Vacations Madcap should be your Travel Partner for life. This was my first alone trip with my son and we went to Singapore. It was his second international Trip (his first international trip was also (Read More)done by Vacations Madcap). So, since we were travelling out of the country, I had to be extra sure with everything. I reached out to Radhika & Saurabh from the Vacations Madcap. They made our trip extremely hassle free. Everything from our tickets to visas to hotel booking, transfers & breakfast was taken care of. The property selected was absolutely safe. They tailor made the trip keeping in mind our interests. There was nothing that was left out in their itinerary. We covered all the tourist places in Singapore. I had given them a budget and they made sure everything was well within our budget. It was the most memorable holiday. Thank you Radhika, Saurabh and your stunning team for a great holiday.

We booked our Turkey trip with Vacation MadCap and sadly this has been one of the worst experiences with a travel partner. I have travelled to various destinations with over 10 agency partners and thi (Read More)s has been the most chaotic and troublesome vacation experience. DeThe hotels booked were not of our preference and I want to highlight Cappadocia hotel experience, where the hotel was under renovation and the travel partner booked us that hotel even after requesting other better option. The hotel in Cappadocia didn’t have a restaurant and the there was no way we could we could lunch or dinner nearby. We had to travel to main city market which was 8-9kms away from the hotel. Imagine being in this state with 2 infants with you on a trip. The quotation of activities shared by the partner were way to expensive. Please see any example below: Hot air balloon experience in Cappadocia: Agent Price: ₹21,500 Klook Price: ₹13,500 Now you tell me, from where will you book an activity for 6 adults. Next example: The travel partners charged us ₹4350 for sunrise ATV tour. This tour lasted for 30 minutes only. Klook offers you a 1.5hr sunrise tour at ₹3000. Not only the price issue, when we faced certain issues during the trip, the travel partner stopped respnding to our messages and told us to talk to the local respresentative. He refused to acknowledge or even provide basic assistance to us. I never write such long reviews. But since this experience was so so bad, I had to share it online so that others don’t face similar within situation with them. I hope they don’t do something like this to others and spoil their experience. Adios!

Vacations Madcap was recommended to us and I see why!! We used them for 3 separate needs in India (airport pick up, one day of being guided in Delhi, and a golden triangle tour). Each one was made so (Read More)much easier and more enjoyable thanks to their services. Our driver for the golden triangle in particular was fantastic - Sanjay Tiwari. Our experience would have been so different if he hadn't been at the helm. His driving was smooth, and he was so concerned about making sure our comfort and safety were of primary importance. I cannot recommend him enough!! If/when I return to India I will be requesting him specifically! Thanks again, Vacations Madcap
