- Fatehpur Sikri - Begin your journey from your hotel in Jaipur and drive to Agra, where your first stop will be Fatehpur Sikri. This quaint city in northern India, located just west of Agra, was established by a Mughal emperor in the 16th century. The city center is adorned with red sandstone structures. The Buland Darwaza gate serves as the entrance to the Jama Masjid mosque. Nearby, you will find the marble Tomb of Salim Chishti. The Diwan-E-Khas hall features a beautifully carved central pillar. Jodha Bai’s Palace, showcasing a blend of Hindu and Mughal architecture, is adjacent to the five-story Panch Mahal, which offers a stunning view of the area.
- Taj Mahal - This iconic monument, constructed by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan between 1632 and 1654 A.D., stands as a tribute to his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. Enjoy a guided tour of Agra’s other breathtaking attractions.
- Agra Fort - Spanning an impressive 94 acres, this grand red sandstone fort runs parallel to the Yamuna River and is located 2 kilometers northwest of the Taj Mahal. Initially occupied by the Sikarwar Rajputs, it was later seized by the Lodi rulers of Delhi. In 1526, following the Lodi’s defeat at the Battle of Panipat, Emperor Babur claimed the fort. After a brief loss to the Suri rulers, Akbar eventually reclaimed it and declared Agra his capital.
- Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah - Often referred to as the ‘Baby Taj,’ the Tomb of I’timād-ud-Daulah is a Mughal mausoleum in Agra. Known as a ‘jewel box,’ it is considered a precursor to the Taj Mahal. After your visit, you will be driven back to Jaipur. Upon reaching Jaipur, the driver will drop you off at your chosen location, leaving you with cherished memories of the tour.

Day trip to the Taj Mahal - The day trip to Taj Mahal was great. Despite the long drive, around 5 hours one way, Salman the driver was very friendly and talkative, he is also a very calm and relaxed driver, which is a rarity. I could take as many breaks as I needed, toilet, tea, snacks, atm, fruit vendors etc…
The visit at the Taj was also well organized and everything went smoothly, the guide was knowledgeable and after the tour he brought me to some shops/workshops to understand the gem and marble work

Taj Mahal was amazing. - Salman was an amazing guide and together with Nasir the driver, they made it very comfortable and hassle free. The Taj Mahal is awe inspiring and we were given the time to take in the wonder whilst still having the knowledge imparted by the guide. Excellent trip.

AMAZING! A tour to remember forever! - Farooq was absolutely fantastic! He went above and beyond to ensure our experience was far more than just a tour.
From the start, he arranged everything seamlessly—picking us up from our hotel and organizing our journey to Agra. Our taxi driver was both considerate and skilled, making the journey smooth and comfortable. Once in Agra, Farooq had arranged for us to tour the Taj Mahal and the city with Salman, an incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and helpful guide. Our driver, Nasir, was excellent—attentive, professional, and ensured we were well taken care of.
Farooq personally met us in Agra, and after exploring the sights, he accompanied us with Nasir to Jaipur, stopping at the stunning Agra step well along the way. The journey was effortless, with a delightful lunch stop, and we arrived at our hotel right on schedule. Later, they even picked us up to take us to an incredible restaurant in Jaipur.
This tour was nothing short of spectacular, all thanks to Farooq’s impeccable planning and genuine thoughtfulness. If I could rate him ten stars out of five, I absolutely would! Thank you, Farooq, for making our trip to India truly unforgettable.

Fascinating tour from Agra to Jaipur - We customised our tour because we came in to Delhi and Farooq of Jaipur Taxi Tour Service organised transport from Delhi to Agra and then on to Jaipur for us. Salman was our guide for the Taj Mahal and as well as being very knowledgable was also an adept cameraman. The sheer size of the Red Fort at Agra was mind-blowing and we also managed to slip in a visit to a carpet shop to see the process of hand-knotting carpets.
The trip to Jaipur was punctuated with an opportunity to see the giant Stepwell of Abhaneri (Chand Baori) which was an extraordinary structure.
Both cars and drivers felt safe (as much as any driving in India can) and Nasir our driver from Agra to Jaipur was extremely helpful. We were very pleased that he was also our driver the following day on a tour of the sights of Jaipur.
Farooq's communication was clear and rapid at all times and he was very helpful when we wanted to change our itinerary. Highly recommended.

OUR TRIP TO TAJ WITH SANTOSH - Excellent driver. Nice family man to travel with. Very helpful and gives commentary along the way. Stopped for Chai along the way at places he recommended and was very yummy Chai. A big day left at 5.30am and got back at 9pm. Taj Mahal was definitely the highlight and is truly amazing. I would recommend doing just the Taj Mahal and that way you won't be rushed ie you can sit down and watch...the view is spectacular.
Also had a wonderfully tasty lunch at The Lotus

From Jaipur to Taj Mahal - Everything was as expected and the driver, Nasir, was really nice and welcoming, as he offered snacks, sharing data, and let you be in charge of the music, etc. We didn’t go to Fatehpur Sikri as the guide was not included in this part.

Very clean car and experienced driver. Good day tour if your time is limited. - We booked a tour with this company and had an amazing time, visited the Taj Mahal in one day, went very smoothly and we had a great time. There's not much else to see in Agra besides the Taj Mahal so it's good to do a day tour especially if your time is limited. Would recommend this company as they are reliable and very punctual. The taxi was very clean and the driver was experienced. Would book again 10/10.

Reliable taxi company for foreigners - We were two British ladies and have hired Farooq Ali and his taxi tour company several times for different trips and every time he has been reliable, efficient and with a decent price. I wouldn't hire anyone else now that I know him.
He makes sure that your trip is arranged properly and that you are comfortable and looked after. Recommended.

Wonderful Day in Jaipur - “We had a jam-packed itinerary, and the only way we managed to achieve everything was thanks to our guide, Arsif, and driver, Nasir. Both were knowledgeable, had a good command of English, and were attentive to our requests. They ensured we felt safe and comfortable at all times. We had a wonderful day with this fantastic team. Thank you!”
