Hello Mani
I am crazy Traveller 2017 I visited Europe with Kesri but I was disappointed.
This year I want to travel USA with a low budget.Can u suggest me a good operator?
Hi Mr. Karthik. Thank you, for this article. I will appreciate if you can give me an idea for the international tour operators for senior citizens. They will be traveling all by themselves and with a knee problem. They live in a small town Asansol, WB. So agencies from Kolkata will be helpful for them. Thank you, very much for your time!
I don’t have experience with them Sobhan. If you want me to check with folks in Mumbai I can.
Hair Mani Karthik,I am SOBHAN from Kochi, Kerala.I am planning an abroad family tour with my friend on April this year to Singapore… Malaysia…. Langkawi.I am searching for a balanced package for 8 or 9 days.Can I know how is this tour operator DESIRE HOLIDAYS PVT LTD MUMBAI.If you know please give me your valuable suggestions.Thanks….
Do you have a recommendation Lalita?
I would say, its a high time we should give a chance to emerging Tour Operators. Since they are new in this market, they need to make their name in the market and hence they would surely ensure that even the teeny weeny requests and demands of the clients are met.
Happy Traveling!
Lalita
Is that the only way you know to find out what is good and not? This is not a certification, but a suggested list.
Did you travelled with all of them? How can your certify that they are best travel company? May be misguiding …
Hi Mani,
we are planning a trip to the Canadian Rockies, Alaska & Naiagara falls. Would you be able to suggest any good tour operators that cover these & we are vegetarians. Thanks
Prathima
It.s a Marathi establishment and anyone out side it will be like fish out of water.I had this experience and believe me I felt like an untouchable.Horrible . The language of conversation is also Marathi.
Hai Mani
we plan for a short trip to europe limited countries which is the best tour operator and we are frombangalore
I am totally unhappy with Thomas Cook, on trip to Andamans they put me in terrible hotel at port Blair , a room with just a bed ( called it 3 star), did not give time for lunch on one segment, being diabetic that became a serious concern
Did not take us to many tourist attractions though was mentioned in their list, Claimed these were COMPLEMENTARY AND HENCE WE SHOULD COVER IT ON OUT OWN. This was mentioned in the offer letter. Did not give the iteneary till the last .
In short package was grossly mis- sold. Did not expect that from a number one tour operater. Could not even connect to them on phone after the money was paid.
Where from are you planning to board George?
Hi Mani,
