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.
