We started our day early in the morning to catch the sunrise at the Taj Mahal. It was beautiful! Wasim was our brilliant guide, he was very knowledgable about the importance and meaning of all the sites we visited, which is because he teaches Moghul history in school! It also helped that he was an excellent photographer. Then we had breakfast and went out to explore Agra fort which was beautiful and we got to visit the factories where they make the intricate marble work that is displayed at the Taj Mahal. A fantastic and memorable day! I would recommend Wasim as a tour guide and Azam as a driver, they were both very attentive, friendly and helpful!

This tour fulfilled the Indian dream tour, with the kindest and knowledgable guide, Mr. Hilal! Taj Mahal and Agra Fort together with a visit to handicraft and a chapel were altogether incredible, to say the least. Mr. Hilal was an amazing guide with so much knowledge, and he knew all the best poses and places to take pictures - you don't need a professional photographer when you're with him! He brought me to a great, reasonable restaurant with buffet where I could experience all kinds of dal, curry and dessert with veggie options. All in all really amazing tour, highly recommended from a traveler who has been to 90+ countries!

Tour guide is nice, he even asked us if we want to go to other place which is not included in the itinerary. He then took us to elephant village. Overall, it was a nice tour and will definitely take this again when we go back.

Hilal Ahmed was an excellent tour guide. He was very thorough in the history of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. You can tell that he was very passionate about educating us on the story behind these amazing sites. He took great care that we came away with a deep appreciation for the culture and history. He was also a great photographer. Highly recommend!

This gentleman who did Agra city guide for my family has full knowledge of history and building, monument, and places around the city.
He told us a beautiful story of Taj Mahal and took very impressive pictures of my children and husband with me.
I 'll definitely remember the time we spent Agra fort and Taji Mahal for a long time.
If you want to look around the city within a day and then come back to Delhi, the guide will help you to have efficient ways.

We did the sunrise tour and a car picked us up in Delhi early directly from our hotel. It was excellent tour and overall incredible experience. The driver, Sunil, picked us up on time, was communicative and the car was comfortable, clean and AC worked well.
Our guide Waseem “The Professor” had over 20 years of guiding experience and was very knowledgeable and explained the meaning and significance of everything at the Taj Mahal. He was also a great photographer and took amazing photos for us.
This was our first time in India and this has been the highlight of the trip. We will be recommending this tour to friends who are visiting next week.

Hi,

Now, I saw you different package options we can choose from.
Just to verify, is it possible to make this trip Saturday 23rd of March 2019 at 7 am?
Also, just to clarify your options:
- Basic package includes everything & train tickets, except entrance fee to Taj Mahal and lunch? This package includes 2 adults?
- All inclusive package: Includes everything including lunch? Also for 2 Adults?
Many thanks for your service.

The morning train leaves around 8am and the train back is around 5:30pm (arriving 7:30) but I’m sure you could get them to bring you back earlier if you ask. They are very accommodating.

I am interested in booking this tour for Monday 14 May - 2 adults.
What time are you picked up from the hotel in Delhi to catch the express train? It says 7-00 am on the first page to get 8-50 am train - but then when I go into the booking page it says 5-00 am.
I don’t want to set off at 5-00 am - far too early!
Also, what time does the train return from Agra?
Regards, Cheryl
Written April 25, 2018
I was picked up at 7:15. The earlier time might be for an earlier train that I think is used on some other tours that also include Fatephur Sikri.
I seem to remember that the train back left Agra around 5:30 or thereabouts.

Why is your tour advertised one price and as soon as I try to make a reservation the price goes 10 times up?!
Written April 13, 2018
Dear sir,
the advertised price are for minimum 15 person required for the tour and we have given two option for basic package and all inclusive package so prices are different for two options.

Hi. I would like to know if all the transportation has air conditioning and how long time will we be able to stay at every visited place? Thank you
Written April 7, 2018
Cars and trains had air con. Generally there isn't a time limit but the tour guide has a flow of the tour which may dictate how long you wish to stay at each place. We are physically fit and spent about 3 hours at Taj Mahal, 2 hours at Agra Fort, 1 hour lunch, and about 30 min total at the "trap" shops.
