When I heard about the Private Agra Tour from Delhi, I knew it was a must-try experience. The promise of a train journey to Agra and witnessing the Taj Mahal at sunrise was irresistible. Here’s how our unforgettable day unfolded.
A Journey to Remember: The Train Ride to Agra
As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for experiences that are both enriching and enjoyable for the whole family. When I heard about the Private Agra Tour from Delhi, I knew it was something I had to try. The idea of a train journey to Agra, with the promise of seeing the Taj Mahal at sunrise, was too tempting to resist.
Our day began early, with a prompt pick-up from our hotel in Delhi. The driver was not only punctual but arrived 15 minutes early, which was a pleasant surprise. We were provided with all the necessary information about our driver and guide the night before, ensuring a smooth start to our adventure. The train ride itself was a delight, with comfortable seating and a delicious breakfast served on board. The kids were thrilled with the experience of traveling by train, and it was a great way to start our day.
The Majestic Taj Mahal at Sunrise
Arriving in Agra, we were greeted by our guide, Maahi, who was nothing short of exceptional. Her knowledge and passion for the history of the Taj Mahal were evident from the start. She guided us to a spot where we could capture the Taj Mahal from a distance, bathed in the soft pink hues of the sunrise. It was a moment of pure magic, and even the kids were captivated by the beauty of it all.
Maahi’s expertise shone through as she navigated us through the Taj Mahal complex. She ensured that we avoided the crowds and found the best spots for photos. Her patience and skill in taking pictures were remarkable, and she even managed to coach us into some great family shots. The golf carts provided were a thoughtful touch, especially for my elderly mother, making the experience accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
A Taste of Agra and Beyond
After our visit to the Taj Mahal, we enjoyed a delightful breakfast with a mix of Western and Indian options. The variety of juices, coffee, and tea was impressive, and it was the perfect way to refuel after our early start. Maahi’s guidance didn’t end there; she took us to some local stores where we could shop for tea and other specialty products. Her recommendations were spot-on, and we left with some wonderful souvenirs to remember our trip.
The journey back to Delhi was just as seamless as the morning had been. Our guide ensured we were comfortably seated on the train, and the ride back was a time to reflect on the incredible day we had just experienced. The Private Agra Tour was more than just a visit to the Taj Mahal; it was a day filled with unforgettable moments, thoughtful touches, and the kind of memories that make family travel so rewarding.
