Worst travel company ever
My experience with Capture A Trip to Bhutan
I booked a 7-day Bhutan trip with Capture A Trip, but we effectively got only around 3 days to actually explore. A large part of the remaining trip was spent travelling, waiting, or dealing with poor planning.
Our itinerary was changed one day prior to the trip and one of our final days involved almost 11 hours of travel. Right in the beginning we also lost one entire day during the immigration process, largely sitting at the immigration office and waiting followed by another long journey.
We were promised a luxury bus, but what we received barely had enough comfortable seating for group of 19 people + 1 trip leader + 2 Bhutani guides with no music, no Ac. It was nowhere close to a decent comfortable bus.
The hotels were one of the biggest disappointments. We were told to expect decent 3-star accommodation, but stays felt nowhere close to that standard. We were staying at 1star properties. We even had towels with visible stains in our room. No toiletries provided. We were also told during the trip that some properties had not been physically checked by the Capture A Trip team beforehand. If that’s accurate, that’s extremely concerning when you’re sending paying customers to another country. The food was not good and it was repetitive as well.
Several places from the itinerary were either missed or rushed, so a 7-day Bhutan package ultimately felt like roughly 3 days of actual sightseeing.
But the biggest issue was the lack of accountability. This wasn’t just about our trip leader. From our interactions involving Sachin, Anshikha, Rishabh, Purnima and the wider Capture A Trip team, there seemed to be a serious communication and execution gap. Whenever we raised problems in the WhatsApp group, instead of concrete solutions, we repeatedly felt we were being asked to “adjust.”
I’ve travelled enough to understand that delays happen but when they do, communication and problem-solving are what you’re paying a travel company for.
Capture A Trip does great marketing. Unfortunately, based on my personal experience of their Bhutan trip, the execution didn’t match what was marketed to us.
Good marketing gets customers to book. Good service, accountability and execution make them come back.
After this experience, I personally wouldn’t travel with Capture A Trip again or recommend this trip to my friends and fellow creators.
As a content creator, I’ll also be sharing my experience on Instagram because I cannot recommend Capture A Trip after this experience. I’ll be tagging the relevant Shark Tank investors as well not to attack anyone, but because a company with this level of visibility and investment needs to focus on execution, accountability and customer experience, not just great marketing. They have no idea what we all have been through. All 19 travellers of us were frustrated from day 1 to 7.
