Kanchipuram Tour Package Reviews

Parminder • 4 months ago

The trip was organized pretty well. Gurukumar provided a detailed itinerary for (Read More)the whole trip, making sure we did not miss any of the important attractions apart from the ones we had shortlisted. The time slot allotted to each attraction was justified as it needed that much time to explore the attraction. Hotels provided were quite decent and met our expectations. Vehicle provided was better than what was promised to us.
The only negative thing of the trip was the driver. He was not very communicativ (Read More)e - nor did he share any background about the place we are going to visit. Through out the duration of the trip he hardly spoke a few sentences. So you can imagine traveling in a car with a person who is non communicative. So this was a big let down - it seemed we were travelling in a driverless vehicle. Another let down in this trip was - most of the places had all information, boards and instructions in Tamil language. Being from non-Tamil background, it felt we were illiterate trying to figure out things on our own. This is something Tamil Nadu Tourist Deptt needs to pay attention to if they want to attract more visitors from outside Tamil Nadu.

We booked a trip to India with Ms. Pallavi from Indeschen Travel and she was awesome. She handled our entire trip from transportation to hotel. She was also alw (Read More)ays reachable to handle questions and deal with travel logistics. It was such a blessing in our vacation planning! We had originally planned on going somewhere else and I’m so thankful that Ms. Pallavi was able to step in to help us create the best vacation possible. And her staff (Mr. Rohit and Mr. Mahesh) are wonderful to work with. Always on top of the travel requirements, bookings and all the sundry details that were communicated to us in a timely manner. She made all the preparation for our travel needs easy and we felt reassured that all was taken care of. Indeshen is the best corporate travel agent I have ever worked with. From a customer experience perspective, her service is superlative. She is the most responsive agent I have ever worked with and she makes every transaction 100% stress free. Thank you Ms. Pallavi and team.
