My 70th Birthday and my Spiritual Experience in the land of the Gods. Fantastic tour arrangements done by Jugmohan and his team. He arranged our trip itinerary for us. We arrived at Delhi airport were greeted with garlands by their representative who took us to our hotel all arranged by TraEminent Tours India. We traveled to Agra Rajasthan Punjab back to Delhi and then we traveled to Kerala and Bangalore. Right from the start tour guides taxi service with driver were exemplary. It was a wow factor for us thanks to Jugmohan and Mukesh who were there to help us out whenever there was a problem with anything and it dealt with amicably. We finished our tour in Delhi where we rested and went on shopping spree what a wonderful experience. Looking forward to booking our next trip with TraEminent India Tour next year. Thank you so much for organising this trip of life time for us Mukesh and Jugmohan. May, 2024.
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.
Rajasthan and Goa tour. TraEminent were excellent organisers. Our trip was planned to the last detail and went off pretty smoothly. We had good hotels, a great driver in Avtar Singh, and geneally good guides in each city. We enjoyed Udaipur and Goa the most, but appreciated the architectural marvels of the Golden Triangle too. After the stress (not least on the driver) of driving 700 and more kilometers, a few quiet days in Goa were welcomed. We would certainly recommend TraEminent to any group planning a trip to India. February, 2024.

We have just returned from a trip to Arangabad, Hampi and Badami. I found TraEminent on Trustpilot and whatsapped them and got an immediate reply from Sunny, who listened to what we wanted to do then passed us to his colleague Prachi to organise our trip. Prachi sent suggestions of different hotels and also suggested we added Badami to our itinery, which was an excellent suggestion. She organised hotels, drivers, guides and internal flights. Our hotel vouchers and internal flight bar codes were sent to us via email. We paid for the trip in 3 installments, the final one being on the day we arrivec in India. Our contact once the trip was organised and whilst we were in India was Mukesh. Prachi also created a group Whatsapp for herself, Mukesh, my husband and myself. As the holiday neared the war in Iran started and up until the day we travelled we were not sure we would be able to travel and Mukesh was excellent in starting to secure refunds and vouchers. But fortunately on the day we were able to travel, although due to late setting off and extra travel time we missed our connection from Delhi to Aurangabad and had to travel early the next morning. I contacted Mukesh who rearranged the pickup from the airport. Mukesk kept in contact with us daily for the duration of the trip and informed us of each drivers and car details the day before the pick up. We had 2 drivers, Aleem for Aurangabad and Ram for Hampi and Badami, both were excellent and the cars were comfortable. Our guides were excellent and very knowledgeable. The hotels were exactley what we wanted and the intetnal flights with Indigo were ideal time wise. We had the best 10 day tour. Thank you TraEminent for you help, patience and communication. We would definately recommend using TraEminent and would use them again. Thank you Prachi and Mukesh, you were great. March, 2026.
