It was an excellent trip managed brilliantly by dear Nayal and the Era group. No words can probably express the enjoyment and experience of exploring new destinations. Thanks for everything — we are looking forward to the next exciting tour.
AVM Rajiv GandotraIndia · Jul 2023
A memorable and mesmerising part of my life. The itinerary included all the aspects and major places of the cities we visited, and the sumptuous Indian food was the icing on the cake. Thanks a lot to the whole Era team — we are looking forward to the next trip.
Mr. Surendra Mohan SharmaIndia · Jul 2023
The tour was planned well and organised meticulously. My wife always mentions that she had thirteen people to help her, not one! Kudos to the whole team — we hope to see such a tour again soon.

FAQ

Planning a trip to India — common questions

A government-approved tour operator is one recognised by the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, which vets operators for infrastructure, staff and service standards. Era Tours & Travels (India) Pvt. Ltd. holds this approval (Reg. No. 5.TT.II (188)/2000 – ITO) and has since 2000, so you are booking with a vetted, accountable inbound operator.

Yes, India is generally safe for tourists who take normal travel precautions. As a Delhi-based operator running tours since 1997, we handle airport transfers, vetted drivers and guides, hand-picked hotels and 24/7 on-tour support, which is exactly why most first-time visitors travel with a trusted local operator rather than independently.

Every Era tour is private and tailor-made. You travel with your own car, driver and guides, and we shape the itinerary, hotels and pace around your interests, dates and budget — we do not run fixed-departure group coach tours.

Tours are quoted individually because everything is customised — the cost depends on your travel dates, hotel category (3, 4 or 5 star), group size and itinerary. Send us your details on WhatsApp or by email and we will reply with a tailor-made quote, usually the same day.

Start by sending us an enquiry via WhatsApp (+91-98718-06712) or email (era@eratours.in) with your dates, nationality, group size and interests. We reply with a tailor-made itinerary and quote; once you are happy, we confirm the booking and handle every arrangement on the ground.
