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.
