“Excellent day out - We very much enjoyed our day trip today! From the moment we were picked up from our hotel we knew we were on for a great day. Our driver Riyaz was punctual and assisted us by directly taking us to the train and seating us at our seats. Once in Agra we were welcomed by Ali as we got off the train. From here Ali was an excellent guide at Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to some shops where we were able to buy some lovely marble pieces and jewelry to take home. Our driver Rehman provided us with cold water all throughout the day, which was very welcome and needed. We had a beautiful buffet lunch at The Trident. Our day finished with a beautiful sunset view at a rooftop bar of the Taj Mahal. Ali then assisted us back on the train back to Delhi where Riyaz was waiting to take us back to our hotel. The day was fantastic and we’d like to thank you all for a truly memorable day. Highly recommended” - Reviewed on 2020-09-28
