Great tour. Recommended. - Fantastic day. It’s a huge one, longer than 12 hours, which counts as extra in India. But the drivers, guides and helpers made this trip seamless. Our guides knowledge was amazing, you’d miss so much by doing the trip alone.
The day is bloody expensive. But, I reckon it’s worth it to do the Taj properly.
My highlight was Agra Fort. I knew nothing about it prior.

Best visit to Agra - We had a wonderful experience today with our tour! They were very punctual to pick us up and drive us to the train station. Our driver, Pappu, also took some time to show us the highlights in Delhi before our train. He made sure we were on the right carriage. In our way to Delhi, we were served some snacks and food. Unlucky, our train was 40 min delayed but this was due to Diwali.
On our arrival, Manood was waiting for us with a garland. That was a very nice greeting from them! He was very nice, explaining and answering all of our questions. He guided us around Taj Mahal and giving us great information and details about the building. It is incredible and something everyone should visit at least once in a lifetime.
Later we went for food. They had special Diwali treats. There were many food options, indian varieties.
We continued our visit to the gardens, and we could have a unique view from Taj Mahal. After that, we visited baby Taj. It is more impressive that what you see on pictures. You can have a detailed view of the stone works, which I think are unique like Taj Mahal.
We finished our visit with Agra Fort. I think you can easily spend the day there. So many stories and such a unique building that is worth visiting.
After this, we were back to our train and picked up in Delhi by our taxi driver from morning.
I would totally recommend this tour, from Amit, Pappu and Manood. They are taking care of you and adjusting to your preference. Truly dedicated! We would definitely repeat this tour or others they offer. Thank you!

Great experience - highly recommend - My experience seeing Taj Mahal has been absolutely amazing thanks to my personal tour guide Manoj. He shared very interesting stories and facts, was attentive and kind, and just comfortable wandering around with. I am a female solo traveller so feeling safe and secure was important for me. My organiser Amit has done a perfect job planning it all, everything went smoothly. Can't thank enough this team for all the good memories I have now:) I will definitely be back to India!

Very disappointed - I booked, and paid for, this tour in September. It included round trip, 1st class train tickets, with meals.
Ten hours before the start of our trip I was informed that the return train was overbooked so we would have to travel from Agra back to Delhi by car (with no meals). I was then informed that our departure train time had been changed from 8:50am to 6:00am (we were supposed to be picked up from our hotel at 6:30am). So we had to drive to and from Agra in a car (3 hours each way).
When we got to Agra, the guide said that we had to pay for the tuk tuk (after I had already paid $300 for the tour).
We had lunch at a Marriott and, while the food was delicious, it was definitely not a 5-star hotel (and it was very, very dirty).
We were traveling with friends who are of Indian ethnicity and they said that they were embarrassed that a tour company would treat us this way.
I’m hoping for a refund but will see.
