A solo on a business trip with an unusual spare couple of days so booked this tour at very short notice. There was little time for confirmation with the tour company but nonetheless, Deepak (driver) was right on time for the pick-up and journey to Agra. I chose a 9.30 am start which worked well as the drive is 3-5 hours and you arrive in Agra with enough time for the day 1 itinerary without any rush. It was a pleasure to meet Akash (he rides a Royal Enfield, so a top man in my book!) outside the intended tour hotel. I actually opted to book an alternative hotel which was my own decision (250+ hotel nights per year makes me a little fussy), but to be fair the tour hotel looked perfectly acceptable. I then took lunch at a suggested restaurant (Pinch of Spice). Definitely for the tourist so a little more costly but the food was very good a plentiful. After lunch, we were joined by Rajesh, my guide for the monuments and onto Agra Fort. Rajesh quickly established himself as very knowledgeable answering my unending questions without hesitation. The Fort is impressive, so don't rush it! Then onto Mehtab Bagh, one of the restored Mughal gardens with its excellent view of the Taj Mahal from across the river. These are lovely formal gardens and would have been a fabulous spot for the sunset, if not for the total cloud cover and a little rain which sadly prevented this on my visit. Day 2 was a very early start (5.30 am) for the short drive to the Taj Mahal and the hoped-for sunrise. Even arriving that early there were plenty of people around, so the 'skip the line' ticket (part of the package) worked well! Be prepared for a little madness through the entrance and some mild hysteria as people rush to get their, perhaps crowd-free, pic's. After a brisk walk (about 800 metres) I was guided to a perfect spot for my photo's as the sun came up! Unfortunately not the most spectacular sunrise (due to much overnight rain and consequent humidity) but there was some brief sunrise colour in the monument and so worth the early start. The sunset and sunrise part will always be a hit and miss affair, but going early may mean missing the worst of the crowds. A mistake on my part was to agree, albeit half-heartedly, to a "professional" photographer. I did say perhaps a photo or two but this ended up being some 25-30 shots with me being asked to pose at various spots. I went along with this to a point but, without my partner being there, this had no value for me and ended with the photographer going off disgruntled when I rejected the 3000INR 'photo package'. For some, this is probably a great service, but if you don't want it be specific and save the time and awkwardness. Rajesh's knowledge of the Taj Mahal shone through as he walked me around the monument. He explained the history in good detail and again answered my many questions with ease. He gave me plenty of time to take my photos too, so is exactly what I needed in a tour guide. The next stop was Itmad-ud-Daula (or Baby Taj), another exquisite Mughal mausoleum and garden on the banks of the Yamuna River. This was an especially pleasant visit as with it still being early, no one was there! For some reason, that I may have missed, we didn't go to Fatehpur Sikri as advertised. I only realised this as I sat down to write this review, so not sure what happened here. As stated, I may have missed something but I don't remember it being mentioned. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would recommend Akash and his team. Rajesh was a great guide and made every effort to ensure I was getting what I needed from the tour. As is common, the tour included the suggestion of several shopping opportunities. I listened (as they did sound interesting) but never felt pressured to accept these; saying no once (or maybe twice) was enough. Lastly, for the journey from/to my Delhi Airport hotel, Deepak was a great driver and again regularly asked if I had everything I needed (rest stops, water, food, etc.). I would say that the traffic in and around the cities can be chaotic and may be unnerving for the faint-hearted! There is also a common use of mobile phones whilst driving in India. However, I never felt unsafe and it all relaxes for a large part of the journey on the Yamuna Expressway. Great job guys and keep up the good work 👍

We did a Golden Triangle tour with Akbran Tour. I researched a long time & interviewed many tour operators before choosing Akash. We are not conventional travelers & we are very picky when choosing a tour as we usually always do self-guided tour when possible. Many criteria were important to us: - Speaks good English & most importantly with an “accent” we could easily understand - Ease of contact, before/during/after the tour - Reasonable prices - Willing to tailor our tour to our needs & open to be flexible along the way - As we were booking a long time in advance, flexible cancellation policies were also important - Agree to “No Shopping” unless we specifically request it - Would provide a safe but skilled driver that speaks English - Many good reviews on TA from frequent contributors, - Last but not least, friendly & a good sense of humor After reading tons of reviews & exchanging many emails with several tour operators, I had a good sense that Akash would tick all those boxes & that he would be our best choice. Now that we have completed our tour, I can attest that he does tick all those boxes & so much more. He was the best guide we ever encountered. He easily adapted to our personalities & our needs. We felt immediately at ease & in good hands with him. We were concerned about being overwhelmed with historical data, but Akash was a great story teller. He knew how to make the information interesting & he had a good sense of when to stop talking or when to add more information. His English was very good & he almost did not have any “accent, so it was very easy to understand everything he said. This is such an important part as, to our fault, we often have a hard time understanding Indian people when they speak English. The last thing you want with a guide is to constantly have to ask him to repeat or have to concentrate very hard to understand or totally zone out because you have no clue what the person is saying, LOL. In addition, he protected us from hawkers & knew all the best angles for pictures. He is very smart & knowledgeable. But he is not a pompous or pedantic person. He has a very friendly casual demeanor, which was perfect for us. Not only is he good in giving historical information but he knows a lot about religion, politics, economics & he has a great understanding of people in general. We had a lot of questions & he answered them all comfortably. We also had lots of good laughs. He also provided us with an excellent reliable driver, Deepak. He was always on time & available rapidly whenever we were ready to move on to another place. He spoke good English & had a good sense of humor as well. Most importantly, he was a very skilled driver & we felt safe with him. I will add that when I first contacted him, it took him a while to get back to me so I almost gave up on him. If this happens, don’t give up, he is a busy man. I can attest that all subsequent communications were answered very rapidly. My husband usually can’t stand doing guided tours for more than a couple hours. We were with Akash for almost 2 full days & we could not get enough of him. We were really sad to part from him. We have had other guides since & we can truly say that we miss him. Don’t hesitate to book him for your Golden Triangle Tour.

Fantastic tours run by Akash. Good value for money and great knowledge from the guide. Taken to some great shopping spots and the fantastic sights. We recommend this tour and Akash to show you around Delhi and Agra. He looked after us very well. Took some of the worry out of organising our tours. This company can help you with any tour.

Me and my sister were a little worried about travelling to India as two solo women, specially coming from Mexico, where safety is a real issue. Akash was able to help us even before arrival, as he was always answering my emails and making proper suggestions to our travel plans. Once arrived, the driver picked us up on time and took us toour hotel in Agra. The sunrise visit to Taj Mahal, the visit to Sikri... Everything was just wonderful. We were really pampered, always having plenty of bottled water and having great information of each place. They made our meditation and shopping plans possible. Definitely, if you are not sure what guide to choose when visiting Agra and Delhi, don't hesitate to contact Akash and his team. Thanks for your great services. We felt safe, happy and well informed all the time.
