- markeP8153MW0 contributionsExceptional tour experienceBooked a trip with Viator to visit Agra, the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort..we were given Rocky as our tour guide for the duration..Rocky’s warm and friendly personality placed us at ease and made the whole experience extra special, especially as the trip was to celebrate a 50th birthday..I can only say that both Rocky and Sonu (our driver) made the whole experience extra special, of which for us has made our birthday celebrations unforgettable.Written December 8, 2024

- nirangag0 contributionsMemorable AgraVisit was great. Taj Mahal is outstanding when we viewed it at sunset from the viewing deck, however unfortunately by morning the next day there was a lot of fog. Agra Fort - the sheer size of it is mesmerizing. Tour Guide Rocky is excellent. Explains all patiently and most of all, knows all the great food stops :). The Rossogulla Sweet shop he took us too was excellent!Written November 14, 2024
- What D0 contributionsAmazing Experience, Extremely AdjustableIt was a great tour!! It was super adjustable, we booked the hotels wrong and they changed everything just for us. The local guides were very knowledgeable and nice. All of them took us to special places according to what we're interested in! Food was wonderful. Driver Madan was very skilled & safe, and we felt safe on the road. All in all great experience everything was so well organised!Written October 19, 2024
- LeighAnn_S1230 contributionsThe BEST Day!Today was one of my all-time favorite travel experiences. We were picked up at our hotel in Delhi at 2:30 a.m. by our driver before making the 3-hour journey to Agra. Omkar was so professional and had texted the night before to send his picture so we would know who to expect. He drove with excellence and we arrived right on time to be in place before sunrise. When we arrived in Agra, we met our tour guide, Vijay Chauhan. He was with us from that point on to guide us every step of the way. Our tour pass allowed us to skip the lines and go straight in. We spent three hours at the Taj Mahal and learned so much about the history and architecture. It was obvious that Vijay loves what he does and takes great pride in this incredible monument. We could not have been happier. We were allowed as much time as we wanted to take pictures and simply sit and take it all in. Can not recommend him highly enough. After the TM, we went to a five-star hotel for a lovely breakfast buffet. Then a couple of stops to local artisans to see how they do their trades. There was an opportunity then to purchase if we wished, but it was not a high-pressure sales pitch. Then to the Agra Fort, where we were once again treated to a wealth of knowledge and insight by Vijay. One of my favorite parts is that he knows all of the cool ways to take photos and the best places to get them. By 12:15 we had seen so many things and our day was complete. We were back in Delhi at our hotel by 3:30 p.m. I was a little bit nervous about booking this tour, but everyone was so professional and helpful from start to finish. I highly recommend this company, our driver Omkar Yadav, and our amazing tour guide, Vijay Chauhan. 10 out of 10!Written September 28, 2024
- Sightseer617021749570 contributions"Tiger, Unwrapped!"I recently went on a fantastic tour to India, visiting Ranthambore for a thrilling tiger safari, as well as Delhi and Agra. The trip was a perfect blend of adventure, culture, and history. The highlight of the tour was the tiger safari at Ranthambore National Park. We were lucky enough to spot a tiger, and the whole experience was unforgettable. The park is beautiful and full of wildlife. The guide was knowledgeable, and the service was top-notch – everything from transportation to the safari itself was smooth and well-organized. Delhi, the capital city, was full of life, with busy markets, impressive historical sites like the Red Fort, and delicious street food. Agra, home to the Taj Mahal, was breathtaking. Seeing the Taj Mahal in person was a dream come true! What made this trip even better was the exceptional service. From booking to the end of the tour, everything was handled perfectly. The guides were friendly and informative, and the accommodations were comfortable. It was truly worth the money – great value for such a well-planned and exciting experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore India in a well-organized and enjoyable way!Written September 14, 2024

