Satya Sagar

Hyderabad

Satya's 5 days trip to Solan

Overall good experince with TT, Agents were responsive, Driver was knowledgeable on the areas we visited and hotels were as promised. Good that driver suggested extra places that were not there in the package (with extra money ofcourse but worth the money and effort) like Sissu, Koksar, otherwise t

rip would have been not so great. As feedback, I expect these things from TT or Agent. Also, payment to driver wasn't made on time which caused bit delay to reach to airport (calls had to be made etc.). Thanks to Sourabh, Neha, Laitha, Kewal and Rajesh(driver). You helped for a memorable trip. Appreciated.
