Great day seeing Taj Mahal and Agra Fort

ShawChengDavid_C, May 2024

Taj Mahal is worth all the trouble for the journey, especially for foreign visitors. The guide Jitu is very good, punctual in meeting up and great photographer too

Wonderful day in Agra with Sohail

Annette_L, Mar 2024

We had a wonderful tour of the sights of Agra. Our guide, Sohail, was very friendly and helpful. The Taj Mahal at sunrise was magical and we also loved visiting the ethical craft workshops for inlaid marble and hand-knotted carpets.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Awesome!

Michelle_C, Mar 2024

5-star! STRONGLY RECOMMENDED! I had a truly mazing experience with Jitu, the tour guide, and Guddu, our driver. Super knowledgeable guide: Jitu gave me outstanding introductions about the historic sites we visited. He also answered all my questions: facts about the sites, the Mughal empire, culture and history of the city of Agra and beyond. Not to mention he knows all the good spots for photos and is a talented photographer. He took really good shots on my phone. I am IMPRESSED. We visited an Inlaid art work shop. The gentleman there also gave me a very detailed interactive introduction and live demonstration of this precious art style. I had so much fun learning and watching these art works. You would be so amazed too! Excellent planning and logistics: I was picked up at 5:30 to catch Taj Mahal at sunrise. Guddu was on time. I felt safe in the car. Of all his drop-offs and pick-ups, he always parked on the right side of the roads, and I never had to cross the street! This doesn’t always happen with other drivers/tour guides! After breakfast in the hotel, we resumed the tour and hit traffic. They were able to quickly customize the order of the itinerary to avoid traffic. I mentioned I needed to catch a train, and they made sure I did, while enjoying everything this tour has to offer! Extra miles to be helpful: Last but not least, I want to thank Jitu for going the extra miles to be helpful. I had to catch the train with heavy luggages. Not only did they drop me off at the train station, Jitu also helped with my suitcases. He even helped me navigate the train station to find my train and even my seat! I couldn’t have done any of those myself, and would have felt so helpless otherwise. Shopping considerations: I was taken to stores for shopping. One of them was the Inlaid store where I received an amazing intro about the art work. The others were Agra specialties, like petha desserts, leather, and jewelry. If they also incorporated more introduction of these Agra specialties, it would have been more fun! I did feel the pressure to purchase in all places from the store owners, but I could say no and walk away if I really didn’t want it. I think this is standard and didn’t affect my great experience. Just be very firm about your stance. TLDR: Thank you for this amazing tour in Agra with outstanding introductions! The entire experience was wonderful. Highly recommended!

Pretty good tour of Agra.

Timothy_C, Jan 2024

There was too much fog for the sunrise, so we skipped that part and started a little later in the day. Went to the castle and mini-Taj first while the fog was still thick and then hit Taj Mahal as the fog started to lift. Well organized transportation that made getting around pretty easy and saved time. There was a strange vendor interaction where thy brought us to some photographers that were a little pushy. I think that was a bit of a waste and over priced, so be ware. The tour itself was great however, and the guide was very good. We didn't follow the itinerary and also didn't do the sunset portion of the advertised itinerary. All and all pretty good, but didn't like the photographer portion and that the guide didn't really follow the advertised itinerary. The marble and rug portions are kind of par for these tours. We'd already bought rugs and seen them made in Delhi, so a little redundant, but the marble demo and sales floor was pretty cool.

A perfect Agra experience

jacqueline_h, Jan 2024

Sameer was a fabulous guide and made our Agra experience u forgettable. He was prompt, knowledgable, and has a wicked sense of humor!! A perfect balance of information and laughs. If you have limited time in Agra I would highly recommend Sameer by name!

Jitu - The Perfect Tour Guide

T_S, Jan 2024

Jitu was the perfect tour guide. He gave us great and interesting details during our Agra tour. He was very courteous and made us feel comfortable. We had chosen the sunrise time to see Taj starting at 530 AM. He was pro-active in recommending that we start later as due to fog, we would not be able see much in the early hours. Overall it was a very nice and comfortable experience. I’d highly recommend Jitu for any tour.

A great way to visit Agra in one day

Federico_B, Dec 2023

Great experience to visit Agra and all its marvelous monuments, from Taj Mahal to the 'unknown' Red Fort and Baby Taj! The organization was great, the driver and the tour guide picked me up at the fixed time (I suggest you to text to the organization the day before asking the guide phone number and sharing the right pick up position. Anyway this advice is recommended for every Indian travelling agency). After the visit to Taj Mahal, I've been dropped off back to the hotel to have breakfast and then picked up again at about two hours later to continue the tour. Jitu is a great guide, he is knowledgeable and complete in explanation. He is also interested in photography so don't hesitate to ask him for taking you a picture or any other advice about that. Special thanks to the driver for his patience and driving attention in such 'long' day.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Fantastic Agra experience

Laura_M, Dec 2023

Very good tour with Jitu. He had very good knowledge of Agra and the different monuments and also took amazing photographs of our family! Driver Sanjay also very good and taken to a nice place for lunch. Would recommend tour.

Disappointed with guide with little knowledge or not willing/able to share

Paul_B, Nov 2023

I wouldn't recommend this tour group. The initial guide explained very little and we asked for a replacement. The replacement guide was good but they take you to carpet and ceramics making factories and the situation turns very unpleasant when you don't buy anything from them - even when you tell the guide from the beginning you have no intention of making a purchase.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Paul, we have sent you full refund to you and thanks for letting us be part of your travel plans, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry to hear that it wasn’t the ideal experience you had hoped for. We're sorry to hear that you had an unpleasant experience. This behavior is unacceptable, and we apologize for any inconvenience or discomfort it may have caused. We have spoken with our Guide and are taking steps to ensure that this doesn't happen again. The first Tour Guide was a total miss on our part. At our guide meeting, we discussed this, thanks to your comment. Every tour will always have the best tour guide. Despite this, we are glad to hear you enjoyed our second guide’s stories. (We hire only 1 in 10 guide applicants because we’re looking for the absolute best storytellers in the city.) We hope you decide to book a tour with us again. Your input is crucial to us and we're grateful for the opportunity to improve.

