We booked 3 Days five star hotel The leaf and it was worth every penny. Food and (Read More) their services was really good. Dakshina was professional and dedicated towards his work. For The Leaf and Dakshina behaviour and professionalism i can give a full give star rating.
We booked a fully AC private houseboat but the AC wasn't working properly even a (Read More)fter multiple complains as accorsi to boat staff it was due to low power generated by boat generator. Food at boat was also not that good and tasty. Our cab driver was good but i felt he used to take us to only those places where he could get commision such as chocolate factory or chips factory where price was too much compared to market rate. For boat i can give at max 3 stars and for driver at max 4 stars.

Tryst worthy agency👏🏻👏🏻. They gave the good price and hotels booked are also (Read More) very good. The arrangements are good. The boathouse is fantastic and the food in the boathouse is amazing. For local travel they provided a tempo traveller for 7 people which is comfortable and the driver is also very interactive and giving the suggestions. Special mention to Julie, who was in touch throughout.
Food could have been included in the package. As we couldn’t find good place.
