I booked a trip from Bangalore to Tirupathi. As per there package pickup should be at 8.05 pm from J P nagar but the pickup was at 8.45 pm. Reached at Marathahalli at 9.20 pm. The travel time start from 9 pm but we started at 10.50 pm Not in the bus we booked “202 SHEEGRA DARSHANAM “. They arranged one low quality bus and said after 20 km they going to shift us to Manish Travel bus. So we started at 10.50 pm but they changed the bus at 1.00 AM. 20 km took 2 hrs? finally in the Manish Travel bus. ”Bus number 8400”, thought now everything would be smooth but the worst had just started. We reached at hotel at 3.40 Am, during this 5 hr journey they did not give a single water bottle and not even stop the bus for 10 minute refreshment. In the middle of the journey some ladies had to stop the bus forcefully and went outside for loo in the dark open highway.
So finally we reached at hotel. Room was ok but there was no hot water in the room. Breakfast was good. Then they took us from Manish Travel bus to bus stand and gave us 300/- Rs for Balaji Ticket. In govt Bus we reached at place where people need to get down if they have to shave their head at 6.40 Am. The tour guide “son of the bitch” does not know how to behave with ladies. He was pushing the passenger from the bus who have to shave their head and pushed two ladies also in the same way.Tour guide also went down and bus continued and depart us at the main Balaji complex stand at 7. But at that place no one was there to coordinate us. Some passenger asked from someone and left, to join in a long que .We with some passenger waited for the tour guide. Finally he came and gave us shop number 78 where we kept our mobile and shoes. Charges for keeping mobile 10 Rs each and shoes 2 Rs. Now the time was 7.30 Am, Tour guide said just enter in the middle of line and if someone stops then say that you went to toilet. Such a shame at temple need to do this. But no other option so with all other passenger we did the same and joined the line in the middle. At 1.30 we had Lord Balaji darshan that was only relief.We came back at shop 78 took our mobile and shoes.No tour guide was there, he came back at 2.30 Pm till that time the Govt. Bus left, again he shouted on one passenger. Finally he arranged one other Govt. bus. When I asked where we are going now. He said we are going back to hotel for lunch. I asked him about the darshan of Goddess Alamelu Padmavathi amma at Mangapuram, he said its too late now so we are going back to hotel for lunch. It was so disappointed.If its depend on the availability of time so it was there mistake. They started late and did not coordinate. We reached back to hotel at 4.00 Pm.Somehow lunch was good.
We started journey back to Bangalore at 5.00 Pm. Bus stop for refreshment for 10 minutes at Greenline Restaurant. Finally Reached Bangalore at 10.00 Pm. At the time of booking our dropping point was east end but they dropped us at BTM petrol pump. I know it just 2 km before but there commitment was for east end not btm.
It was my last journey with this worst travel agency. In future if they offer a free package also still I will never going to prefer this travel agency.I always travelled with Green line Travel .they are so punctual, professional and tour guide was all time helpful.
While booking they said not to book from red bus and booked from only https://manishbus.com/t_tickets/search_results_hreq
So that we can not add negative review. This happen with my friend also. Sincere advice Never travel with Manish Travel.
