Long lay-over Taj Mahal tour… trip of a lifetime!!! - What an amazing day this was to end our visit to India! We had one free day before our 11:30pm flight home and our friend/agent researched tour companies and found the perfect private tour!
Shoaib manages the company and coordinated/confirmed the details including pickup at our hotel, escort onto the express train from Delhi to Agra, pickup by Owais (very professional and very clear English). Owais met us on the train platform and customized our day… I am still amazed at everything we fit-in. It truly was a perfect day!
Highlights included:
1. Having Owais line us up with a professional photographer (among the many that swarm you as you enter)… the photographer had high-quality equipment, a friend helping manage the crowds to move us through the photo spots efficiently, a full digital copy of the photos as well as an album of prints to enjoy on the train back. I included one photo of the photographer managing the crowd while shooting photos of my wife at the Princess Diana bench.
2. Lunch at a high-quality restaurant with excellent food and service (with no delayed after-effects). Buffet-style dishes with some great appetizers that added a variety to the lunch.
3. Shopping for local jewelry and hand-inlaid marble created by the same artisans that maintain the Taj Mahal (descendents of the original craftsmen), even shipping larger items to our home for no additional charge. A beautiful back-lit marble/inlaid end table to remind us of this amazing day!
4. Agra Fort visit… due to extending our shopping experience we thought we might need to skip this visit but Owais and the driver coordinated a quick visit to see this AMAZING castle… I loved seeing the actual moat, draw bridge, ramparts, spouts used to pour oil/water on invaders… this looks like it could have been in a movie. So happy that we fit this in. Thank you Owais!
To end the day, Owais escorted us to the train platform (thankfully, as due to a delay the train arrived at a different platform)… and our morning driver met us at the other end, getting us back to the hotel to get our luggage and on to the airport in time for a quick shower before our return trip began.
I will admit that I was nervous about trying to visit the Taj Mahal during our one free day in Delhi but, the private tour by express train was the perfect answer! Cold water was always available, Owais was always by our side and we were surprised at how quickly our driver appeared to get us from place to place. Even with the delayed return train we were comfortable that our driver would get us where we needed to be. This was the highlight of our trip. What a beautiful day! Thank you Owais and Shoaib!
