Feedback
With Trinetra Tours I discovered a great tour operator. Trinetra Tours provided us a great introduction to Indian culture and history as well as the beauty of Rajasthan. We are really thankful to Trinetra Tours for offering us an outstanding trip to India.


Well organized and enjoyable trip, it was an amazing experience. What I loved the most was the interaction with local people of Rajasthan. Sightseeing tour to Taj Mahal was very special, the monuments took me back to a bygone era. Other heritage sites were equally impressive. I would like to thank tour leader Vaibhav for helping me all through the trip.


Our trip to India trip was very well planned. Our tour guide Naresh was extremely informative and organized, he always gave us enough space to do some exploring on our own. We were always given every chance to experience everything that was on offer. Thanks Trinetra for a wonderful trip.
