Took a one week trip through Kerala. TraEminent did an excellent job coordinating our itinerary . Prachi was very responsive setting up our itinerary and was a pleasure to work with . Our driver, Linesh, was the best. He was helpful throughout our entire journey, told us details about each location and was mindful as to how he drove. as we had young children traveling with us. Munnar and the tea plantations were the highlight of our trip and we still miss our houseboat in Allepey . Simply a wonderful and memorable trip. January, 2026.

Amazing Golden Triangle tour – 6 days The whole experience of my 6 day Golden Triangle tour, from start to finish, was amazing. The driver took me everywhere during the 6 days and he was superb. Professional, friendly and courteous. Each of the guides in the 3 cities were also professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Overall, I had the most fantastic trip and highly recommend TraEminent India Tours. October, 2024.

Exceptional service and the perfect holiday. We had an amazing family tour seeing all the sights in the golden circle. Jugmohan was exceptional in arranging the travel plans from taxis to hotels and amazing tours. We got to see so much and had some private tours and experiences which we will treasure for a lifetime. Seeing my daughter’s eyes light up was a real highlight. There’s nothing better than seeing things through your children’s eyes. Seeing her so excited was a true blessing and we are so grateful we chose TraEminent tours. A huge thank you for making it all so easy and we thoroughly enjoyed Delhi Agra and Jaipur. We will definitely be returning to see more of Rajasthan and we highly recommend using TraEminent tours, and we will be using them again too! Thank you April, 2024.

We traveled for 20 days in India (Mumbai – Tamil Nadu – Kerala – return to Mumbai) with a private car and driver. Overall, the trip was well organized, the hotels were good and in line with our preferences, and we consider the total cost fair. The vehicle provided was a new, clean SUV, and our driver, Mr. Bijou, was outstanding: polite, discreet, punctual, always smiling, and a true professional. The local guides were also excellent, with strong knowledge of the country’s history and culture, good English skills, and great storytelling ability (in Munnar: Mr. Sujith; in Tanjavur: Mr. Thamilarassan; in Mumbai: Mr. Semeel; in Pondicherry: Mr. Sivaganesh; in Mahabalipuram: Mr. Arun; and in Madurai: Mr. Kesavan). However, we did encounter some serious issues. During a domestic flight with Indigo, a cancellation occurred due to a strike by the flight crew. The agency’s ground staff member assigned to us, Mr. Mukesh, did not answer our calls and only sent generic messages such as “don’t worry, you are in good hands, give me some time,” without providing any real assistance. Eventually, we contacted Ms. Shivani and Mr. Sunny, who acted promptly and did their best to help us by booking a new flight for the following day, unfortunately at our own expense. Additionally, in Allepey, where we had booked a one-night stay on a houseboat with one bedroom, we were informed on arrival that one of us would have to sleep on a mattress on the floor instead of having three proper beds as promised. We requested either a change of houseboat or a transfer to a hotel in Cochin. Although the agency acknowledged that this was their mistake, they asked us to cover the additional cost. As a result, almost the entire afternoon was wasted exchanging messages with the agency, without a satisfactory resolution. In conclusion, I would describe the agency as good and generally reliable, with solid organization and quality partners. However, our overall experience was negatively affected by inadequate support from specific ground staff and the handling of certain issues, which could and should have been managed more professionally. December, 2025.

Family best tour ever Goa and Singapore. We all reached our homes safely and happy. I hope this message finds you well. I just wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for all the effort put into organizing my recent trip to Goa & Singapore. Everything was just perfectly planned. The attention to detail, professionalism, and dedication to ensuring we had a memorable experience did not go unnoticed. I especially appreciate how the last-minute changes were handled so seamlessly. Thanks to the  hard work, I were able to enjoy our trip without any stress, and we couldn’t have done it without your expertise. We’ll be surely TraEminent to friends and family, and I look forward to travelling with you again soon for my next adventure! Thanks once again for everything. January, 2025.
