Looked after very well and felt safe with our tour guide!! - Our guide was excellent with a great attention to detail, he was very informative. We were three generations of girls and we were felt safe at all times. Our transport/drivers from place to place were very attentive and helpful, taking us to our train platform that we required. Without out all of the people involved in our day without doubt made it run smoothly and without them it would have been a much more stressful experience. I was with my 13yr old daughter and my 78 yr old Mother so for me having all these helpful people ensured our day ran smoothly was priceless.

Best guide ever! - A wonderful all day tour of Agra and the Taj Mahal. Mohamnad was extremely knowledgeable about the whole area and his presentation made history come alive for us. Salim was an amazing driver in the wild traffic.

Convenient trip - We had to catch an international flight at night. Hence we were looking for a time bound yet exciting day trip to Agra.
Opting for Gatimaan express instead of a car provided added excitement.
The overall service was excellent. Especially Ali's (to-fro hotel-Hazrat Nijamuddin) timeliness and Muhammad's (tour guide) services were invaluable.
One last advice: Please be generous on tips.
Overall it cost about Rs. 18,000.
