Inner's 3 days trip to Almora

The office trip organized by TravelTriangle was excellent. Everything was well-planned and delivered as promised.

INNER FIT LABS PRIVATE LIMITED Gurgaon

Nitish's 3 days trip to Almora

It was good experience. However few things should have been cleared in the quotation. They have added lal tibba in the itinerary where there cab doesn't go. They asked us to visit other places instead of lal tibba. We visited lal tibba by walk as it was only 1 km from the other places. When we visited the other places via cab, lal tibba was in our way. What was the point of saying that we dont go there?? What i have understood is that they themselves not aware of the route. There was lack of clarity about th places. Otherwise overall experience was fine Everything except clarity for one of the place.

Ranbir's 7 days trip to Almora

Cab and driver was very good and cooperative, Few hotels had very basic rooms which should have been premium given we were travelling as premium category and investing decent amount.

RANBIR CHATTERJEE Dehradun

Gauri's 3 days trip to Almora

Driver tends to avoid visiting spots that cause him inconvenience. They shall be mandated by the agent to cover the spots given in the quote in any situation. The payment process seemed a bit haphazard. The website generates invoice other than amount decided. It has a scope to improve. Rest of the service was good, trip cost was reasonable. Good service.

Shakil's 4 days trip to Almora

Itinerary was very nicely planned. Cab provided was in good condition. Driver was very co-operative and showed us the places we wanted. Hotel view from Mussoorie was very good, but food was average. Overall, very good experience with Navicrow Holidays

Shakil Usgaonker Goa

Ashish's 3 days trip to Almora

La Nivasa hotel was very nice and the food, hospitality of the staff was very friendly. Specail thanks to Deepak who worked in La Nivasa for taking care of our request. The Cab driver experience was okay and could be improved. The driving partner ask for extra cash if they need to wait after 6 p.m. , this was never communicated before the trip and they do create a scene out of it. Last time when I visited Manali faced similar issue and this time in Nainital was not so different experience.
