The whole trip went like clockwork, with no problems at all. Sebastian, our Kochin guide was very knowledgeable, spoke good English and took us to some really interesting places. HOTELS In all the hotels, the staff were very friendly and keen to please and all our rooms were spacious and well-appointed. At the Kumakorum Park Resort we were disappointed that we couldn't use the swimming pool and there there was no area outside to sit. However, It was our driver, Vincent, who made our trip such a success. He was more of a guide for us than just a driver. He was polite, friendly, punctual, helpful, kind and very well-informed. As he was Keralan, he knew all the routes and places of interest along the way. He planned our last day for us from leaving the houseboat at 9am until we took our sleeper train at 8.25pm- lighthouse, 2 beaches, Coir Museum, Maharajah's Palace, place for our final evening meal. He quickly picked up on things that interested us and suggested visits that always pleased us. We would recommend Tra-eminent to others as you tailored the trip to fit our interests perfectly.

Took a one week trip through Kerala. TraEminent did an excellent job coordinating our itinerary . Prachi was very responsive setting up our itinerary and was a pleasure to work with . Our driver, Linesh, was the best. He was helpful throughout our entire journey, told us details about each location and was mindful as to how he drove. as we had young children traveling with us. Munnar and the tea plantations were the highlight of our trip and we still miss our houseboat in Allepey . Simply a wonderful and memorable trip. January, 2026.
Shivani and Nitin helped our group of 6 plan a 11 day tour of Kerala. The itinerary was well designed, with beautiful hotels and sightseeing destinations along the way. They were highly cooperative during the planning process and were in contact with us during our visit to ensure that our journey is comfortable. We will be recommending tra-eminent tours to all our relatives and definitely look forward to planning more holidays in the near future. January, 2026.

TraEminent son una agencia local muy profesional. Me organizó el viaje alguien muy preparado en inglés, pero también tienen profesionales en varios idiomas. Fuimos en pareja y se adecuaron a lo que pedimos, tanto hoteles, como ruta, como actividades extras. Tuvimos un conductor y distintos guías según el lugar donde estuvimos, todos en general muy correctos, atentos y profesionales. Recomendaría esta agencia. January, 2026.
I took an 8-day tour of Kerala with TraEminent, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. From the initial contact through the end of the trip, Sunny and the team were always available to answer questions and provided outstanding communication. They were very personable, approachable, and professional. The tour was extremely well organized and covered some of the most beautiful and interesting places in Kerala. A highlight for me was the Periyar Tiger Preserve, where I was able to see elephants and other wildlife in their natural environment—an unforgettable experience. Our driver was excellent, knowledgeable, and made the journey comfortable and enjoyable throughout. I highly recommend TraEminent to anyone planning a trip to Kerala. January, 2026.
Our tour was arranged by TraEminent India Tours. We flew from Mumbai to Madurai, Then by car to Rameshwaram, Kanyakumari, Kovalam, Alleppey boat house and to Cochin. Flew then to Goa and Mumbai. I was quite happy with the price for travel in a Toyota sedan and 3* accommodation. Very respectful and well English spoken driver with timeous pick up and drop off. Similar service in Mumbai as we were traveling from South Africa. No issues on internal flights or hotel bookings. All vouchers and flight tickets were issued on arrival. Many thanks to Traeminent Tours for a peaceful and enjoyable holiday. Your service is sincerely appreciated. November, 2025.
This is a great company who planned and organised my trip to the Golden Triangle with an additional 2 days in the trip was tailor made to my requirements and flight times. Excellent pre-engagement before the trip by email and WhatsApp. I was allocated a driver for the week called Sandeep who I would say is one of the best drivers in India. He got me safely and efficiently from place to place throughout the trip. All guides in each location were excellent and made the trip all the more memorable. Special mention to the guide and driver at Ranthambore fort who were good fun and encouraged me to run back to the jeep as a tiger was sighted nearby. Drove at speed and missed the tiger but got to see a leopard which was awesome. Also guide at Agra who got me there nice and early that I more or less had the Taj Mahal to myself! In conclusion this company deserves maximum rating for such a brilliant week from start to finish. Their price for the package was also competitive compared to other companies I will definitely use this company for my next trip to India. November, 2025.
TraEminent Tours helped us book a last-minute palace tour and addressed all of our concerns and questions very professionally and proactively. I would gladly book through them again! January, 2026.
My wife and I, from Mauritius, embarked on a tour of Kerala at the beginning of January this year. We were fortunate to choose the services of Tra Eminent India Tours. They are great professionals who know exactly how to craft an amazing experience. Their dedicated team—Prachi, Nitin, and driver Thomas—was simply excellent. Prachi, our travel specialist, was attentive and available from the initial booking right through to the end of our journey. Nitin, the operations manager, coordinated our trip seamlessly and was reachable around the clock. Our driver, Thomas, was a constant source of pleasant surprises—punctual, always available, and exceptionally kind and helpful. We were so delighted with TraEminent that we have already booked another tour with them for this coming March. The hotels they selected were all of very good standard, and honestly, their prices were very reasonable. If you are looking to enjoy a tour of India, I wholeheartedly recommend TraEminent India Tours. January, 2026.
