What people are saying about Agra

Highly recommend this tour! We were picked up from our hotel by our driver, Nek, in a nice car and drove to Agra. There was no traffic & the trip was smooth. We stopped to get a Masala tea along the way which was delicious! Ronit was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable and has been working as a guide for 21 years. We went to the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Baby Taj and marble markets. Breakfast at the Marriott was great with lots of Indian and western options. We had a fantastic time.

This was honestly better than expected. Normally we travel independently but were didn't fancy driving in India so went with this option. We felt very safe with our driver for 4 days - Rajesh, a gentleman for whom nothing was too much trouble. Guides in each city were experienced and knowledgeable, and we were able to flex the itinerary to suit what we wanted to see. Would strongly recommend.

Really smooth experience in what can sometimes be a challenging travel destination. we saw all the highlights - the tour was impeccably organized and everyone was on time! It was such a relaxing way to see some of the best that India has to offer
