Private Sunrise Tour To Taj Mahal From Delhi By Car

The driver was friendly and always happy to help. The guide was very well informed and spoke perfect Spanish. It was a memorable experience.

I had the pleasure of having Mr. Rishi as my driver, and I couldn’t be happier with his service. He is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, always punctual, and even offered a Wi-Fi hotspot, which was a great convenience. When I lost my passport, he went above and beyond to assist me, and I will forever be grateful for his help. Mr. Rishi is kind, honest, and truly an exceptional driver. I highly recommend him! For my visit to the Taj Mahal, I was also introduced to an amazing local guide, Ajmal, who made the experience even more special. He knew exactly where to go for the best views and took stunning photos for me, so I didn’t need to hire any photographers on-site. If you get the chance, I highly recommend asking for Ajmal.

Recommended Tour since even we arrived early in the morning (6:10 am) there was already a massive line waiting at the entrance. It must be horrible going there at noon (besides the high temperatures in the afternoon) We had a fine tour with our guide Guide Zohaib Mairaj. One Day before the tour he suggested to buy the tickets via internet which turned out to be the perfect advice since we could skip the ticket line the next morning at the Taj Mahal. Zohaib has excellent knowledge about everything regarding the Taj and Indian history. He also turned out to be a perfect photographer (you can really leave behind the „professional“ photographers that you encounter at the entrance offering their services at ridiculously high prices) Take your time to see everything at the Taj Mahal and walk around take tons of pictures and enjoy the scenery and magic of this unique site And of course the beautiful sunrise. The view from the mosque is great! After the Taj Mahal we drove paar the Agra Fort which - for us - was more impressive than going inside. The driver stopped at every fotospot whenever we asked him. Zohaib then lead us to two (work)shops that offer traditional handcrafts. The one where they process the marble (Taj-Mahal-Style) is really worth going even if the prices are very very very expensive. We ended up buying a small peace of marble with a nice gem inlay costing 4000 rupees (~50€). The second shop offered carpets, jewelery, clothing and music instruments. We really felt uncomfortable in that one and we were happy after leaving that shop not having bought anything. You can really leave out that stop. But there it is not the fault of our guide since he asked us wether we want to go there ist not. Conclusion: BOOK THAT TOUR - you will have an incredible view at the sunrise at the Taj Mahal with not too many people there. Visit the Marble Workshop (and buy a souvenir if you appreciate the handcrafting Skills) and leave out the other shops Last but not least: Our driver Ravi was there right in time at our Hotel. He is a calm and safe driver and He dropped us at the airport just as we wanted. Feel free to ask him ton stop at photospots (also on your way back to Delhi) PS: we tipped both with 700/500 rupees. They seemed happy.

Zuhaib was our tour guide and we had an absolutely amazing trip. Rajesh our driver met as at the airport on time and we slept on the way to Agra. Zuhaib joined us just before the Taj Mahal and told us all about its history and design. He also whisked us through ticket buying and security that would have been confusing alone. He knew all the best spots to go for a photo in front of the Taj Mahal! On the way back our driver Rajesh took us through a wonderful sweet shop. I highly recommend this tour and Zuhaib+Rajesh.

Went on a Sunrise tour with Danish (Tour Guide) and Ravi (Driver). Timing: Arrived on time with reminders leading up to tour. Was never in a rush to go anywhere. It was just take it as we go, no pressure. I ended up having to do work and they easily accommodated and Ravi even provided a hotspot! Driving: Ravi was very professional, with all of the timings, was there in time for pickup at all points. Was very easy going. Tour Experience: Initially I thought I was just going to get dropped off and picked up at my request but to my surprise I got a tour guide! I'm glad that I did because it's one thing to see the Taj Mahal which is beautiful on its own, but to learn about all of the little details in the construction and history of Taj Mahal and Agra, things that are easily missed (Symmetry, stones in the build, the complexity). We then went out to meet craftsman to see how the art that was put into the Taj was carried on. I really enjoyed this part as I would have not appreciated the details if I wasnt exposed to this. I'm a hands on person and I have alot of respect in the skills that I witnessed in the tour. Would definitely recommend a Sunrise tour. John

Our driver Ravi was excellent - on time, familiar with the roads and stopped at safe services. Our guide in Agra was Zuhaib and we cannot fault him. He was friendly, informative, took lots of great photos for us, and gave us time alone to enjoy the Taj Mahal after he showed us around - he was fantastic. We would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Agra. Sunrise is also definitely a good option as it was so much quieter and we didn’t queue at all!

