5.00We had 4 4-night 5 days holiday trip with Indian Panorama(Cholon Tours) Trichy from 26 to 30th November 2023 for 25 guests. It was a wonderful experience with Cholon Tours. Well-arranged trips with hotel facilities. We experienced a personal touch in all arrangements by Shri Savaravan, Coordinator right from planning to finality. Further, we had an excellent coach managed by driver Shri Raja. He was whole-heartedly co-operateive and gave suggestions very often to make us more comfortable. He was punctual and very polite in dealing with everybody in the troupe. It was a memorable tour. We appreciate the efforts & pains taken by Shri Saravanan & Raja. We highly recommend others to have a trip with Cholon and experience the difference.
