I had a long layover in Delhi and decided last-minute to squeeze in a Taj Mahal visit — something I wasn't sure was even possible in the time I had. The team put together a tight but realistic schedule for me. Ajay drove efficiently and kept me updated on timing throughout, which put my mind at ease. My guide Abdul moved us through the key highlight quickly but without ever feeling rushed, and made sure I understood the significance of what I was seeing. We got back to the airport with time to spare. I honestly didn't expect to fit this in, and I'm so glad I did.

Reviews
Six of us booked this as part of a friends' reunion trip, and coordinating a group that size could have been a headache, but it was completely stress-free. Firoz arranged a spacious, comfortable vehicle for all of us, and Ajay navigated Delhi traffic and the highway to Agra without any issues. Our guide Ali kept the whole group engaged, balancing everyone's questions and pace without leaving anyone behind. He also knew great spots for group photos in front of the Taj Mahal. Lunch afterward gave us time to relax and swap stories from the day. Great option for anyone traveling with a group of friends.
We were worried our Taj Mahal visit would be ruined by the monsoon rains, but it turned out to be one of the most memorable parts of our trip. Ajay drove carefully despite the heavy rain, and we never felt unsafe on the road. Our guide Ali met us with umbrellas ready and adjusted our route to minimize time outdoors between stops. Seeing the Taj Mahal in the mist gave it an almost dreamlike quality, and Ali made sure we still got beautiful photos despite the weather. Lunch afterward at a cozy local restaurant was the perfect way to warm up. Proof that even a rainy day can turn into a special memory with the right guide.
As a solo traveler, I was a bit nervous about arranging a day trip to Agra on my own, but this put me completely at ease. Ajay was punctual and drove carefully the entire way, which made me feel safe throughout. My guide Abdul met me near the entrance and was respectful and informative, giving me space to take photos while sharing great historical context whenever I had questions. He also pointed me toward a good, safe spot for lunch nearby. Everyone made the day feel easy and comfortable — I'd recommend this tour to any solo traveler.
This was one of the best organized tours I’ve ever taken. Our driver, Harish, kept the car spotless and ensured a smooth ride from Delhi to Agra. At the Taj Mahal, our guide Rohit (not me!) was engaging and full of fascinating stories about the Mughal era. He also took excellent photos for us. The visit to Agra Fort was equally impressive, and lunch at a local restaurant was delicious. The team’s attention to detail and hospitality made the day unforgettable.
We booked this private day trip to Agra from Delhi and couldn’t be happier. Our driver Sanjay picked us up early from our hotel in a very comfortable AC car. The journey was pleasant with good music and cold AC. Our guide Priya joined us near Agra and gave us an excellent tour of both the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. She was very knowledgeable, patient with our questions, and helped us get beautiful photos without the crowds. We also visited an artisan shop for some souvenirs. The lunch arranged was tasty and refreshing after a long morning. Everything ran perfectly and we were back in Delhi by evening. Excellent service!
Ramesh and our driver Manoj made our day trip from Delhi to Agra truly memorable. Manoj arrived right on time at our hotel with a clean and comfortable air-conditioned car. The drive was smooth and relaxing despite the traffic leaving Delhi. Our guide, Ramesh, was fantastic at the Taj — he explained the architecture and love story behind it with so much passion. He also took us to Agra Fort, where he shared incredible historical insights. We stopped at a local marble workshop afterward and enjoyed a delicious lunch. The entire experience felt premium and well-organized. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a hassle-free trip!
I had only one free day in Delhi, and this tour was perfect. The driver, Sanjay, picked me up right on time and made the journey smooth and relaxing. At Agra, our guide Neeraj joined us and provided priority entry to the Taj Mahal, which saved a lot of time. His knowledge and storytelling made the visit unforgettable. Lunch at a 5‑star hotel was delicious, and the team adjusted the schedule so I could return early for my evening commitments. The professionalism and flexibility made this tour ideal for travelers with limited time.
I booked this tour because I had only one free day in Delhi, and it turned out to be the highlight of my trip. Arjun, our guide, was engaging and full of interesting stories about the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. Deepak, the driver, ensured the journey was smooth and efficient. Since I had to catch a bus later in the evening, they both adjusted the schedule perfectly so I could see everything without feeling rushed. Their flexibility and professionalism made the day stress‑free and memorable. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Agra, especially if time is limited.
Since I had limited time in Delhi, this private tour was the perfect choice. The driver Sunil picked me up directly from my hotel and ensured a stress‑free journey to Agra. My guide Vikram joined us near the Taj Mahal and arranged priority entry, which saved a lot of time. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the visit truly memorable. Lunch at a luxury hotel was excellent, and the staff adjusted the schedule so I could return early for my evening flight. The comfortable car ride back allowed me to relax before heading to the airport. This tour is ideal for anyone with a tight schedule.
