Golden Triangle Tour – Excellent service. Thanks to TraEminent tour we had a great first visit in India! We booked this tour at the last minute, but everything went very well from start to finish! We had an amazing tour across the Golden Triangle, through Ranthambore Park and it was simply amazing!! We had a great driver, always on time, we always had an excellent local guide, a person dedicated only to us to be here 24/7 for every question and problem and the manager of the agency visited us personally to make sure everything was going well. They picked us up at the airport and booked all the accommodation for us. The price was simply unbeatable and the service excellent!! We can only recommend it! We are a family with two children, so sometimes we had to change the agreed itinerary, but everything went great. They helped us even when we were sick, our local guide went with us to the pharmacy and helped us buy the necessary pills. I left my wallet at the Mumbai airport and the manager did his best to help me to get it back. I appreciate it!! Lovely experience

We explored the major Buddhist pilgrimage sites including Lumbini, Bodh Gaya, Sarnath, Vaishali, Kushinagar, Rajgir, Nalanda, Sravasti and Tirupathi in Chennai, and finally the Taj Mahal and other monuments in Agra. We were impressed about our 11-days travel package in India and Nepal at the itinerary planning, budget-friendly cost, private car services with friendly and knowledgeable drivers, tour guide services, choice of 4-star hotel bookings, air/railway bookings and the promptly responded TraEminent India Tours staff.
