What Our Travellers Say

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.

Amazing trustworthy team. Our 10 days travel to India were perfectly organised: Jaipur-Agra-Haridwar-Rishikesh-Goa-Delhi, each place with the best tourist guides (which are very good photographers also), best life experience ever! We had a very good close contact with Miss Shivani before-during and after the holidays! All in all: you need to try it yourself. June, 2023.

My son wanted to visit India and I contacted Tra-Eminent India Tours to book a holiday for us. We absolutely enjoyed the Golden Triangle tour with Haridwar and Rishikesh along with birth place of Lord Krishna- Mathura/Vrindavan. The elephant ride at Amer Fort was simply amazing. We also visited the Taj Mahal in Agra. The last days of the trip were spent in Haridwar and Rishikesh. We witnessed the Ganga Aarti and felt the holy vibes flowing in. We also enjoyed the selection of hotels in each city. Thank you everyone at Tra-Eminent for making it special for me and my family. I highly recommend this travel agency to anyone who is looking forward for a trip to India soon. Date of Experience: January 2019

South India Tour. We just returned from India last week. It was a mixed kind of experience. Our trip started out well then took a U-turn due to pot holes and making the mistake of drinking filter water at the Marriott. Regardless of how tired you are, at all time get Mineral water! This is one mistake I’ll never make again. Because of this our trip wasn’t as amazing as it would have been. However, our driver named Naufel was very attentive. I got prescription my a doctor and Naufel picked all the medications we needed. He worked with our timing. Most of our time was spent in the hotel room instead of being out and about. Thanks to TraEminent India tour organizing this trip my family and I. Big shout out to Jugmohan for his dedication, timely response and all of his assistance. November, 2023.

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.
