It was the most relaxing trip ever...Everything was taken care ofwell by the organizers...
However, few suggestions on local city tours
Phuket : They ( Indo Bangkok tour company)took us to an activity Center where you can go for go carting..After an over night journey and a tiring day, go carting is a bad idea...After the activity center, they took us to Handicrafts sales and jewellery show room... Both are expensive and not for Indian tourists...
Trip to Phi Phi Island was very good...The island has stunning views..However, was in the island only for two and half hours , and out of which one hour went for buffet lunch..Lunch was awesome..TryAmerican buffet and not the Indian one...Indian buffet has very few items.. The Hotel was very modern, spaciousand just a couple of minutes to the beach....The hotel staff was very friendly...
Pattaya: Veryentertaining city..lots of Non Vegfood joints and Massage parlours everywhere...Night life is very lively..
Bangkok: Again City tour was very disappointing...They just took us to couple of temples and showed the Kings palace from the road itlsef...Hardly an hour was given for the city tour and another one hour in a jewellery shop..Guide spent just 15 minutes with us and didn't even bother to tell us what's best and good to do in Bangkok...
The hotel that we stayed called Golden Beach hotel was horrible and a third class hotel. There are two towers in the hotel and one tower where we stayed was smelly and there was no place in the roomeven to keep our baggage.Only consolation was it's very close by to Indra Market...Indra Market Good place for window shopping..
Overall, the trip was very good and memorable...

Hi!
It was one of the worst organized trip that I have ever come across. Pathetically disappointing services. We were over promised and under delivered with everything. When we reached Thailand there was nobody to pick us up from Thailand. Thaliand being a country where nobody knows english it was v difficult to understand that travel marg has subletted its services to D Paul. How would I know I have to look out for a guy holding D Paul board? Atleast somebody should have informed me.I had paid for everything to be included in my package,after talking to a guideI get to learn that due tomiscommunication between D Paul and Travel Marg Iwould not be able to avail those services. Finally after alot of international calls being exchanged that was sorted out. But the dinner place was some 7 Kms away from where we were putting up and no commuting services were being provided to us. Whenwe had been told that dinner is includedwe assumedthat commution too would be arranged by you, assuming that you would understandthat Thaliand is a different country wherethere is a lot of communication problem, but it seems that you people yourself have no idea about Pattaya.The hotel that we were promised was 3 star what we got was way below standard. We were promised a guide but when we reached we were informed thatguide would only be made available on the 4th day ofour 5 day tour. R u kidding me???Fortunately for you guys, you had dropped our level of expectation so low in Pattaya that even an averageservice by any other tour provider seemed amazing to us in Bangkok.Sheeila, Mr Vinod and Mr Rakesh at least brought us to a level where all ourbitter feelings were neutralized. I knowthat you cant give me back my money but I request you to kindly pull off your services from such sectors where you cant deliver to cause less harm to people. Plspls eitherimprove your backend or pull away. I would recommend nobody and would rather suggest people never ever to travel by travel marg.

Dear Customercare, You arranged Kerala trip from November 27 to December 3rd. Thanks for the great job done by Sunil / Jhansi. On the whole it is excellent trip. Your arrangement is of great help when the cab driver was bothering us a lot. One suggestion is, in Thekkedy boat booking should be done online as it is difficult to run early in the morning. And, it is better to book in KTDC Hotel (Aranya Nivas, located in National Park)rather than outside hotel. It is better to stay in Kovalam and visit Kanyakumari as the hotels there are not good. A small tip is, your travel voucher may add suggestion to carry torch light / umbrella for convenience. I look forward to have more association. Please keep me posted of group travel plans either within India or abroad as I am senior citizen and would prefer to travel in group rather than alone. Thanks to Ramakrishna Raju garu who introduced Travelmarg to me. I can firmly say that I would contact Travelmarg for travel needs of myself and my contacts.

We had a great trip to Pattaya(Coral Island,Nong nooch Village)and Bangkok. Arragements were excellent and according to the plan. Nong nooch village was awesome especially for newly married couples. Elephant show was great attraction here. Trip to Coral Island was also great who can really enjoy water.Siam ocean water was good where we can find lots of species... Overall, we had a great and excellent trip with lots and lots of sweet memories. Thanks to Travelmarg for making this trip so wonderfull.

Hi
This is the second time I associated with Travel Marg, first one being to Thailand and 2nd was my honeymoon trip to Ooty. As expected customer service is excellent. The way we were received at our destination, our hotel etc were very well arranged. I would like mention Ms Vijaya from Hyderabad office who has been truly remarkable in terms of taking care of arrangements. She has been very polite and very professional. She even called us up after we reached there and enquired if everything was fine. I seldom received such customer care.
once again thank you guys!
I definitely would like to recommend travel marg to my friends for any of the trips. Close

