Great 24 hour trip! - Highly recommend Nikita Holidays! Raj Sharma who helped organise the trip was very helpful and responsive via email and WhatsApp before the trip. They were able to accommodate a last minute change also without issue!
Ravi my driver was on time, a safe driver, great company and made me feel at home!
The guide was great, provided lots of history and a great tour around Taj Mahal and Agra Fort.
Would use Nikita holidays again for more India tours!

Certified Great & Safe Tour for Female Solo Traveller - Awesome one day tour in the Taj Mahal & Agra city with Prem & Tony! :)
Prem (driver) is also knowledgeable so there wasn’t a dull moment going to and from the airport (3.5-hrs drive). He also handled my colleagues very well in terms of providing good feedback about how Nikita Holidays put the safety or their clients as priority.
On the other side, Tony (tour guide) gave very elaborate speech and was super supportive in taking great shots on each visited site. He’s such a gentleman who always cater to your needs as he anticipates.
Thumbs up to Nikita Holidays for making this trip extra special despite the short duration I can spare from my trip.
