Daschandrani's 3 days trip to Dehradun

I have recently visited rishikesh through Aapka Tripwala package booking for 2 days 1 night. With my parents. The trip has been real smooth and there has been an amazing support and collaboration from one of their representatives, Chirag. He was connected with me throughout the trip, taking care of pick up, drop off, sight seeing, check in, check out and even in the times of unpredictable seasonal changes. The trip didn't go as planned because of sudden cloud burst but I must acknowledge the help and support of Chirag - Thank You so much. Highly recommended for anyone planning to travel with a package and you will be more than lucky of your trip is being monitored by Chirag. Thank you, Apka Tripwala.

Shivesh's 5 days trip to Dehradun

A group of 15 people ranging from children to old people completed the tour of Nainital from 08 June 2025 to 12 June 2025 through Back to Holidays Company under the managership of Shreya ji. This tour, booked through Travel Triangle portal, was managed very well by tour manager Shreya ji from booking till completion of the trip. Shreya ji's words, behavior and management are praised everywhere. Our journey started from Bareilly Railway Station on 08 June 2025 and ended on 13 June 2025 at the same railway station with bittersweet memories. Back to Holidays Company had made arrangements for stay on first and second night in the name of Nainital at Hotel Polomax situated at a place called Bhujiaghat, 24 kms before Nainital (just 8 kms towards Nainital from Kathgodam Railway Station). Hotel Polomax was very good and its breakfast and dinner were very tasty, however, due to the distance of 24 kms from Nainital, the time for night visit was not utilized properly at all. The tour package company had booked Durgesh Resort in Ranikhet for the third and fourth night's stay. Here I would like to harshly criticize Back to Holidays that a group of 15 people ranging from children to elderly had to climb a total of 86 to 100+ hill stairs to reach the room at Durgesh Resort which was quite painful. Back 2 holidays booked very low class and unhygienic room. No other property adjecent to this. durgesh resort is suitable only for youngsters . Food quality was fine here. Manoj Bhaiya was managing all three of our cabs. The drivers of all the three cabs were very good natured. Apart from the tour package, they also took us to see Nainital's local deity Golu Devta at their own expense. My senior citizen father fractured his leg after slipping while visiting the golf course ground in Ranikhet. Manoj Bhaiya and his colleagues helped him a lot in his first aid and in finding a room for him away from Durgesh Resort. We are all very grateful to them for this. Tour covered maximum visiting points as per booking. I would like to give Back to Holidays company a rating of 2.5 stars for this trip but due to unavailability I am forced to give it 3 stars.

I recently went on a trip to Uttarakhand organized by Travel Trail Holidays, and I must say—it was absolutely amazing! Everything from the itinerary to the hotel arrangements and local support was handled with great care and professionalism. A special thanks to Pooja Sharma, who was incredibly helpful, polite, and always available for any questions or changes. She made sure our journey was smooth and enjoyable throughout. Her follow-ups, friendly nature, and attention to detail really made the difference. If you’re planning a trip to Uttarakhand or anywhere else, I highly recommend Travel Trail Holidays. Ask for Pooja Sharma—she’ll take great care of you!

Dev's 4 days trip to Dehradun

Had a good trip with family. Cab driver was good. He behaves really well throughout the trip. No complaints. Let's talk about some points which I want every travel company should share with their prospective client. 1) The hotel was under construction 2)Breakfast and Dinner options were very limited in comparison to buffet 3) No restaurant in hotel (only Room service) 4)Room cleanliness is a major point.(How we got to know iwas trying to find one of my thing I went on my knees to check under the bed and what I saw the floor was dirty. I immediately call the reception area and told them the floor area under the bed was messy and asked them to clean. 5) When an individual plan a trip the person who accompany is cab driver. There needs to be some sort of arrangement for drivers too. They are also human being. I mean No free dinner facility. No stay arrangements for the driver is something not acceptable. For future references I sincerely request the travel company to inform their prospective guest about the stay of the driver and the food options.

Meghana's 6 days trip to Dehradun

Hello Back2hodlidays, We recently had a trip to Mussoorie Uttrakhand with the help of Travel assistant shreya from Back2holidays. The planning and execution were done very well. We have covered almost all the places as per the plan only 2 were missed. Shreya was very helpful from the start of planning to trip till the end. She has provided all the required information what ever we have asked for.. Coming to the trip, had a really good time. Only the 1st hotel at Deharadun was not up to the mark either the rooms not the food was that great. The remaining 2 hotels for the stay were good. Stay and food in Mussoorie was nothing to be questionable, but the staff in Danaulti (The Groove Garden) were bit harsh and food was also not soo good. The driver travelled along with us was also good and no issues , but it would be really helpful if the driver allocated are locals or frequent visitors of that place, as our driver was not aware of all the places it was bit difficult for us to know the routes and were dependent on the google maps which delayed our jrny. Rest all was really good, had a great time throughout the trip. Thanks Shreya for all ur support during this period of jrny.

Ravindra's 6 days trip to Dehradun

Overall we enjoyed the tour and very professionally arranged. Good part- 1. Bus was good and driver very good. 2. Very accommodating to last minute changes 3. ⁠Hotels at Rishikesh and Jim Corbett were very good Bad part- No plan to put bad part in TT review. Just for your understanding. ⁠Traffic - it’s not something anybody could do anything but little help in planning activities could have been useful.
