Wonderful tour with Nabeel - This was an amazing full day private tour of the Agra sites including the Taj Mahal. We had a wonderful guide Nabeel who told us the riveting story of the Taj Mahal and made sure to take us to all the perfect photo spots. He is a great conversationalist and made our tour truely special. He also kept us cool and safe with umbrellas, water and found us all the shady spots. We were so happy to have him as our guide. Our driver Aamir was great too and kept us safe and cool. Would highly recommend!

Unforgettable tour of Agra with Nabeel - Our day trip to Agra was beyond wonderful. The train ride was easy and our amazing guide Nabeel was right there to pick us up. He put us right at ease with his friendly manner and amazing english. He was very knowledgeable about his city, and we learned so much about the city and its sights. The Taj Mahal is truly unforgettable. The whole experience couldn’t have been better. Thank you! Our driver Amid drove us safely between locations in a comfortable air conditioned car and was great as well.

Seamless tour to the Taj Mahal - This tour to the Taj Mahal from Delhi was seamless in organisation. We were collected in the morning on time from our hotel and taken to the train station and put in our seats. Upon arrival at Agra, we will met by our guide Nabeel on the platform and escorted to the waiting car with the driver Aamir, where we had a beautiful garland of flowers put round our neck. At the Taj Mahal, Nabeel’s experience was evident as he provided a tonne of information (whilst sitting in the shade) and proved himself to be a great photographer knowing all the best spots. In the 43 degree heat, it was great to jump in the back into an air conditioned car and be given cold water between stops. Lunch was in a nice restaurant and we were put on the train back to Delhi. As two women, we felt safe at all times with our guide and driver. All in all, it is worth the price for an stress-free day and going by train, is an enjoyable way to visit Agra!

A Fantastic Experience - Nabeel, our tour guide, and Aamir, the driver, were at Agra Cantt Station to pick us up when we arrived (we had also been put on the train at Delhi which went very smoothly) and ensured we had a fantastic time during our day in Agra. Nabeel was very knowledgeable when telling us about the history of the Taj Mahal and was crucial in ensuring that we got a Tuk Tuk quickly to take us the final short distance to the Taj Mahal, gained very quick entry and got a golf cart promptly back to the driver at the end of the visit, meaning that we didn’t get any hassle from the people trying to sell us their goods. We were taken to a lovely restaurant for lunch, which we would never have come across by ourselves. After lunch, we chose to go to see the Baby Taj and once again heard a very interesting account of its history. The air conditioned car was a most welcome mode of transport in the intense heat, reaching temperatures of 45 degrees. All in all, we would thoroughly recommend the day trip.

The guides force you to leave a 5 star review! - Please do not believe all of the 5 star reviews as they are coerced by the guides. They ask everyone in the group to submit a 5 star review (if you don’t have data, they ask you to connect to their hotspot) and show them the confirmation page. As someone who has been to nearly 50 countries, I have never experienced such a high pressure and stressful tour. Positives: - Prompt pickup in AC car at 3am in Delhi and driven to Agra. - Knowledgable and friendly tour guides. - The guides did warn us about the photographer scams. - Breakfast was good and had variety of Indian/Western cuisine. - Overall we got to see the Taj Mahal and Agra in one day which was our goal. Negatives: - We were passed around between 3 different driver/guides + 2 different tuktuk drivers and expected to tip them all. - It felt like we were being swindled for money in several small ways. In Agra, we were told that we had to take a tuktuk from the Taj Mahal to the parking lot and the price was not included. This was unexpected. Also, having to pay a stranger to watch our shoes outside of the Jama Masjid when others were carrying theirs inside - we spent around $30 extra dollars in “excluded” things. - We were deposited into 2 separate shops where the salesmen asked us to sit down and listen to their 20+ minute long pitch of $3000 marble tables or $1000 rugs (that appear to be made in China!) The marble man only refused our “no thank you” 3 times before letting us leave, but the carpet man was EXTREMELY adamant and would not accept no as an answer. We had to physically stand up and walk past him and his workers as they were all pushing us to “take a look upstairs.” When it was clear we were leaving, the carpet man started mumbling under his breath and scowling at us. - Our tour included a “tour of old Delhi” and we thought it would be on a motorized tuktuk. Instead, an elderly man had to bike us uphill on a 110 degree F (43 C) day!!! We felt so guilty and it was not enjoyable. - The pricing fluctuates extremely. We paid $130 per person for a Day trip by car from Delhi to Agra + entrances and tours + tuktuk tour of Old Delhi (when everything was closed for election). However on their website now, the same tour is $15 per person?!!!? I booked directly through Pioneer Tours to get the best price but apparently that was a rip off.
