    I recently had the pleasure of booking my trip with J Square Holidays Private Limited, and I must say, their service has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, they were transparent and efficient, providing exactly what was promised. What really stood out was their dedication t
    o delivering the services they committed to. Every detail of my trip was carefully planned, and everything went as smoothly as they had promised. There were no hidden surprises, and I felt fully supported throughout the entire process. I highly recommend J Square Holidays for anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy travel services. They truly go above and beyond to ensure their clients have a wonderful and stress-free experience.

    Ananya's 6 days trip to Dubai

    Hello, Overall, we had a wonderful trip, and we appreciate the efforts of your team. From the moment I reached out, the arrangements were made promptly, and any requested changes were incorporated smoothly. Rashi and Rishu were easily accessible both in India and Dubai, which was helpful. However,
    we did face a few challenges once we arrived at the destination. Traveling with two kids under the age of five, as we had mentioned earlier, required more thoughtful planning. Unfortunately, there were some gaps in the arrangements. We often lacked clear directions on what needed to be done or where to go, and since no dedicated guide is provided to assist us, more clarity on the itinerary was needed. At times few friendly drivers helped us, but most of them didn’t. The itinerary lacked clarity, which left us feeling lost and led to wasted time, especially challenging when traveling with young children. Meal planning was another area that needed attention. There was no guidance on lunch or dinner options, and on several occasions, overlapping plans left us without enough time to eat. As first-time visitors, some basic recommendations for dining locations would have been good. Sightseeing arrangements could also have been better organized. For example, the monorail starting point was incorrectly booked, and I am still awaiting the refund for that. Additionally, visiting Miracle Garden and Global Village on the same day was too exhausting given the size of both attractions. We could only spend limited time at each, which diminished the experience. The city tour also felt unnecessary, as it duplicated places we had already visited in detail, resulting in half a day wasted. While some drivers from the Rayna group were very friendly and supportive, others were not communicative or helpful. Since guides are not provided, we strongly suggest requesting the drivers to assist guests more actively. That said, we truly enjoyed our stay and are grateful for the overall arrangements made by your team. Thank you for your efforts! Best regards!