Dear All, I had booked a tailor made package for my honeymoon through travelmarg.com. I was very nervous initially as to this was my first trip through travelmarg. However, I was surprised for the response and services i received from travelmarg. They were extremely quick and very friendly when answering the queries during the finalisation and modification of the travel plan. The package that i had booked was a 5 nights package consisting Wayanad (2 nights), Mysore & Srirangapattanam (1 night and Bangalore (2 nights) with a private car with pick up at Calicut Airport and drop at Bangalore Airportfor commencement and end of trip respectively. The driver provided for the cab was from Karnataka and hence he had good knowledge of the last two destinations ie Mysore & Srirangapattanam and Bangalore. The driver was very well mannered and presented himself appropriately. His driving skills were accordingly and was definitely not a rash driver which made our journey between the destinations all more pleasurable and enjoyable. The resort that i had asked them in Wayanad was Vythiri Resort after reading the reviews over the internet. The property is a 4-star property and iam pleased that i chose it as the first destination for my trip. Extremely well maintained property. The check-in and check-out were quick and the Operations Manager at the property takes into account your personal requisitions. The contents of the package provided over the internet were all taken care off by the staff. They would themself give a call and remind the travellers of the complimentary services and book timings for them. The buffet meals (all three meals which are included in the package) were well served and had plenty of variety. Thefoodserved included a good variety of north indian receipies to which i was surprised. Thestrong pointof this resort is definitely the location which isa good 5 km inside the forest from the main highway and the privacy for the rooms.I strongly recommend this hotel for honeymoon packers. Our next destination was Mysore & Srirangapattanam. The hotel Crystal Park Inn selected by Travelmarg was of a average quality. Though I paid the difference as I wanted to stay at a higher category room as i always prefer spacious rooms. Hence the room i chose was a King Suite and i paid the difference of an extra Rs. 2,500. But the room was very spacious and included an LCD and a balcony. The food served here is average. The strong point for this hotel are the live music band which is played the Bar. Another very strong point about this hotel is the location of this hotel which is not very far from the Mysore Palace.The fact that i didnt like about this hotel is the complimentary breakfast served at this hotel. It is very basic and does not include non-veg food. Also, there is not a great variety of food served in the breakfast to be so called a "BUFFET BREAKFAST". For the visit to Mysore Palace, i strongly advise to take a tour guide. While selecting the tour guide, kindly check the authorisation ofthe person to act as guide from the Mysore Palace Authority. Also verify the rates through the valid rate card provided by the authorities which is available with the guide. The rates are very nominal which is Rs. 350 for upto 4 persons. The guided tour will take approximately 45-50 minutes for the entire tour of the palace. But, the duration of the palace tour should be checked with the guide before hiring him. As I had read from the internet, i had asound idea thatthe guided tour of the entire Mysore Palace indeed takes approximately 50 minutes. The visit to this palace without a tour guide is of no use as it is a veryessential tool while exploring the historical sites and buildings. The interior of the palace contains very minute details of the facts which could not be discovered without the accompany of the tour guide. The palace is indeed beautiful from both the exterior and the interior portions. There is a government handicraft outlet just outside thepalace which is very reasonable forpurchasing the souvenirs. In the evening wevisited the Brindavan Gardens which well maintained.The garden is very beautiful but there was nothing special about it as we could not sit and relax there as it was very crowded being the holiday season. Though the musical fountain organised in the evening is a good experience. The package offered by travelmarg included a trip to the Mysore Zoo but i had requested it to be modified for a visit to Srirangapattanam instead as I am keen to explore the historical sites. Srirangapattanam is a historical place for its association with the Tipu Sultan. Srirangapattanam lies enroute to Bangalore from Mysore. Hence, we had requested to the cab driver for it to be organised the next morning enroute to Bangalore to which he highly obliged. A visit to the Dariya Daulat Bagh (Summer Palace of Tipu Sultan) is a must. The paintings on the wall are mervellous and depict the battle fields of the battles fought by the Tiger of Mysore against the British. The palace is well maintained by the ASI (Archeological Survey of India). The garden is very beautiful. Again hiring of the tour guide is must as the palace is now treated as museum as well anddisplays facts and findings of the Tipu Sultan era. The real stories related to the paintings and Tipu Sultan could only be explored with the help of a good and sound knowledge possesing guide with which we were really lucky as we were accompanied by a guide who possesed a good knowledge about the facts of Srirangapattanam as a whole. The tomb of Tipu is not very far from the palace and is hardly a 5 minutes drive away. We could not find a guide here who would help us in identifying the graves of the family members of the ruler. However, the tombs of the ruler, his father and mother are inside the main building and and the people next to the shrine help you in giving some minor details of the tomb. Our last destination was Bangalore and we had opted only for one day tour with travelmarg. The other was utilised by me forleasure and some shopping. The tour included the visit to the Vidhan Soudha, a beautiful building. However, for security reasons we were not allowed to halt and take snaps of such a beautiful building which is well understood. In the evening, we visited the Bangalore Palace and the Lal Bagh Gardens. The Bangalore Palace is now turned into a museum and is a well maintained property and the audio tour guide is of a great help while exploring the palace. The visit to the Lal Bagh is a waste of time. There are no such good attractions inside the gardens as such to admire except for the lake is which is situated in a lonely corner of the garden. The Infantry Hotel arranged by travelmarg for our stay in Bangalore was right in the heart of the city and on a walkable distance from the shopping area. The hotel was a good hotel. Although the room given to us by the reception was a smoking room. On our complaint they did not change our room but provided us with the room freshener spray which was not a good gesture on their behalf. The complimentary buffet breakfast offered by hotel had a good variety of veg as well as non-veg food and was indeed delicious. All in all, the kind of services and the arrangements made by travelmarg were indeed excellent and i never felt sorry for choosing travelmarg as organizer for my honeymoon trip. I would strongly prefer travelmarg for the users of this review and to contact Vijaya from their office who has been very kind and responsive for our arrangements, querries and conducting such a lovely and memorable holiday for us.
