Victor's 5 days trip to Kerala

GIVING 3 STARS AS TRAVEL TRIANGLE IS NOT SUBMITTING REVIEW WITH RATINGS LESS THAN 3 STARS. MY ACTUAL RATING WAS 2 STARS ONLY We booked our travel through Namaskaram Travels for 4 Nights and 5 Days. Want to rate this trip 2* due to following reasons:- 1. We have specifically asked for Innova having continuous seats in the middle as we were 6 adults and 1 child. That is 7+1 seater Innova. But we were provided 6+1 Innova seater. Due to this, we faced extreme level of INCONVENIENCE and UNCOMFORT during our whole journey. On the very first day, we complained about this during pickup from airport. The SPOC Neha from Namaskaram Travels told us that they will provide requested car next day and we just have to adjust with this car for one day. But that 7+1 seater car was never provided during our whole trip despite of multiple reminders. Everytime we were told that they will provide a new car but that never happened and we had to cramp up in that car uncomfortably. Please be aware that 60-70% of your trip will be spent in the car for transit. 2. We specifically asked for King size beds in resort and during booking, we were told that all hotels are booked with King size beds. But all the hotels were booked with Queen size beds 3. The Patio hotel booked in Thekkady was not good. The hotel was like a dormitory and rooms were very small. Normal toiletries like dental kit, etc. which are normally provided in every good hotel was not available. They were chargeable. 4. Food was not adequate and was in less quantity in houseboat Pros: Cab driver Swaminathan as a person was good and was trying his best for the travel Overall, won't recommend from my side

Rizwana's 6 days trip to Kerala

I wanted to express my gratitude for Namskaram Tourism, the lovely trip you planned for us a weeks ago. First of all, the hotels and locations chosen were excellent. Our driver, Freneesh, drove calmly and safely. He grows on us every day beyond just a driver, and we were glad he got to explore all the sites we went.

Ankitacs's 7 days trip to Kerala

The whole of the trip organized by Mamta madam was just very good as I said her before that I will be traveling with my kids, so she accordingly arranged everything so that there is no Hassel around. The hotels suggested by her were also good and the best part was whenever I had any query, she was always there to help out and solve the query. Good job. Good quotation. The trip will be remembered forever.