- TeamK90 contributionsReally enjoyed this tour, but may be better as a 5 or 6 day tripWe really loved this trip! Had so much fun and saw many sights. First, we really appreciated our driver, KK Sharma, who took care of us and safely shuttled us through the wild and crazy highways and cities of the golden triangle. He was always prompt and ready whenever we wanted to go from place to place. It was such a luxury to be tired from exploring a monument and come out to an air conditioned vehicle and a cool drink directly in front of the entrance, with friendly Mr. KK. He also made sure to stop often during our drives (he knew where the clean rest stops were) and frequently found us snacks/cold drinks. We felt like princesses! He also packed our TON of luggage into the trunk of his car. Our guides- Ravi, Vijay, and Gus- were also excellent, and made our short but sweet exploration much better by providing historical and cultural context, as well as ushering us past lines and taking amazing pictures! One point to consider- I felt like our 4 day time frame was a bit rushed- I would recommend taking a bit longer, as we were only able to hit up the highlights, and then had to take long car rides every day. Two of the days we arrived quite late and then had to wake up very early in the morning. Hotels- we stayed in the Clark Shiraz in Agra, the Tigress in Ranthambore, and the KK Royale in Jaipur. The Clark Shiraz was very comfortable, the Tigress was gorgeous and slightly less comfortable, the KK Royale was quite uncomfortable, but they were all generally clean and good for India. Nothing on the level of a true 5 star in a bigger city, but totally fine. Food was ok, if catering toward the bland tourist palate. I am celiac, and our guides/driver helped me so I didn’t get sick, which was huge! Make sure to bring a card in Hindi explaining any food intolerances, it helped a ton! Ranthambore was very beautiful, but the safari was extremely bouncy and quite uncomfortable. If you have longer legs or are tall, you will be absolutely smashed in the tiny seats with your knees whacking the back of the other seat for hours. The seats were way too small. None of the western couples could fit all the way on the seats, so the person on the inside was hanging half into the aisle. One of us sat out the afternoon safari as it was so uncomfortable. I wish we could have had an option to pay a bit extra for a private jeep instead. No tigers, but lots of other wildlife, and it was beautiful in the morning. One thing I didn’t like was the cultural demonstrations/aka tourist traps with intense pressure to sell. We did buy some items, but hated the way we were forced to go through room after room with more and more stuff, particularly since it ate into the time to see the attractions and was quite exhausting. Much better would have been a market tour or guidance to some shops based on our interests, since I definitely wanted to shop while in India, just not for those specific things. Overall we had a wonderful time, and felt very safe and taken care of. I don’t think I would have felt safe traveling in the area alone as two female westerners, so this tour was a great chance to see the area while having a bit more flexibility than a group tour.Written March 16, 2024
- A4703RLjohnt0 contributionsEpic Taj TourOmkar was an EXCELLENT driver, was on time, clean car, and fantastic and safe driving to Agra from Delhi. I met my tour guide Praveen (Rocky) at the 5 star hotel (Trident) and we left to Taj. Praveen (Rocky), my guide was an AMAZING…he knew ALL the photo spots, was incredibly knowledgeable of all the history and architecture of the Taj. I have a roll of epic pics and video, and the Taj itself cannot be missed by ANY traveler. He made sure I got all the pics I wanted and free of any tourists in pics!!! lol. Breakfast at the hotel was phenomenal as well, and much needed after the early morning travel. Private guide and driver is the ONLY way to travel to the Taj!!!!Written March 13, 2024

City Palace & Boat Ride in Lake Pichola to Jag Mandir is just WOW !!
A view of sunset from Lal Ghat and see the hotels around Lake Pichola light up is amazing.
View from SajjanGarh Monsoon Palace is mind blowing. A lot is required to be still done at Monsoon Palace by the Trust(Historic artifacts to be placed & provision of better public amenities) else tourist feels cheated for the time given & the entrance fees paid.

My friends and I took a full day private tour around Udaipur’s famous sites. Our tour guide Pintu was incredibly knowledgeable in sharing the history and answering our questions. He also took gorgeous photos of us in front of the best spots so we can remember our special trip together. The next time I or my friends visit Udaipur, we’ll be hiring Pintu to take us around and capture memories on film!

If you are new to Udaipur - especially if your time is limited - this guided tour is recommendable. You get to visit a Jain temple, the City Palace Museum, the Jagmandir Island Palace in the course of the lake cruise, an excellent Thal restaurant for lunch then the Saheliyon-ki-Bari gardens with their fountains (although thanks to low water pressure these were not in full flow for us). You do not have to walk far (a car takes you to the restaurant and the gardens). You are not persuaded into any shops! Your guide accompanies you throughout save only on the lake. Ours was excellent, very knowledgeable, fluent English, and didn't rush us at all. I had heaps of time to take photos. He didn't eat with us but sat at our restaurant table, explaining the meal to us - which was more helpful than perhaps it sounds!
NB however that the City Palace tour and Lake 'cruise' are easily bookable locally (at the well-run ticket office by the Palace gates) and the rest you could certainly put together for yourself - or not - at a considerable saving on the 'package' as booked through Viator from the UK.

We had a great tour of Udaipur arranged by Raj Sharma. They picked us up at the jetty of Leela Palace. Both the driver and the guide were excellent. We enjoyed the sights and sounds of the city and had a great lunch where we were able to explore local cuisine. The tour ended with a boat ride on the lake Pichola and visit to Jagmandir Island.
Thanks for making all the arrangements.
