    We (family of 5) had planned this vacation after a very long time and we are glad we did it through Travel Triangle. Communication was swift and timely. Pre-trip we had 3 or 4 quotes which we were able to review and decide what works best for us. The best part was the trip itself. Everything was org
    anized and executed to as planned (Big Thanks to Rayna Tours). Communication and service was exceptional. This allowed us to focus on what we wanted to do on the vacation - sightseeing, excursions, fine dining and relaxation. Will certainly use Travel Triangle again for future vacation plans.

    I strongly mention vishnu sir for all the international packages from discover days. He's a man of words. My trip was been postponed due to some passport issues,but vishnu sir was continuously following me regarding trip & end moment booking and all. One should blindly trust, vishnu sir for all the
    abroad packages, because he will guide you properly for everything before & during trip. Even, due to bad weather conditions our one day itinerary was wasted, but he made sure that everything gets covered, vishnu sir changed the whole itinerary again & completed our trip. I would also like to mention vaani mam for being so polite while making changes in trip back to back. Thank you vaani mam for being so kind. Once again thank you vishnu sir & vaani mam for such wonderful trip. Highly recommended vishnu sir, discover days
