    Srgunasekharan's 7 days trip to Dehradun

    Certain hotels are not in city it is in outskirts,and especially for senior citizens it should be in first floor or lift must work,in two places lift was not working,we were put to lot of inconvenience,in one hotel it was in first floor no lift,in danalauti hot water was not available,hot water must
    be available from morning 6 to 8 am,many places we are waiting for hot water .2.cab driver was good, vehicle was very old and tyres are very bad condition two times tyres failed on the way,Driver was efficient,3.service of travel agent was very good,it is very genuine feed back for all ends for senior citizens,If these issues are taken care majority of customers are prepared to pay more in many times,pl inform all your travel agents and they can increase their budget little bit but ultimately competitiveness,and they have to balance it in all sides Driver was good,travel agent was very cooperative

    Ranjanbera's 3 days trip to Dehradun

    We had an incredible trip from August 15th to 18th, 2024. Our trip guide Mrs. Uma Sharma and our driver, Sumit Kumar were exceptional in their planning, which was the highlight of the trip. Our tour was well-organized by both of them. We were only able to visit the most tourist spots in these three
    days for Sumit Kumar Bhai. I want to express my gratitude to Uma Sharma, madam, and specifically to Sumit Kumar.
