Taj Mahal in 1 Day. - Trip includes everything. No extra fees or surprises. Taxi from hotel to airport. Air India plane tickets (round trip) BOM-DEL-BOM. Private driver to/return to Agra. Private Taj Mahal tour guide includes all entry fees. Taxi from BOM airport to hotel.
Although we flew unescorted, we received detailed instructions on our trip.
Drive to/from Agra is more than 3 hours each way. Mr KK was an excellent driver and he spent time with us to explore the Indian culture during the long journey. Great personality and informative. Good job.
Taj Mahal guide was Mr Raj. During the long walk around the estate we were presented with a chronological history of the king who built the monument to his wife. He looked after our safety and security during the travel throughout the afternoon. He took us, at our special request, to see original hand made artworks. Tour was excellent. Raj our guide spent more than 5 hours touring together.
This is a very special experience. Taj Mahal is a world treasure. This trip far exceeded our expectations. Must go.
Warning: Hotel pickup was at 3am, Hotel drop-off was at 3am next morning. I highly recommend this trip, and the driver Mr KK and tour guide Raj.

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!

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.
