What Our Travellers Say

View All Reviews

Our tour was arranged by TraEminent India Tours. We flew from Mumbai to Madurai, Then by car to Rameshwaram, Kanyakumari, Kovalam, Alleppey boat house and to Cochin. Flew then to Goa and Mumbai. I was quite happy with the price for travel in a Toyota sedan and 3* accommodation. Very respectful and well English spoken driver with timeous pick up and drop off. Similar service in Mumbai as we were traveling from South Africa. No issues on internal flights or hotel bookings. All vouchers and flight tickets were issued on arrival. Many thanks to Traeminent Tours for a peaceful and enjoyable holiday. Your service is sincerely appreciated. November, 2025.

We landed in Delhi on Oct 28, travelled to Haridwar/ Rishikesh, Agra, Jaipur, Mumbai, Shirdi, Cochin, Munnar, Tirupati, Chennai, Puttarpathi and Bengaluru - 30 days by domestic planes and cars. We’re truly grateful for the seamless arrangements and thoughtful touches that made this trip unforgettable. Credit goes to TraEminent Travel Tours. A heartfelt thank you to Shivani Sharma and her team for crafting such a memorable experience and to the amazing drivers who ensured our travels were not only safe but also comfortable and enjoyable. Their professionalism, knowledge, and warm hospitality added an extra layer of charm to our adventure. From the bustling bazaars to serene temples, every moment was enriched by the expert planning and the impeccable service provided by TraEminent. Here’s to many more journeys ahead! Ramesh, the driver in Bangalore was excellent. So was Daniel, Rajpal, Balaji and Praveen. They were really great. Thank you to Shivani and her husband. Thank you to Mukesh. November 2024

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. Thanks to Shivani and her team. January, 2024.

8 days Tamil Nadu package holiday. I have done this tour with Tra_eminrnt _India _Tours in February 2018. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, the tour company I used the took care of everything so well, I didn't have to worry about anything, intact I couldn't find any faults whatsoever. I will recommend anyone planning to do any trip not only in India but also beyond. I am sure you will be well looked after. I am certainly using them for my next trip out of India.  I wish them all the success in future. Their arrangements and customer care are best to none.. Date of Experience: March, 2019

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.
