My wife and I, from Mauritius, embarked on a tour of Kerala at the beginning of January this year. We were fortunate to choose the services of Tra Eminent India Tours. They are great professionals who know exactly how to craft an amazing experience. Their dedicated team—Prachi, Nitin, and driver Thomas—was simply excellent. Prachi, our travel specialist, was attentive and available from the initial booking right through to the end of our journey. Nitin, the operations manager, coordinated our trip seamlessly and was reachable around the clock. Our driver, Thomas, was a constant source of pleasant surprises—punctual, always available, and exceptionally kind and helpful. We were so delighted with TraEminent that we have already booked another tour with them for this coming March. The hotels they selected were all of very good standard, and honestly, their prices were very reasonable. If you are looking to enjoy a tour of India, I wholeheartedly recommend TraEminent India Tours. January, 2026.
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.

Amazing West and North Indian Tour - 2020. My wife and myself are Fiji born Australian citizens and we are glad to share our splendid West and North Indian tour, being organized by Tra-eminent tour company, and in particular the expert planning by Mrs Shivani Sharma. While I had enjoyed Shivani’s expert planning ability previously when she organized our south Indian tour, I was amazed at how we were taken care of, right from the time we set our foot on Indian soil to the time we left India. Having set our perimeters for the tour, Shivani organized our tour, provided the best of tour guides wherever they were needed, and ensured that our drivers were the best the Indian Tourism industry could provide. Her ability and willingness to be in touch with us provided additional comfort in a place that was alien to us. I hereby strongly recommend the services of Tra-eminent to anyone who wishes to visit the great and diverse country of India Date of Experience: January, 2020
Thank you, Shivani for helping me to arrange for a short sweet trip. Though short, we managed to enjoy the boat-house cruise and interesting sights in Cochin. A big thank you for getting me such good rates and deal at Marriott Kochi. World-class service. I highly recommend others get in touch with Shivani for their future holidays to India. Very professional and response to our queries are almost immediate. Well done Shivani and team. Date of Experience: September 2019
