- 957adriannab0 contributionsSolid Tour, See a Lot in One DayOverall this was very worth it as we were able to visit several sites in one day with consistent transportation. The Sikh temple visit was particularly good, as our guide had a lot of valuable information. Afterward the level of information at each site leveled off. I was disappointed though as our male guide would not speak directly to me, and only spoke to my boyfriend. I’m not sure that it was intentional, but it did affect our experience.Written December 11, 2024

- jpolat0 contributionsIt’s a review for the second day only.This is particularly for the Agra tour and our tour guide Ali. As we wanted to see Taj Majal in the sunrise, our driver picked us up at 6:30 and we picked our guide Ali. He told us in the beginning that “the photographers will approach you, if you don’t want it, you can reject it”. We were like, sure. Later on, he took us to a corner to explain. He spoke with someone over the phone. Later on, his phone was nonstop ringing. He was like “I’m sorry, that’s my wife” when the phone clearly writing “Photographer …”. He told over the phone that something about toilets (we were close to the toilets). Afterwards a photographer approached us, probably his friend. The price that this friend said was higher than the prices that were written at the entrance. We kindly denied but he slightly insisted. Instead of lying and luring someone, he can be “I have a friend who is a good photographer and he can give you discount” or something similar might’ve been better. When he was taking our photos, I clearly told him that “we don’t want a photographer at all, so whatever you can take for us will be all the photos.”. He didn’t say anything afterwards. Afterwards, we were not happy and sceptical for the rest of the trip as we were questioning the other places that he took us. The tour was okay, but honestly would have make it better.Written December 10, 2024
- 398lupitas0 contributionsGood tour, wish guide was betterThis review is specifically for the second day of the tour in Agra, with the tour guide Ali. The tour is basic, yet complete and it can be arranged according to what you wanna see. Sadly the tour guide wasn’t the best. He barely gave any information inside the sites and it was extremely basic. In order to keep the tour going and make it a bit more interesting we had to make so many questions. We were looking and listening at other tour guides explaining so much and giving long and interesting information about the rich history of the places but our guide didn’t provide more than the very basic info. He also called his friend to to offer us professional photography services even after we told him specifically we didn’t want that service. He acted surprised to see the photographer, even after we heard he was calling him. This little details make the experience annoying and make us not trusting our own tour guide. We understand they see it as a side hustle and it’s alright but the way they did it was kinda intrusive.Written December 10, 2024
- justinmL9445XM0 contributionsGreat day at the Taj Mahal!!Aman was an amazing tour guide! We had a fantastic time at the Taj Mahal, and Aman took the best photos for us!! He has a great eye for photographs, and went there extra mile to get great photos of our group. Aman was extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of not just the area but India as well, and we had great conversation. The restaurant he recommended was absolutely the best Indian cuisine I’ve eaten, and the service was top notch! I highly recommend Aman, and would request him in a heartbeat if I were to return!Written December 10, 2024

Two ladies in Agra in December- We were there on the coldest day since 119 years,
only 6 degrees and very foggy. We had an excellent guide called Shuai who spoke good English. He very kindly waited with taxi driver at Agra-Cantt Railway station, for an extra hour and a half to pick us up as train was late due to fog. Then they took us to our hotel, waited again and finally took us to the Taj Mahal. Although chilly and very misty it was worth going and Shuai told us the history and guided us through the various sections. Can really recommend this ticket, well worth it.

I thought I was buying just the tickets and when the payment was made, realized that a guide was included too. Although I asked where to meet the guide etc, via email beforehand it was not clear until the day before, when I received an email instructing us to go to a mall about 5 mins away to meet and pick up the tickets. This was a mistake from my part as I just went to the ticket counter instead. Called the guide and he said he would be there in 5 mins (it was actually 15 mins). In the meanwhile, the ticket counter for foreigners was quite empty so we were waiting for no reason. The cost was quite cheap to buy upfront, and the 'skip the line' queue when presenting the ticket was small too, so no reason to buy upfront as far as I understood. The voucher that was given when payment was made was not recognizable at the ticket counter. The guide had to come, apparently exchange the voucher with the tickets (receive the tickets via whatsapp from the office) As it was freezing, we were waiting in the cold while everyone was just going in. To get in the mausoleum , the skip the line ticket is not valid, everyone must wait their turn. So all in all, the Taj Mahal was wonderful but if I were to do it again I would just buy the tickets at the counter. The guide we let him go, as we had already hired a guide as part of our independent package /transport from Delhi anyway. Also, I found out that visiting the Taj Mahal is better in the afternoon when the queues for the mausoleum have subsided.

Dear Guest,
Thank you for sharing the experience about your recent Tour.
It has been our pleasure to serve you and we want you to know that we truly value your continued relationship with us. We apologize for the inconvenience caused however please give me a chance to clarify. As per the manager you were advised to meet the person getting the ticket for you at the TDI Mall, but unfortunately the person did not find you because you already reached the ticket counter. The miscommunication led to you waiting for some time at the ticket counter.
The voucher is basically for the company to locate the authentic person who is taking the tour and not for the ticket counter. That is the reason why it did not work.
Hope we were able to clarify our stand.
We look forward to welcoming you back to refreshing experience.
Best regards!

The visit to the Taj Mahal was spectacular but the instructions to go with the ticket were frustratingly confusing. My voucher said that the "redemption point" was the "Dharmapuri Forest Colony". The day before my intended trip I decided to check this out. Good job I did is all I can say. The place is some sort of army base & after explaining why I was there & showing my voucher I was firmly ordered to leave the site as I had no right to be there. After much research, I managed to email the company that agreed to come to the place I was staying in Agra. So unnecessarily confusing! Please just put clear instructions. Simplicity = success.

I came from the United States, and traveled to the Taj Mahal alone. Our hotel booked this tour for me.
The tour guide with the name Zaffar also referred to as Raj was very dishonest. He took me on the tour, and then offered professional services to take pictures of me and the Taj Mahal. He then told me that the price is $247 (US dollars) for all those pictures. When I said that it's too expensive, he became stern and angry. He then reduced the price to $150. Because I was a woman, traveling alone, I didn't feel I could argue or walk away. I had to pay up.
During the tour, he made up stories that he was Tom Cruise's tourguide and Mark Zuckerberg's tourguide.
He then took me to several shops although I repeatedly told him that I don't want to go shopping.
He also refused to take me to Agra Fort even though the initial contract included Agra Fort.
Stay away!!!

We've purchased tickets for the Taj Mahal skip the line entrance ticket which includes Agra Fort. It says "TG2-06:00"
I know there are various gates at Taj Mahal but I'm worried we'll turn up at the wrong gate. Our paperwork says 'present this ticket at the redemption point to receive your entry ticket' yet the Redemption point remains blank. It's very unclear. Help!
