- Taj Mahal - Head to the breathtaking Taj Mahal (a Unesco World Heritage Site). No trip to Agra would be complete without a visit to this iconic building of domes and minarets. This tomb stands testimony to the timeless love story of the 17th century Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan, and his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Just immerse yourself in its amazing architecture, history, and beauty. The magical allure of the Taj Mahal shall definitely be the highlight of your tour.
- Agra Fort - Next, visit the imposing red sandstone Agra Fort (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). It was the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty until 1638 and one of the finest Mughal forts in India. The elegant buildings inside reflect an interesting synthesis of Hindu and Central Asian architectural styles. The maze of the courtyards, mosques & private chambers of the fort echo the story of the Mughal Empire.
You will then enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, followed by free time for shopping. Agra is known for its fabulous handicrafts made of marble and soft stone inlay work. Agra’s major handicraft products besides inlay work are leatherware, brassware, carpets, jewellery and embroidery work.

Fantastic Taj Mahal trip - This experience exceeded all of my expectations. Our driver, DK Sharma was amazing. Polite, professional, interactive and safe. He was always there at the perfect time to pick us up to take us place to place. He even came a half an hour early before the tour started just to make sure he was there on time for us.
Our tour guide was Sensational! Rajni Kant was so knowledgeable and a great educator. He was professional, had a pleasant demeanor, conscientious and a great photographer. He never made us feel like we needed to be in a hurry despite the fact that we probably extended his day much longer than it should have been.
I would ask for both of them back again for a future tour when I return.

A great day full of many wonderful experiences! - Our tour guide was Raj. He was great and very knowledgeable! Our driver DK was a very good driver! We had a great day seeing the Taj Mahal. Having a tour guide makes it so much better because you get to learn the history more. I learned so much! After that we went to see the marble artisans! So beautiful! The restaurant we went to was so delicious! I had a little bit of everything! The Persian rug artwork we saw next was exquisite! It was a great day!

Magic Taj Mahal - Incredible Taj Mahal, our guide Mahesh shared with us the whole story of the Taj as well as the Red Fort. He was captivating and took all the necessary time for us to feel the peaceful sites. Special advices for the pictures and point of views. He is a magician. The Taj without a guide is not worth it at all and Mahesh was perfect.

Highly Experienced Tour Operator - Rajni Kant with PCTI was fantastic! He has been giving tours for over 15 years and has a depth of education and experience that allows him to provide a comprehensive and enlightening tour that will satisfy any global wanderer.
We were able to tour the Taj Mahal and Red Fort with its palaces, as well as enjoy an excellent buffet for lunch in between. You really won’t find anyone who can provide more knowledge on the places we visited. 5 of 5 would recommend.

Tour of Taj Mahal & Agra Fort - Overall a great experience.
We were driven by DK, who arrived early for pickup and gave a smooth ride in a good car.
Then guided around by Mahesh who gave a very in-depth tour of both the Taj Mahal and the Agra Fort.
They were both very polite through the entire experience!

Thankful for this fantastic Golden Triangle Tour!!! A really must try! - Prishant, Ashook, and Arif are fantastic tour guides, each bringing their own expertise, friendliness, and dedication to our journey through India.
Prishant knows a lot about India's history, culture, and traditions. He patiently explains everything, plans our trip well, showing us both popular places and hidden gems. We also try many different foods based on his recommendations. And they were all so good! He knows where to shop and not shop. He would tell jokes with us that made the tour fun!
Ashook brings lots of energy and excitement to our trip? He warmly welcomed us, making us feel like old friends. Instantly his energy made the tour very light and he felt like a family. He understands what we like and makes sure our activities suited us! His passion for photography adds another layer to our experience - we are Filipinos and he understood that we like taking pictures. He even took most of are pictures and they are amazing!!! The best!
Arif always made sure we were comfortable and really made us feel safe. His driving felt comfortable and he would put on music just to energize us! He even put an indian music that really out my parents to an energetic mood! He took care of small details like keeping us hydrated all the time, and anticipating our needs and never missing out on giving us wet wipes when we went put. He also shares interesting stories, making us feel at home. We appreciate Arif so much!
Overall, Prishant, Ashook, and Arif make our journey through India unforgettable with their professionalism and passion.
