Enjoyable Taj Mahal and Agra visit. - What a marvelous day in Agra. As a solo women traveling for the first time in India, I couldn't have had a better experience. Hotel pickup and train to Agra went seamlessly. Guide, Farid Baig, and driver, Mubeen were professional, knowledgeable, efficient and fun. Lunch was excellent. The return trip to Delhi was as stress free as the morning. From start to finish, this was a great way to see some of the best Modern Wonders of the World.

Taj Mahal private car tour with Air conditioned Train ride from Delhi to Agra - I had a great time with this tour. I was impressed with the coordination and attention to details they spent on my trip to become successful. I got communication from Salamat clearly giving me details on the pick up place time and driver and car details. I was picked up by Raj in my hotel near the airport at 5am sharp and the driver even walked me up to my train seat. Abdul picked me up right on the train platform in Agra Cant station and welcomed me with a marigold garland. We were driven around Agra by our very own private car driver. A transfer to motor tuktuk and a block walk and we got to the Taj Mahal entrance in no time. Taj Mahal was even more beautiful to see in person. Totally unforgettable. Also Agra fort and Mini Taj Was great. Took lots of pictures. They brought me to Bon Barbecue for a delicious buffet lunch. I recommend this company. Thank you Salamat and Abdul!

Beautiful Taj Mahal and great guide! - We had a great day with Wasim and saw the beautiful Taj Mahal. Professor Wasim is a full time teacher of Mughal history so he taught us many things about all of the buildings we saw. He is also a terrific photographer and took lots of great photos of us! What a nice surprise. We highly recommend this tour and guide!!

Absolutely outstanding in every way - We've traveled many places and hired many tour companies, and I have to say that Saniya is among the best we've ever had. My wife, daughter and myself were staying in central Delhi, and we signed up for the 1 Day Agra Tour by Train. Prior to the day of the tour, Salamat emailed me our train tickets, seat information, and confirmation of our schedule. At 7:00am sharp, a driver picked us up at the hotel, drove us the 15 minutes to the train station, and walked us physically on to the train - found our car and seats and made sure we were settled before he left. Once in Agra, Salamat was there to meet us, got us in our Toyota Innova with a super cool driver, and we picked up our tour guide and off we went. Our tour guide (Khazmir?) was the Ansel Adams of Taj photography, it was like having your personal professional photographer all day - knew the best spots to go to, best angles, and would shoosh other people out of our pics. Awesome. Salamat met us again in the afternoon, made sure we were on the train, and off we went to Delhi. Another driver picked us up and took us back to the hotel, and we rolled in about 8pm. What a great day. Aside from the day itself, Salamat is a hard working guy who really takes care of his guests. He even recommended us a great TukTuk driver who picked us up the next day and drove us to the sites around Delhi. Seriously, could not have been better. Just a great experience.

Just amazing! - We got picked up at 7am by a driver who dropped us at the train station, he made sure we got on the correct train and showed us where we were sitting. Food on the train was average so make sure you eat before you get on the train. We then got picked up by Salamat the owner who was our driver for the day. He stopped at a nice hotel for me to use the toilet instead of the train station ones! We then met our guide Farid who had great english and was very passionate and informative about the places we visited. Taj Mahal was just incredible and I'm so glad we did a tour as Farid explained things to us we wouldn't have known if we just visited it on our own. He took photos of us, he pointed our details we wouldnt have noticed on our own, and he answered any questions we had. We then visited Agra Fort, and Baby Taj which were really good but not as good as Taj Mahal! We had lunch at a very nice restaurant called Pinch of Spice which was delicious and buffet. We also visited a gallery where we saw how they make all the detailing of gem stones that are inside the taj. We purchased a small elephant made of the same marble as taj with the gemstones for a reasonable price. Both Farid and Salamat never rushed us, they always made sure we had cold water and ensured we were happy! This day was the best day we had in India! Definitely recommend going by train as it's so much quicker and you get a real insight as to how the locals live by the train tracks!

Perfect way to see Taj and Agra sights - Highly recommend the Saniya day trip to Agra from Delhi on the express train. By car it's 3 hours or more depending on traffic but the train is a very comfortable 90 minute ride leaving at 810am and returning from Agra at 5:50pm. We were met at hotel, escorted and guided the whole way to and from train station and all day in Agra. That extra time on the ground in Agra instead of in a car means you can see the Taj, the Agra fort and the so-called baby Taj as well. The latter two sites are totally worth doing so don't skip them. And you also have time for a nice lunch and some shopping if you want. Farid was a great guide. His passion and enthusiasm for the history and beauty of these sites was genuine and infectious.

Agra/Taj Mahal one day tour via train - The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was also very helpful. The driver was good too and he got us there safe. The only issue I had was the pickup from the train back to our hotel because it was late and we couldn’t find the driver with a sign anywhere at the train station. We had to call the company but they were quick to answer and get the guy to where we were. We did see that the sign he had was just a small piece of paper with our names super small and written in pencil. Train station is sketchy and has horrible food on the train. The meal that the tour company provided for lunch was good. I didn’t like them taking us souvenir shopping at venues that were super overpriced and trying to sell us marble and some sewing for paintings but all tours seem to that. Overall though it was a good experience and the tour guide itself was very nice and did take some good pictures of us. The train is way faster than driving as traffic is horrible. However, the train station itself is crazy with the people that are there.
