Hello,
I am writing a complaint for the unpleasant experiences I and my wife had with travelogue during my recent honeymoon tour to kerala booked via make my trip.
To start with we were unable to cover Tata Tea Museum in Munnar and Periyar Lake in Thekkady for which I need a compensation.
In Munnar on the day of our visit to Tata Tea Museum, the driver was constantly advising us to take the Jeep Safari or visit Wondervalley or taking the Hot Air Ballon view of Munnar, even after informing him that it is out of our budget and our itenary he kept repeating it 3-4 times during our travel. At a point I felt as if he is acting as a middlemen for them just to save his kms and avoid the viewing points mentioned in mmt itenary. We still asked him to carry on as per the itenary, on which he started acting as if he did not know where Tata Tea Museum was, also raising question on Google Map not showing correct route. He turned his vehicle midway and when i asked him why he turned, at which he insisted us to cover the mattupaty lake and dam first and promised to cover the Tata Tea Museum in the evening. In afternoon we reached National Park and completed that tour by 4 pm. After that I asked him to take us to Tata Tea Museum on which he said that the place gets closed by 4 pm. At this time I felt cheated by him.
NOTE - On our way back to our hotel we also met with accident where one of the jeep banged into our car.Though we were safe the whole incident made the rest of our travel very unpleasant as we could not trust such a reckless and hot head driver.
On start of day 3, the driver told us that the Periyar lake is closed in this month so going there is useless, so again he insisted us to take Jeep Safari in Thekkady. When we denied that, he took us to Spice Garden where we spent an 45 mind as we were not happy with change in plans. So day 3 we were only able to cover Elephant Ride as I avoided to take Kallari show.
On Day 4, we kept quite as we did not wanted to talk to driver due to the unpleasant experiences we had. We checked out early morning at 8 am and only if the driver would have followed the Google Map correctly we would have reached our destination way before the schedule time.
Our Day 5, while driving towards the airport one of the local car while taking a U-turn from upcoming signal came in front o[censored]s. The driver applied panic break and then aggressively started chasing him. Looking at his expression I ignored myself talking to him and calming him down as we were minutes away from airport. But the whole experience was very unpleasant and frightening for us.
I am not sure if we ever would consider make my trip or travelogue in future. I also insist a compensation for the destinations we missed out.