On my final day in India, I wanted a hassle‑free trip from Delhi to the Taj Mahal without worrying about transport. The driver collected me directly from my hotel and provided a smooth, private ride of about three and a half hours. Near the monument, my guide joined us and arranged VIP entry, sparing me the long queues. He was exceptionally kind, attentive, and made the visit thoroughly enjoyable. After exploring, we had a lavish buffet lunch at a five‑star hotel—easily one of the best meals of my stay. Since I had an evening flight, I asked to finish the tour earlier, and they adjusted everything seamlessly before dropping me back at my hotel. The air‑conditioned return journey gave me time to relax before traveling. For anyone short on time, this tour is an ideal choice.
Best tpur operator in agra tajmahal sightseeing with guide and agra fort click a good picture for me
Have a breakfast in the train and enjoy the ride and train ride and ejoyed the trip
Best tour in short duration and guide was knowledgeable and make our day on our celebration day
Great guide and good train experience including all food arrangements. The guide was very knowledgeable. All in all a great trip
The communication on this trip was excellent. We received a text from Deepak that he would pick us up at the hotel at 6:45. Arrived at train station where he helped us board the train to Agra. Arrived Agra to be met by Harish, our guide, and Amit our driver. Spent the day at Taj Mahal and Agra fort where Harish explained the history. Had a stop at the marble factory and an excellent lunch. Harish helped exchange money at a very good rate. Amit’s driving was excellent as the rules of the road here seem to be free flowing. Harish got us back on the train at 5:30 and Deepak met us to return to hotel. All along the way the communication was superb. Highly recommend the day out.
Amit picked me up at Agra airport and took me to my hotel. The next day, after my tours, he took me shopping to different bazaars and stores. The following day, he drove me to Fatehpur Sikri and, after the excursion, dropped me off at the airport. He not only looked after me like an brother, but also connected me with excellent guides who accompanied me on all my tours and shopping trips. I would 100% recommend Amit if you're visiting Agra.
Amit Kumar ji took our family around in Agra to visit all the polular spors including The Taj Mahal. He was very polite, always arrived on time and drove safely. Overall we highly recommend Amit ji for your travel needs across Rajasthan, Delhi-Agra and UP areas. We will definitely use Shivanoes travels in future.
Best English speaking guide in Agra, came to know about Tajmahal & Agra fort and he clicks a very Picture for us. Barbeque Restaurant, best for lunch and Local handicrafts of pietra dura works. Overall great experience, Highly recommend haresh guide.
Professional and knowledgeable english speaking guide for this tour, Click the pictures for us, he know the best points inside the Tajmahal. Our train was delayed but still he remain with us without extra charge. Shopping of carpets and marble inlay items was purchased at Good price.
Good trip. Nice way to see the Taj Mahal. Lunch was nice and good guys. Knew the whole story behind all the activities Driver was nice too
The guide was very knowledgeable of Taj Mahal and the fort. However he took us to a high end marble top store a rug store and tried to take us to a jewelry store where we were given a demonstration and a high pressure sales job. When I told him I didn’t want anymore sales pitches he became very withdrawn. He took us to eat a buffet and told us he would pay for it but we had to pay for our water(I thought we’d paid for that ourselves when we booked) he spent more time getting us to try to buy merchandise than on the tour. I honestly expected better from Viator
The arrangement done were fantastic. We had Innova Crysta HYCROS booked for us to drive from Delhi to Agra and back. Driver was very nice and helpful. Car was clean and well maintained. For the Guide, he was at par with any international guides with all the information on hand with good photography skills too.
Travel Agency made my trip easy and stress-free. Their team was helpful and planned everything perfectly. The hotels and transport were well-organized. They listened to my needs and gave great suggestions. I would definitely book with them again!
Shivanoes Travel gave us an amazing experience! Everything was smooth, well-planned, and super professional. From easy bookings to great customer support, they made our trip hassle-free and memorable. Highly recommended for a stress-free and enjoyable journey! 😊✈️
The gatiman express was late by 2 hours and while returning was late by 3 hrs. In between the 9 hrs pathetic train experience the 64k (2 adults 2 kids) foreigner rip-off trip that I mistakenly signed up for cut short the itinerary to baby Taj Mahal and Agra fort , instead of a so called five star restaurant promised in the brochure took us to a pretty basic buffet and taking advantage of late arrival of train instead the guides filled last 3 hrs of the trip to carpet and marble handcraft stores to get their commission. It was a rip off. The guide did not even take us through a priority lane , I am not sure if one exists , his method was to push and cut thru the line by force and hope he gets lucky if one of his buddy security officer is at post. Shame on tripadvisor and Viator for promoting this. Although I am an Indian, this is my first time to Agra and as an NRI I thought I would give it a try. Mainly because the promoter timeline with fast train - reaching Agra by 10 am was lucrative option, Gatiman ticket was not available from booki site so I thought going thru this tour will be one way to travel via the fast train to meet all the timelines. Turns out, it was overpromised and underdelivered. For folks who is reading this review if you feel the money seems to high for a Day trip in India, you are right, find another option for Agra.
