Amarjeet’s travel packages - We customized travel to go to Agra, Delhi and Varanasi. We had 2 elders (80+) with wheelchair requirements and 3 teens. We gave a list of required places we wanted to visit to Amarjeet. He expertly handled all logistics of pickup from airport, travel to hotel and to various sites and local tour guides as well. He personally accompanied us to most places and this was extremely helpful for solving difficult logistics involving weather, wheelchair availability etc. Overall I rate Amarjeet 10/10. There were some differences in ability of local tour guides from place to place - this could be one factor for improvement.

Sunrise tour of Taj Mahal and day visit to Agra - I can't say enough good things about my sunrise tour of the Taj Mahal and Agra in general. Both Vivek the guide and Gurmeet the driver met and exceeded my expectations. Vivek is very knowledgeable and easy to understand as well as get along with. Gurmeet was as efficient a driver as one could hope for. The stops after the Taj Mahal were well worth it and just icing on the cake. If you are going to visit the Taj, sunrise is the time to do it and I couldn't have hoped for a better guide and driver than these two. That being said.... Gurmeet the driver was waiting for me when I walked out the hotel front door at 2:55am for a 3am pickup. Car was extremely clean, comfortable, well cared for and well stocked with water and snacks for the 3 hour ride. It was dark on the way to Agra, Gurmeet let me nap but was more than willing to answer any questions I had. Arrived in Agra at 5:40am and picked up Vivek, my guide for the day. We went straight to the Taj and arrived just before 6am. We were number 6 in line to enter so when it opened up we were able to get some incredible shots of the Taj in predawn light and without a lot of tourists in the foreground. They look like picture postcards or that I am on the grounds all by myself. Vivek was thoroughly knowledgeable about the Taj and made great suggestions about where to get the best shots. He kept a comfortable pace and I wasn't rushed at all. If I had a question he was happy to answer until I understood. By the time we left I felt I had gotten more than my monies worth. In addition to the Taj we visited the Red Fort, Akbars tomb, and Itimad-Ud-Daula's Tomb otherwise known as the baby Taj. At all the stops Vivek gave a thorough and detailed tour but it was never rushed and I was given plenty of time to stop and take pictures or ask questions. Additional stops were at a small shop where I was shown how the semi-precious stones were carved into the marble at these monuments. Also a small souvenier shop where the proceeds benefit the victims of the 1984 Bhopal incident. At both places I was afforded the chance to look around and purchase items but I was never rushed or pushed to buy anything. I felt everything was fairly priced at both locations. Breakfast and lunch were included on the tour, served at two different restaurants. Both places served excellent food and I did not have any nagging worry about having an upset stomach, nor did I. I would recommend both to anyone if they asked. We made an extra stop on the other side of the river where the second Taj Mahal was to be built and got some good shots of the actual Taj Mahal from that location. At the end of the tour, after lunch Vivek excused himself and Gurmeet drove me back to the hotel with no delay. He had extra bottled water in the trunk and made a comfort stop on the way back at my request. Again, 5 stars for these two and a delight to spend the day with. If you are going to Agra to see the Taj, sunrise is the time to do it and you will have a great day if you ask for these two in particular.
