Great tour! - The tour was perfectly organized and everything was very smooth! KK (driver) and Raj (guide) did an excellent job throughout day. Of course, it won’t be many hours in Agra, but definitely enough to cover both Taj Mahal and Agra Fort.

Perfection in Guiding and Hosting! - Absolutely superb guide, Raj. Phenomenal! The Taj Mahal is beautiful, but, I promise you, Raj made this over the top. Singularly knowledgeable about the history, the people, the city and the industry he is in, it was a complete lesson in Indian history to this student of history.

Taj Mahal trip from Chennai - The views were breathtaking and the weather was perfect. Vijay was an excellent tour guide with a fascinating amount of knowledge regarding Taj Mahal and Agra. We had Omkar as our driver and I coined him as the Indian James Bond! The two were an amazing duo and I highly recommend them. Vijay is also very good with photography and posing couples. 10/10

1 Day Taj Mahal Tour With Rocky - Rocky and Sonu made a whirlwind 1 day trip from Chennai to the Taj Mahal smooth and very worthwhile! They were both incredibly welcoming and Rocky was a superstar who navigated a busy Saturday at the Taj Mahal with ease. Would recommend!

Beautiful day in Agra! - Nizar, Umkar, and Rocky were wonderful drivers and coordinators and your guides today! We saw the taj mahal and a weaving shop (a little heavy on the sales bit). The flights were delayed but they adjusted our flight back to Chennai so that we still got our full day in Agra!

Might be better to make own arrangements to and from Delhi/Agra. - Delhi/Agra side was perfect - driver and guide were first-rate. Taj Mahal was amazing. But outside of this, organization, preparation and communication were poor, leaving us fraught with anxiety, culminating in arriving back in Chennai and no driver to collect us at 2am. No checking in with us at points throughout the day. Not for the inexperienced traveler, much less tourist.

well organized, safe and... - well organized, safe and good communication with the agency.
have some suggestions to improve: taxi driver can be faster to Agra to save some time.
We didnt enter to Agra fort because they say we will miss the flight back and we actually waited 4 hrs for the flight.
