A walk through history - Our guide Saurabh was incredibly knowledgeable and made walking around the taj like living history.
We then learned how to “Agra arts” is made by the same family who built the Taj. A great experience for anyone wanting a taste of the golden age of India.

Experience a good day trip - The overall travel schedule was tight, except for missing the train because the booking wasn't very timely and everything was great! Self-service alcohol is available at an extra cost to you. The guide is also very good, the instructions are very careful and the language is good! A very good experience.

Taj Mahal day trip with elementary school sons - My two primary school-aged sons and four husbands went on a private tour of the Taj Mahal on a day trip from Delhi.
He said it would take 4-5 hours by car and 1 hour 30 minutes by train, so he decided to take the train because he had never been on an Indian train before.
They picked us up at the hotel and which driver arranged our tickets and took us to our seats.
When we arrived at Agra station, another driver greeted us on the platform and gave us a ride to the Taj Mahal with a local guide, and on the way to Tuk Tuk.
My guide, Aman, explained it gently and politely, and my sons became big fans.
Traveling to India with my sons was a bit worrying, but it was a very good memory. Thank you, Aman.

A great day in Agra - Wonderful experience on the day tour from Delhi to Agra. We were picked up promptly from the hotel and escorted not only to the station but to our seats. The train ride was comfortable and the ac was appreciated! We were met in Agra by our driver for the day, and Arif, our guide, who expertly navigated Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Mini Taj with ease. He shared an abundance of information throughout the day that was both interesting and thought provoking. His sense of humor was also appreciated! Overall a good day.

We had an absolutely... - We had an absolutely wonderful experience touring the Taj Mahal and other monuments in Agra with our guide, Arif. From the start, he was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. His explanations about the history of the Taj Mahal and the stories behind its creation brought the monument to life in such a meaningful way.
Arif has a real gift for sharing details about the Mughal era, architecture, and cultural significance in a way that is both insightful and easy to understand. We especially appreciated how he pointed out small details we would have easily missed on our own, which gave us a much deeper appreciation of the craftsmanship and artistry of the region.
Beyond his expertise, Arif was attentive, patient, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour. His passion for history and pride in his city truly shone through, making the whole experience unforgettable.
We couldn’t have asked for a better guide in Agra—highly recommended!

Great experience to visit the Taj Majal! - What a great experience. Everything was very smooth. They picked us at the airport, made sure we were on the train and were right there to pick us up in Agra. Amman was amazing and gave us great history and background as part of the tour of the Taj Majal and baby Taj. He also had great recommendations at the restaurant. I would recommend this experience for anyone and hope you get Amaan as he was amazing!
