    Dhanraj's 6 days trip to Dubai

    Overall, the tour was well managed. However, we did encounter some issues with the local driver. He was very rude and was rashly driving. All the guests were afraid. The city tour fellow. The rest was as requested and booked. Thank you

    Dmonica's 6 days trip to Dubai

    The trip planning was initially coordinated well by Shilpa and Akansha. They were responsive, answered all our queries patiently, and were supportive during the planning phase. However, the actual issues started from the very first day of the trip. The cab service was consistently unreliable. The cabs were never on time and were almost always 15–20 minutes late. We were usually given a pickup slot (for example, 9:15–9:30), but the cab never arrived within the mentioned window. I understand that these slots are planned keeping traffic conditions in mind, so occasional delays are acceptable—but this happened almost every single time. Out of the 6 days, 3 days were particularly stressful due to these delays. While some drivers were extremely polite, gentle, and stuck to what they promised, others were very disappointing. They would say they would arrive in 15 minutes but would not show up even after 45 minutes, often without proper communication. We opted for a cab service expecting convenience and peace of mind. Instead, it became a constant source of stress. We had traveled from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to Dubai in our own car and chose to use local cabs in Dubai hoping for a relaxed and enjoyable holiday. Unfortunately, by the end of the trip, we felt that driving ourselves would have been far less stressful and would have made the experience better. Another drawback was related to the hotel accommodation. We were informed that king-size beds would be provided, but the rooms had small double beds instead, which was disappointing. Overall, we are very unhappy with the services provided. My previous trip to Maldives was amazing with Travel Triangle, so I opted it again, now, it was terrible!

    Krishna's 5 days trip to Dubai

    Hotel is nice but some things look old and not so neat, breakfast also not so good. Location of hotel is good, near to metro and some of the attractions Cab and Driver: Cabs are clean and drivers were punctual in picking up on time and dropping off at the attraction or hotel. Only thing better could have been city tour but may be not much can be done with limited time we have for city tour. Services of travel agent: Overall very satisfied with the planning and services provided. Everything went very smooth with no issues. As I have said above, city tour would have been better, may be need more time for city tour. My stay at Dubai was very pleasant. Thanks to Dubai operation team of travel agent.
