What Our Travellers Say

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.

We recently completed a tour to Kashmir, Amritsar, Shimla, and Manali organised by Traeminent, and it was truly a fantastic experience from start to finish. The itinerary was very well planned, allowing us to comfortably explore each destination without feeling rushed. Kashmir was absolutely breathtaking — from the serene Dal Lake to the stunning landscapes of Gulmarg. The houseboat stay was a highlight. Amritsar added a spiritual dimension to the trip, with a seamless visit to the Golden Temple and Wagah Border. Shimla and Manali were equally memorable, offering beautiful mountain views, enjoyable local experiences, and well-coordinated sightseeing. The toy train ride in Shimla and the overall hill station experience were particularly special. The logistics throughout the trip were handled efficiently, transport was comfortable, hotels were well chosen, and the support from the Traeminent team was consistent and dependable. We always felt well taken care of. Overall, it was a smooth, enjoyable, and memorable journey. I would highly recommend Traeminent to anyone looking for a well-organised and enriching travel experience.

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.

Rajasthan Tour. I would absolutely recommend TraEminent India Tours to anyone seeking a memorable and exceptional experience. From start to finish, their professionalism and warmth stood out. The guides and drivers arrived promptly, making sure everything went smoothly. Our guides were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly helpful and patient, making the entire journey both informative and enjoyable.
