veena world tours in november from mumbai

Delightful tour😊

Contrary to the reviews about foreign tours as posted by others, our group tour of Senior Citizens to Kerala was very good covering Alleppey, Periyar, Munnar and Cochin. The group consisting of people from various cities was adjusting and enthusiastic and the tour Managers also kept up the tempo of enthusiasm alive with games and various activities. Hotels were good and though we also experienced the monsoon, it had its own beauty which made for scenic views and waterfalls! If one ventures out to travel one should be ready to see the maximum places and the tour managers saw to that even when there were few venturing out in the rains, places of the itinerary were covered. It was an enjoyable experience with Veena World.

EUTY250923/ TURKY TOUR Dated _ 25th Sep.to 5th Oct. 2023 This was our first and last trip with VEENA WORLD. We went Turkey for 11 days tour. Our experience was horrible . 1. Itinerary was not well planned. Too much of traveling, less time for enjoyment. Sight seeing was touch and go. 2.Upon arrival, there was an issue as two guests went missing due to mismanagement by our tour manager. We lost a lot of time and energy, after a long travel, on the very first day due to some miscommunications That very day, there was a lot of sight-seeing indicated to us earlier. second day, during a walking tour, we had to cover an excessive distance to reach restaurants for meals. This was particularly challenging for a group with many senior citizen . Additionally, the restaurants selected were inconveniently located, often requiring the climbing of multiple flights of stairs, with one having five floors. Food was not good. 3. For no reason We were taken to some shops by local guide( intentions suspect) which made the walking uphill and double the distance. The local guide was also rude because only few bought things from the shop suggested by him. 4. Most of the hotel accommodation was sub-par on all parameters viz room requisites, hygiene, lift facility, location, breakfast, etc. 5. The quality of food provided at most places was sub standard and poor. Most of the group members were very open to having local food but the food that was provided was pretty poor compared to the local food which was available in various restaurants. 6. At Pamukkale, other tour groups were being driven in vans to the white clouds point, but , for want of saving a meagre amount of money, we were denied that. 7. The show at Istanbul was totally below standard and so was the food served. Best thing of this trip is , A WONDERFUL SET OF PEOPLE, who became so close as friends… THAT MADE THIS TRIP SO ENJOYABLE AND MEMORABLE. Lastly My only suggestion is the one must AVOID travelling by VEENA WORLD at all cost! Trash it! DATE 15TH October 2023

EUTY250923/ TURKY TOUR Having done several tours with Veena World in the past, one expected , if not better, atleast the same standard during this tour, too. But sadly our experience was otherwise. 1. We lost a lot of time and energy, after a long travel, on the very first day due to some mis communication, when one couple got lost at the airport. 2. That very day, there was a lot of sight-seeing and indicated to us earlier, about 2-3 kms of walking, which we were prepared for. But we were taken to some shops ( intentions suspect) which made the walking uphill and double the distance. When asked for help by us, being above 73 years… in the form of return by some vehicles, we were denied the convenience. Where as many tours, other than Veena World, are taking their people on local trams, which in itself is an experience. The local guide was also rude because only a limited few bought things from the shop suggested by him. 3. All the goodies, earlier given by Veena World are no longer being given. Let me make it clear, it is NOT the things that matter, not for all us who are in a position to spend a major package, but just a pleasant feeling of being ‘welcome’ and ‘thought of’. 4. Some of the hotels were not at all up to the mark. 5. The food was bad on some days. 6. My room-mate and friend took ill, not once did the tour manager care to ask about her health or if she needed any help/ medicines. We have had the most caring and considerate managers on our earlier trips. 7. At Pamukkale, other tour groups were being driven in vans to the white clouds point, but , for want of saving a meagre amount of money, we were denied that. 8. The show at Istanbul was totally below standard and so was the food served. FOR ALL OF US, A WONDERFUL SET OF PEOPLE, who became so close as friends… the redeeming factor of this trip, was a SAVING GRACE. IT IS THE MEMBERS OF THIS TOUR THAT MADE THIS TRIP SO ENJOYABLE AND MEMORABLE.

I went for a north east 3 sisters tour covering Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh - in May 2023. There are several issues where I had a bad experience: Water issues at Tawang Hotel - During the 2 nights stay at Tawang, our hotel had a major water crisis. As soon as we checked in we were told that we would get running water in half an hour, but that did not happen. We had running water for only half an hour that entire night. The tour managers should have been proactive in taking care of this issue and making sure that all rooms have sufficient water at least for the basic use of washrooms. But there also buckets of water were provided only after we called / sent messages. / followed up - the bucket was sent after almost an hour ! Water is an absolutely bare necessity, and I don't see why some arrangement like a tanker / extra buckets could not be made. Tickets not purchased for Tawang War Memorial sound and light show. / Made to sit on the floor. - When we entered the Amphitheatre, we found other travel groups had proper tickets and were seated in the comfortable chairs to watch the show. They were part of the group just like ours ! We were made to sit on the stairs in the cold - while our tour manager was comfortably seated on the chair behind throughout the show - for almost 45 minutes !!! Is Veena World trying to save on the money which members have paid for services ? Or is it not bothered about services offered ?? Dry snack not provided - There were days when we had long journeys in the morning, and our lunch would be nearly 6-7 hours after breakfast. People feel hungry and if the tour company is not providing anything, we were purchasing snacks on the way. It is extremely ridiculous that the packet of dry snacks (again something we have paid for !!) was provided on Day 8 ! Bus halt for tour members' personal reasons - It was absolutely ridiculous that all buses had to wait for more than half an hour at a place on Day 3 just because some members wanted to buy liquor for personal consumption !!! Is this policy acceptable to Veena World ?? Frankly, with the huge amount of money that has been taken for this tour, I felt cheated. And I expect a refund for the hotel stay for these 2 days as the basic facilities were not provided for - but I did not get any response from the terrible company ! The attitude of the staff is pathetic !!! This was certainly my last trip with Veena World. If they continue this way, they will shut down business soon.

