Arunachal 2016 / Rajasthan 2015. Review on Makemytrip

In Oct 2015 we made this trip to Rajasthan where the driver was of zero help with regards to location and places though he was a local there. He seemed more like he was doing us a favour and seemed upset and annoyed if we didnt eat from the restaurants he suggested. This is one thing you should be vary of in Rajasthan. Most so called tour guides get commission from handicraft stores, restaurants etc which I am not totally against but it's not something you can enforce on tourists. It's our choice where we want to spend our money. Other than that the trip was uneventful.

In 2016, Arunachal tour, bookings were made via MMT. The travel agent was one Miss Baljeet Chauhan from their Mumbai office. The entire itinerary was provided to her by me. All she had to do was make the hotel and travel arrangements. Hotels in AP are very cheap and we had agreed upon what kind of room we wanted. We found on arrival there that on the first day we were served just bread, butter and tea for breakfast because the chef was absent. She could have just skipped the meal charges and we could have chosen what we wanted ourselves and paid for it then and there but no, she wanted a commission even out of that. The next day we were accommodated in some dingy room which then made us suspicious and on enquiring with the hotel manager and local travel agent we realised that she had forwarded a completely different room category to the local agents. I had to get her on the phone, give her an earful and demand that my next room category be upgraded as a compensation. After that if I ever tried contacting the MMT office, they had very cold responses to everything once they knew who the caller was. Never heard from that cheat of a female again. Not just that we were fleeced even with regards to our vehicle arrangements. Never have two intermediate travel agents. These MMT ppl give the contract to some local travel agent in the north east and they in turn make your arrangements. You might as well contact them directly. The only thing is when it's a travel agent in your city, you know whom to haul up if things go south, so be careful where and how you decide to pay.

My experience with MMT. Never booked with them again.