Wonderful tour!

Taj Day Tour

Brent_R, Aug 2023

Amazing day!! Was great to be able to select the pickup time from the hotel and leave exactly when I wanted. Driver and guide were both very helpful and friendly, they were flexible and adjusted the day structure based on exactly what I was wanting to do (shorter/longer stay at some locations, shopping for gifts etc). Highly recommend, was the highlight of my trip to India.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thanks so much for your feedback ! It makes our day hearing about how much our customers love the great service they’ve received from our team. We have passed on your review to our team and look forward to seeing you again

Tour the Taj with Sameer, you won't regret it !

Piotr_W, Jul 2023

This was an incredible experience. Taj Mahal was marvelous and the monuments were stunning. This tour was made special for us by our guide Sameer who was outstanding. He picked us up early in the morning allowing us to be one of the first people at the Taj. He knew exactly where to go and where to take the best pictures. He was incredibly helpful and very knowledgeable. Presented all of the facts with care and just the right amount of details. He let us have free time at different parts of the tour to wonder, while he kept an watchful eye from the side which was perfect. We saw everything per the itinary and the ac car took us from point to point which made it great with the heat. Lastly, Sameer went out of his way to help us with anything we needed from purchasing souvenirs to money exchange, keeping the hagglers at distance and more. Great tour, fantastic guide and unforgettable experience!!! Highly recommend it!

Flexible and fun

Steve, Feb 2020

Rajesh was an amazing driver, very friendly and helpful. Abdul was an awesome tour guide, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and made our entire trip enjoyable. The fact that both were willing to deviate from the original plan made my visit the most enjoyable tour I've had in a very long time.

Excellent Tour

Hector_E, Jun 2019

We had a very nice tour with our tour guide Sameer and our driver Gurmeet. They were always on time and super professional. Gurmeet picked us up from Delhi, drove to Agra and the around town. Every time we got back in the car, he had cold water bottles waiting for us. Our guide Sameer was very knowledgeable and patient since I really enjoy taking my time taking pics and exploring. We definitely recommend this tour. Special thanks for Sameer and Gurmeet for making everything great.

Response from Host, Jun 2019

Thank you so much for your kind words. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us—and we agree, Sameer and Gurmeet are truly a gem to have on our team! We count ourselves luckyfor customers like you. We look forward to working with you again in the future!

This tour was a fantastic way to...

James W, Feb 2018

This tour was a fantastic way to visit the major sights of Agra, however the greatest part was the guide, an exceptional kind and humble man, Jitu. His knowledge of Agras history was incredible and his hospitality and professionalism 2nd to none. I would definitely recommend him and this tour!

I flew from Goa to New Delhi so I...

Catherine_w, Jan 2018

I flew from Goa to New Delhi so I would have a chance to visit the Taj Mahal. Now I know I should have flown into Agra, toured the Taj Mahal and then had a driver take me to New Delhi. Mr Gurmeet was at my Delhi hotel at 6am to drive me to Agra. The fog was very thick for about 3 of the 4 hour drive. He is an excellent driver and did a good job making sure I felt comfortable and safe. His car was stocked with water and treats for me. I had my hotel pack me a breakfast too, so I was well taken care of. We met the guide in Agra and went straight to the Taj Mahal. I had a nice time strolling the grounds and viewing the bird life. There are parakeets in the trees. The monument is very beautiful and photogenic. After, we went to a marble art shop and then a carpet store. I bought a small marble bowl and 2 carpets. it was a fun experience and I wanted souvenirs. There is free shipping on the marble art over 10 kgs. That was good to know. The tour ended with a typical Indian lunch at an outdoor cafe. A nice short break where you are left on your own. I was ready to go home then and made it back to my Delhi hotel in record time. You can customise this tour to what ever you want to do. Very nice people involved.

Great guide, who shepherded us...

Great guide, who shepherded us expertly through lines and knew all the best places for photos.

Douglas C, Oct 2017

Samir was brilliant. The cab driver was late for our pickup, but Samir assured us correctly that we would enter the Taj Mahal before sunrise and we did. His knowledge is off the chart. Best trip so far!

We did not know what to expect about...

MUHAMMADYAFITH_A, Sep 2017

We did not know what to expect about the tour, but since we touched down Delhi, all was taken care of as our driver picked us up and the journey to Agra started. Our tour guide explained everything very well, answered our questions and knew the places to get nice pictures. It was like a story and we were mesmerised. The driver was also very helpful and every time we got into the car, a cold bottle of water was ready. The place they brought us for lunch was very good too. All in all, we can say that the experience of the Taj Mahal with the guiding of the tour was a magical experience.

The company providing the tour is...

Sebastien C, Aug 2017

The company providing the tour is apparently a young company. Unfortunately I don't have much advice to give them since everything was perfect. Excellent communication before the tour and the day before just to confirm everything, via WhatsApp. The tour guide was really nice and very knowledgeable. The driver also really friendly and relax with his driving style. The car was nice and in an excellent condition. They are very flexible and can tailor the schedule according to your wishes. They also have the option to drive you back and forth from Delhi. In the morning of the tour, I decided to go back to Delhi airport by car in the same afternoon. They had no problem arranging it. The experience was excellent. That tour allows you to truly enjoy the place and what you see. Highly recommended.