Absolutely NOT recommended Very Cavalier attitude, no knowledge of important places , steep pricing and margins added to local tour operators Pathetic customer service. No recommendations and multiple trips just in cabs and buses . Pls do not use services at any cost

Pathetic, mis managed, rude staff, disgusting attitude. Just summing it up they don't give a damn about your hard earned money. Please don't waste it behind them.

CCPA orders probe into Veena World’s cancelled tours during pandemic

The central consumer protection authority (ccpa) has ordered an investigation into leading travel company veena world’s cancellation of packaged tours during the pandemic.

The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has ordered an investigation into leading travel company Veena World’s cancellation of packaged tours during the pandemic. The CCPA has held that prima facie it appeared that Veena World had indulged in “unfair trade practice” as per the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MARCH 18: Dawn breaks over The Statue of Liberty as Manhattan and the nation struggles to contain the number of coronavirus cases on March 18, 2020 in New York City. Across the city businesses, schools and places of work have been shutting down leading to empty streets and quiet neighborhoods. New York City mayor Bill de Blasio has threatened to call for a 'shelter-in-place' order as Manhattan continues to see a rise in cases of the virus. World wide, 200,000 people have now contracted COVID-19. Spencer Platt/Getty Images/AFP == FOR NEWSPAPERS, INTERNET, TELCOS & TELEVISION USE ONLY == (AFP)

The order dated September 26 came on a complaint filed by consumer rights body Mumbai Grahak Panchayat (MGP) last year against Veena Patil Hospitality Pvt Ltd which operates under the brand name Veena World. It has asked the Mumbai District Collector to probe within the next one month the number of cancelled domestic and international tours, the amounts the passengers paid and were refunded, the exact number of FTVs issued, the expenditure by Veena World to airlines, hotel bookings, visa charges etc.

During the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 when air travel in India and abroad was suspended, travel companies, airlines and hotels had to cancel their services, and many companies had opted for instruments like credit shells, future travel or tour vouchers, assuring their patrons that they could use the services at a later period instead of opting for a cash refund.

The MGP had carried out an online survey of consumers which showed that 1,821 passengers had complained against Veena World pertaining to non-refund of ₹ 28.53 crore. The survey also showed that more than half of the consumers were senior citizens who said that it was not feasible for them to utilize the credit voucher unilaterally offered by the company for travel in the near future.

The MGP complaint alleged that Veena World had refused to refund the amounts paid by the consumers towards their packaged tours, and instead it offered a “non-refundable, and non-encashable Future Tour Voucher (FTV)” after deducting substantial amounts under heads such as cancellation charges or tour transfer charges.

The MGP contended that this was in violation of the right to full refund to the consumers as per the October, 2021 Supreme Court judgment in Pravasi Legal Cell vs Union of India case. It alleged that the company had violated the right to refund to an entire class of consumers, compelled consumers to accept credit shells/FTV against their will, wrongfully deducted exorbitant charges, and asked them to travel despite travel and health guidelines issued by the government.

Based on the complaint, the CCPA issued a show cause notice on March 17, 2021. In its response, the company challenged the jurisdiction of the Delhi-based CCPA on the ground that as per its terms and conditions, any claims were subject to jurisdictions of courts in Mumbai only. It then filed a writ petition in the Bombay High Court, but the court disposed it off in July 2022, asking Veena World to respond to the show cause notice, and directed CCPA to give a ruling on merits.

In August 2022, the company filed its response to the notice contending that the list of consumers on whose behalf the MGP had filed the complaint did not constitute a “class” of consumers as per the law. Stating that it had refunded an amount of ₹ 43 crore to consumers who opted for refunds, it contended that out of 100 per cent of cancelled tours due to Covid-19 pandemic, 88 per cent had agreed to rescheduling through FTV, 7 per cent had opted for refunds, 4.95 per cent had approached various consumer forums in their individual capacities, and 0.05 per cent were misled by consumer organisations which gave them false promises and hopes.

However, CCPA Chief Commissioner Nidhi Khare, and Commissioner Anupam Misra said since 1,821 consumers were involved, it represented a class of consumers and it had the requisite powers as the central authority. “It is further emphasized that the opposite party had failed to substantiate with proof as to how many consumers/travellers/guests of theirs were affected due to the cancellation of tours due to Covid-19,” they observed, calling for an investigation by the Collector.

When contacted, Veena Patil, Managing Director, Veena World, said the company had received a copy of the order, and its legal department was looking into it. “We have nothing to hide and we will comply with the requirements. The Covid-19 pandemic was a difficult time not just for our company, but the entire world. There is a lot of difference in the scenario when this complaint was filed and today, and the cost of travel abroad has gone up manifold since then. Thousands of our customers have used the FTVs and saved on their expenses. They were happy that there were no extra charges. We have not done anything wrong, and we are satisfied that our customers have continued to use our services,” she said.
