what they have been committed too. I have myself t ravelled a lot in the past 3 decades so I know where the tour operators can let you down and swallow a good chunk for their profits but with Rashid and TMS Holidays I am completely satisfied and the 9 out of 10 is because there is always room for improvement and few small things can be ironed out but they are not at any negative for me. I will surely consider TMS Holidays and Rashid for my future tours whenever and It is my honest statement that TMS Holdays with Rashid in it is GENUINE AND RELIABLE TOUR OPERATOR and wish he keeps and maintains the same good attitude and commitment. This is all possible when customers/ clients also make their requirement clear and confirm to the tour programme without any misunderstanding like I felt I had this understanding with them. I would also commend Babloo of the transfer section from Avis India who was excellent his co-ordination and regular follow ups and timely intimation of pick ups and drop offs even though it was very odd timing with the time difference in India and US., Good Luck and wish you the very best of success and Life always.

we had to walk down to different hotel lobby. 3. For city rides at New york , we had to walk down to get tickets. 4. Better Flight could have been suggested as we stayed at New Jersy, for Orlando we went to far away Laguardia airport as we asked it , instead from newark side many flights for orlando are available. we coughed down lot of amount to reach airport. 5. For veg meals, restaurant suggestion were good, can add few outlets to consider Subway - 12 inch , Chiputale good. Suggested Raskia restaurant at DC was costly. Bavarchi at Orlando won our heart. 6 Suggest - in one or two days visit, instead of hip hop tour, provide ticket of famous locations visit. ( at New york, instead hip hop tour- entry ticket to visit Empress state bldg or Rockefeller center, Times square visit, 9/11 memorial visit , Hudson square, would be better. 7.Hotels at DC was best, at new york not that good as no pantry kettle , Orlando was worst as it had no pantry, no glasses, kettle. Early morning tea was badly affected. 8. . Overall trip was good.

se from him to any query. Well done.

ves us well but restaurant food test was not so good. and hotel in dalhousie hotel president had excellent food test but rooms are not as much comfortable, bathrooms are congested,

allery (we were not) where not allowed to skip it, or rather we were forcefully made to visit it, because travel agent (travelbullz representative said its compulsory no option). We were suggested an enrooted half day trip of Bangkok city which was not worth (for which we had to spend 1.5 Hrs waiting @ Bangkok DC place for cab) enrooted tour missed reclining Buddha, floating market etc, imp attractions. In fact we were not even made aware of the existence of sea life Bangkok. We went there on our own cost and we had a wonderful experience. Hotels in Phuket (Andaman beach suites) was very good. We were made to wait for 2.5 Hrs for cab transfer for Bangkok to Pataya, since it was SIC basis driver was waiting for other family, which eventually dint show up, and finally after 2.5 Hrs. he left with whoever was available, rather he could have confirmed their arrival and saved out time. Rest bookings allowed hassle free travel. It ensured a generally memorable trip thanks “Breakbag Holidays Pvt. Ltd” Suggestions: 1. Bangkok airways flight was not up to the mark. Better opt for Thai Airways 2. Pattaya loft hotel at pattaya, not good don’t book (co-traveler’s experience) 3. Sea sun sand hotel Phuket check-in time 14.00 Hrs, or pay extra one day cost (co-traveler’s experience)
