Testimonials

Each day, I think about where I was just a month ago on that magical and, to me, exotic trip to India — so masterfully organized by you.

When I approached you, I knew only that I wanted to go to Indore for the wedding and to see the Taj Mahal; the rest of the itinerary, a blank slate. You sussed out my interests and Rob’s to craft an excellent itinerary. We were both thoroughly impressed with the knowledgeable, efficient on-the-ground team from Trans India. They were also great problem-solvers — often aided by you.

For example, when I arrived and discovered that my credit card had been compromised and we couldn’t find an ATM that would take my debit card, our guide found a bank where we could get cash. And when the Russians bumped us out of the prepaid dinner, which we had been looking forward to, I had resigned myself to having dinner in a hotel restaurant that we had already eaten in. But you dismissed that thought and secured us reservations in a restaurant that proved to be our dining highlight!

It was so reassuring to know that you were just a text message away with an answer to any question I had.

If you need a haircut, you go to a barber. If you need your appendix cut, you go to your surgeon. The point is, you go to the right expert to get the right service. I followed my own advice and sought the services of Usha from Rao Travel. Usha is very compassionate, thorough, and meets us where we are. She always takes time to chat to ensure what we would like out of the trip and makes it all possible at a budget you set! Go to Usha for a relaxing, experiential travel service, you will only spend time making memories — not stressing!
