I recently had the misfortune of booking a trip (3N/4D Super Deluxe package of Rs 34,450 through Tripenure) through what can only be described as the most atrocious travel agent in existence. If there (Read More) is one thing I can warn you against, it is to never, under any circumstances, trust this agent with your travel plans. This individual is a menace to the industry, preying on innocent travellers. This entire experience was a never-ending saga of disappointment, frustration, and downright deceit. I implore you to stay as far away from this travel agent as humanly possible. Brace yourself for the countless ways they managed to ruin my trip.
To start, the travel agent failed to fulfill even the most basic obligations outlined in the itinerary. Sightseeing? Forget about it! The agent seemed to have absolutely no regard for the carefully planned attractions and activities I had looked forward to. Instead, I was left wandering aimlessly, trying to salvage what was left of my ruined trip. It was clear they had zero respect for my hard-earned money and the effort I put into outlining my expectations. Every aspect of the trip seemed to be a haphazard mess, leaving me in a constant state of confusion and anger.
To make matters even worse, they provided me with a homestay instead of the promised super deluxe accommodations for which I have paid for.
But hold on, there's more! The cab service arranged by this travel agent was an absolute disaster. The driver was consistently late, unprofessional, lacking in basic knowledge of the local area, and seemed to have a complete disregard for basic road safety. The vehicle was in terrible condition, with a nauseating stench. It was a constant battle to convince the driver to take me to the destinations specified in the itinerary, and the ones they did manage to find were often subpar and unimpressive.
But that's not all. As the trip neared its end, I mustered the courage to confront the agent about the disastrous experience. I explained that I would not be paying the remaining 30% of the total cost since they had utterly failed to provide any semblance of the promised services. What I received in return was a shocking display of aggression and threats.
This travel agent had the audacity to claim that I had to clear the remaining amount directly with the hotel and cab, as they conveniently pocketed the 70% advance payment I had made. It became abundantly clear that this individual had no intention of passing on the funds to the rightful recipients. It was a blatant act of theft and an outright breach of trust.
In conclusion, I urge you to stay as far away as possible from this travel agent. Their failure to provide services as per the agreed itinerary, put me in a homestay instead of the promised super deluxe accommodations, and offered a cab service that bordered on dangerous combined with their blatant theft of funds, is a clear indicator of their true nature. Do not fall victim to their deceitful practices. Your well-being, sanity, and hard-earned money are far too valuable to be subjected to such an abhorrent individual. Spare yourself the anguish and find a reputable, trustworthy travel agent instead. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