We hired a private driver to travel from Agra to Jaipur as we wanted to visit the Chand Baori stepwell along the way, which would have been challenging to do by train. Amit is an experienced driver who went out of his way to make our journey both enjoyable and informative. Since we were very satisfied with his service, we also booked a full-day private tour of Jaipur with him. I would recommend Amit, as he is very friendly and nice person who will do your trip unforgettable.
Amazing trip! Guide Singh was very informative and has fun tidbits to tell along the way! They also set you up with drivers both in Delhi and Agra which makes the trip that much better.
Our guide Psrajput did an amazing job of touring us in Agra. He made the Taj come alive with his explanation and description of this amazing building. He took some amazing pictures of us that will help to keep our memories alive. He also gave us detailed information and history of the Red Fort. We really enjoyed our experiences and would highly recommend our guide (Singh)!!
We really enjoyed our trip! We were well taken care of and the tour guide was great at expediting our entry process (especially in places with otherwise long lines) and showing us the highlights. As it was a private tour, everything was very flexible depending on where we wanted to spend time, and the team was able to accommodate transport for a few people in our group going back to the airport early while the rest of us continued. We had a small hiccup where we booked 1st class train tickets when none were available; however, they were able to sort out a refund for us very quickly and we were happy with resolution. The morning train we were on was unfortunately delayed an hour due to fog so would keep in mind the scheduling may change. Overall would suggest going with this company. They were easy to coordinate with and available over WhatsApp. Thanks for a great day! 🙂
A truly unique experience. A must see Taj Mahal that inspired me of how my own mausoleum should look like. Agra Fort full of surprises. Both stories told with insight of the knowledgable Mr. Singh. Don't miss out when in this part of India.
This was a 5 star trip hand held all the way with fantastic friendly staff Farid our guide was amazing such a nice person with great knowledge and would totally recommend
The trip was amazing! The tour guide was amazing! Everything we saw and learned was wonderful. My transportation was coordinated seamlessly. We had support every step of the way. And our guide made our day. Absolutely amazing! You should definitely do this.
We had an incredible journey from Delhi to Agra, everything was well planned and smooth. Our guide, Pushpendr Singh, made it truly unforgettable. His extensive knowledge about the history and culture of the area was impressive, and he knew all the best photo spots, ensuring we captured some stunning memories. Highly recommend this tour and especially Pushpendr Singh for anyone looking to explore Agra!
Totally recommend. The Taj Mahal tour was seamless. Rishab made this experience even better. My recommendation is- ask for Rishab by name.
We had a great time visiting all the moniments. Our guide, Amur was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Our driver, Mohit was great at navigating all the streets and busy traffic. Amur took many great photos for us and arranged a great lunch for us.
The views were amazing …great staff Things are properly organised.. no issues in travelling. Comfortable seats and travelling
I had an amazing experience. The whole experience was incredible! The Taj Mahal is truly one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, and its intricate details are mesmerizing. For the best and most scenic views, visit either early in the morning or in the evening when the light creates a stunning atmosphere.
I had trip of Delhi to utrakhand Before the i thought it will though but because ofthis application the journey was comfortable and relaxed.
Visiting the Taj Mahal was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all my expectations. The grandeur of this architectural masterpiece is even more impressive in person than in photos. The symmetry, intricate marble inlay work, and the serene gardens create a breathtaking atmosphere that feels almost otherworldly. We arrived early in the morning to catch the sunrise, and it was worth the early wake-up. The soft golden light on the white marble was simply magical. The crowds were manageable at that hour, allowing us to explore the grounds and take in the details without feeling rushed. The guided tour was informative and engaging, offering fascinating insights into the history and symbolism of this iconic monument. It’s clear that the Taj Mahal is not just a testament to architectural prowess but also a profound symbol of love. The surrounding area has plenty of amenities, and the local vendors were friendly and not overly pushy. However, be prepared for a bit of hustle and bustle as the day progresses. Overall, the Taj Mahal lives up to its reputation and is a must-visit for anyone interested in history, architecture, or simply experiencing one of the world’s most beautiful landmarks. Don’t miss it!
