I was in Mumbai for work for a few weeks and wanted to see the Taj Mahal, but I had limited time. I ended up booking this tour and a roundtrip flight from Mumbai to Delhi the same day. My flight left at 3am and I got in to Delhi around 5:30am. My driver was right on time at 6:30am to pick me up and take me to the train station (~40 minute drive), he was very nice and waited with me for the train to come then personally took me to my seat. The train ride was nice (a little less than two hours going, exactly 90 minutes coming back) and there was breakfast served, although I didn't get it because I was asleep. When I arrived in Agra my second driver was waiting to take me in to town and we picked up the guide on the way. It took about 15 minutes and we were in the gates of the Taj by 10:15am. The guide was very knowledgeable, answered all my questions, and took really great pictures for me the entire day. He also handled the tickets at each location. We spent about an hour touring the Taj then he gave me about 40 minutes to enjoy it alone. We then left and were picked up to go to the lunch buffet, which was good. Following this, we went to the Agra fort in which we spent about another hour touring then he gave me some more time to enjoy by myself. Afterward, I had about two hours before I had to be back at the train station so the guide took me to two shops that highlight the original craftsmanship of Agra and have souvenirs. We then went to a clothing shop and a tea shop his friend owned. I got some great souvenirs from these places. I was then taken back to the train station (dinner included on train), picked up by the same driver from the morning in Delhi, and got back to the airport about 8:30pm for my 9:40pm flight. It was a long day but VERY worth it. I would definitely recommend this tour as everything was very smooth and I heard of other people that had trouble with tickets and cabs because they didn't plan ahead of time, many of them got scammed as well. The driver in Agra was the same the whole time and I was able to leave my backpack in the car and just take what I needed. Everyone I interacted with from this tour company was very professional and nice. I am a 26 y/o female that was traveling solo and this tour made it very easy and safe for me.

This was an amazing trip.Loved the mingling with locals in the Gaatiman Express. It is only 2 hours to Agra from Delhi by train..we had breakfast while going and supper while with ample bottle water provided. The organization and professionalism was great. pick up and drop off to hotel. Wonderful English speaking guide was provided. Ram was knowledgeable and personable and made the trip enjoyable. We saw Taj Mahal and Agra Fort and a wonderful lunch was included. Would highly recommend this if you don't want overnight stay.

I only had one free day in Delhi and wanted to visit the Taj Mahal located in Agra. Limited time was my issue and understood that a car drive from Delhi to Agra could take up to 5 hours (just one way!) leaving little time for sightseeing in Agra. Since I needed to be back in Delhi the very same day, a friend from California recommended me this tour company explaining it to me that they will pick me at my hotel in Delhi, take me to the Delhi train station (Gatiman train), will “seat me” on my assigned seat and will pick me up in Agra as the train arrives so that “I wouldn’t have any worries getting there”. It happened as told: the driver Akhtar picked me up promptly at 7:00 am (as agreed) and took me to the Delhi train station. He was very kind and knowledgeable. In Agra, I was picked up by the tour guide Ram and I believe that by 10:15 am I was already walking in beautiful Taj Mahal. The tour guide was also knowledgeable and took many photos of me, as per my request. My tour included a visit to Agra Fort and Baby Taj. I loved the 3 places. Since we had an hour to spare before my train back to Delhi (5:50 pm), I decided to go back to the Taj Mahal and was able to take pictures of the afternoon with different light in the background, very beautiful. The tour experience was excellent. My lunch was included, the restaurant was clean and food was good. I requested non-spicy and the tour guide arranged for it. My train ticket included food in the train. That was the only thing I particularly didn’t eat. They give you also a bottle of water only thing I had on the train. Also, when I first signed up, a person contacted me right away via WhatsApp to make sure my hotel data was accurate and I was provided with a copy of my train tickets. I found that interaction very professional and this person had a quick turnaround on every question I had. In summary, I would definitely recommend this tour.

It was an excellent tour. Very well organized. We were picked up at our hotel on time and taken to the train station. The driver Surender stayed with us and helped us board the train. On arrival to Agra our guide and driver were waiting for us. Liman was an excellent guide and Oumen kept us safe on the road. On getting back to Delhi, Surender was waiting for us on the train platform. The Taj Mahal was awesome, well worth the visit.
