Great Experience. The tour started from Lucknow with airport pick-up. The first stop of the tour was the Kumbh Mela where we stayed for 2 days. In Prayag, we had snan at the sangam, pilgrimage of the temples, witnessed the sangam aarati and toured the cultural shows and exhibition.  The 2nd leg of the tour was Varanasi where we stayed for 2 days. We had snan in Ganga, visited the ghats, had cruise in the evening, taking in the mesmerizing view of the ghats after watching spiritually inspiring ganga aarathi. We also performed pilgrimage of Kashi Vishwanath Temple and other temples, visited BHU. The last leg of the tour was Ayodhya where we had darshan at the Ram Temple and Hanuman Temple, in addition to a walk around Ayodhya. We had some time for a quick road tour of Lucknow on our way back before being dropped off at the airport. The whole tour was very well organised. The itinerary was well planned, with details looked into carefully and communicated to us, for any feedback on our wishes. The car driver, tour guides and the hotels we were accommodated in and the itinerary left us fully satisfied and happy. I am thankful to all who were involved in doing a splendid job in providing us a wonderful experience. Special thanks to Ms Shivani Sunny Madaan, who was overall in charge of the whole tour planning and arrangement. Date of Experience: March 2019

Made memories in India. We had a great time in India and part of the reason why is due to our great guides in Amritsar and Varanasi. Ayodhya was a bit of an issue as the guide was not easy to understand and didn’t show us the sites we wanted on Diwali night. Also, the room in our hotel in Ayodhya had wood lice, so we had be moved to another room. Other than that, our trip and drivers were great. We have already recommended TraEminent to our friends.

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
