Experience Coimbatore Ooty Weekend Getaways Tour Package for 4 Days from Coimbatore

not so professionl lacks exposure

Our group of 4 senior citizen ladies made our 8 night-9 day travel plans finally with India Holiday Travels (IHT), Coimbatore. Through Hello Travel, I received travel offers for our Tamil Nadu Temple tour from 4 tour operators. Besides these 4 we also sought the costs of such a tour from Chennai-based Tamil Nadu Tourism and a Bombay-based tour operator, Nivalink. Nivalink and India Holiday Travels came close and were reasonable. The others were too costly. Of the latter 2, we chose the Coimbatore-based India Holiday Travels (IHT) as we thought they would be more co-ordinated with the happenings in the southern Indian region. Our pick up was at Chennai airport on Day 1 and drop was at Tiruvanantapuram Airport on Day 9. The car was Innova, very comfortable with plenty leg room and luggage space; driver too was well mannered, experienced, and a careful driver, no complaints against him or the tourist car, which was cleaned daily and kept ready for the daily travel every day. Driver was very mindful of his duties. The problem area was the hotels. At the time of booking (nearly 6 different hotels), we were given a list of website links to the hotels so that, sitting in Mumbai, we could view the hotel rooms and the attendant conveniences. We were also given a physical copy of our booked list of hotels and our itinerary prior to starting on our journey. But at 3 places on our itinerary, IHT changed our hotels to something "similar" to what our booking list claimed. Where-ever the hotels were changed to "similar" ones, they were substandard, and there was no way of any refunds because the entire trip was pre-paid prior to starting! For this reason, I have marked the rating as AVERAGE.
