Ganesh's 2 days trip to Dharamshala

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Travel on ease during our Corporate trip to Nainitaal and Jim Corbett. From the moment we started to the day we departed, everything was seamlessly organized and thoughtfully executed. One of the standout aspects was the dedicated WhatsApp group they created for our trip. It served as a real-time support system, with prompt responses and proactive guidance throughout. Each agent and driver we interacted with was not only professional but also incredibly caring and friendly, making us feel safe and well looked after. The itinerary was perfectly curated, and the facilities they booked were top-notch—comfortable, clean, and ideally located. Whether it was pickups by 40 seater Volvo for our group, local transfers, or sightseeing, everything ran like clockwork. We didn’t face a single issue during the entire 4-days journey, which is a testament to their meticulous planning and commitment to customer satisfaction. I wholeheartedly recommend Travel on ease to anyone looking to plan a stress-free, memorable vacation. Their attention to detail and personalized service truly enhanced our travel experience.

Dinessh's 8 days trip to Dharamshala

Positive 1. Calm Driver 2. Rooms are good but could have been better 3. On call support - friendly staff 4. Dinner and breakfast was good Could be better 1. The price was higher than other providers they gave better rooms as well 2. No honeymoon inclusions were made but charged 3. Rohtang pass was 500 online but it charged 2000+ 4. The schedule given was not followed properly 5. Rooms were very far from the city, better rooms were there at the same price 6. The driver deviated from the agenda and took us to a potato research farm in Shimla which we find useless 7. Payment at the hotel and to the driver was very new, rather than taken care earlier
