The good thing was I did not need to think about any booking. All were done befo (Read More)re so I only enjoyed the trip. Moreover, if anyone is coming with family like children or old parents this approach is good. Travel on ease staffs were prompt to reply in WhatsApp whenever I asked any query or anything. Moreover, the payment also was in installment which is good as you will have trust and slowly you can pay throughout the journey. Travel on ease staffs are kind enough to call everyday to ask if everything is going well or not.

One thing which has room for improvement is that I am not 100% happy with the dr (Read More)iver. I had to tell him to cover all the sight seeings otherwise he was ready to skip some of the places. But it is his job to cover all the places written in itenary. Moreover, he did not come to drop in railway station and told me to take an auto which I did.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Poonam from Travel on Ease, and I ca (Read More)n honestly say it was one of the best travel planning experiences I’ve ever had. From the first phone call to the final day of my trip, Poonam was incredibly attentive, professional, and organized. I had a clear idea of what I wanted for my trip, but I wasn’t sure how to put it all together. Poonam listened carefully to my preferences and crafted a personalized itinerary that perfectly matched what I was looking for. What really stood out to me was the level of detail that went into every part of the trip from to hotel accommodations. The trips they recommended were spectacular, with everything running on time and as planned. It made my travels so much more enjoyable and stress-free, knowing that I had a true expert guiding me. I also appreciated how they kept in mind my budget and offered solutions that felt both luxurious and affordable. If you want a hassle-free and unforgettable travel experience, Poonam at Travel on Ease is the person to go to. I’ll definitely be booking my next trip through them.