Only stay two days in New Delhi before my trekking trip in Leh, so decided to do a one day sunrise trip to Agra. Chose this company after reading reviews. It's worth of getting up at 2am and the money! Rishi is the driver, the car is comfortable, clean with good air-condition, he comes on time to pick me up, tells me the schedule for the trip and very friendly, speak good English and know when to engaging in conversation with me, makes the one way three hour journey an enjoyable one. Deepanshu is my tour guide, very interesting to talk to and knows everything about the Taj Mahal& the Fort. As a solo female traveler, I feel safe, get the most enjoyment out from the trip! Highly recommend these two guys.

I really enjoyed the trip, learned very interesting pieces of history with the very well prepared guide Zuhaib and had very pleasent safe drive from Delhi with driver Ravi. I would definitely reccomend this also to women travelling alone.

I put my trust in Trip Advisor reviews, and the result turned out great. I decided to book this tour only 12 hours before pick up and I got the confirmation right away. They send you the name of the driver and phone information in case you need to clarify any items. My driver was Mr Rizwan Ji. He arrived to my hotel on time and we got on the road right away. Since pick up time was at 2:00 am and I was very tired of my flight I slept thru most of the way to Agra (3 hrs). Half way there, Mr Rizwan stopped for Indian tee and treated me with one (very good at that time of day) Our tour guide in Agra was Zuhaib, I was pleasantly surprised that he knew Spanish and also knew some other people from Mexico (where I'm from). He did an excellent job at explaining everything about Taj Mahal and Afra fort. During breakfast we talked about everything making the experience a one to remember. The tour exceeded my expectations and I decided to hire them again for a tour in Delhi the next day.

My colleague and I were flying to India for business reasons and wanted to take the opportunity to visit the Taj Mahal. Our plane arrived at Delhi at 1 am and we directly booked the one-day tour to Taj Mahal and the Agra fort that departs at 2am. Our driver (Rizwan) was already waiting for us at the airport when we arrived and drove us all the way to Agra. We stopped mid-way for a tea and to shortly stretch our legs and then continued to Agra where we picked up our guide (Danish) and drove to the Taj Mahal entrance. We arrived at around 6 am, just after at sunrise. Danish helped us with the tickets (separate lines and free water and shoe covers for foreigners) and then guided us inside. Once inside, he walked us through the different areas and interesting spots, and explained many facts about the place and its history. He took the time to show us the interesting spots for pictures and attended all our questions. We left at around 8:30 am they took us to a Cafe where we could have some breakfast. At 9:00 we continued to the Agra fort. It was unusally very hot and we decided not to walk inside. They drove us around the fort and stopped in a couple of places to take pictures. Danish kept examining the history and many details related to the building. Afterwards they took us to a couple of shops where they showed us the traditional ways of crafting marble and carpets and, as expected, had the opportunity to buy some souvenirs. This is almost unavoidable in any tour in India but it was interesting nonetheless and worth the visit. Finally we drove back to Delhi. The driver took us directly to our hotel. Overall a great experience. The Taj Mahal is a "must see" and the one-day tour from Delhi is very convenient and we'll organized. They arrange the pick up and drop off wherever works for you. The time (2am) may seem excessive but it gets you there at a time when the heat is still bearable and the number of tourists, although already high, still allows for nice pictures. And if you happen to arrive in Delhi at this time, as we did, it just fits perfectly.

Was promptly picked up in New Delhi by Ravi, had a pleasant three hour trip to Agra, and was shown a well done and comprehensive tour of the sights of Agra by Danish. Great value, would recommend to anyone visiting India.

We were picked up by Manvendra in Delhi at 230am and headed south to Agra. He came right up to where we were staying making it easy to connect. It was a smooth ride and we were able to catch a little sleep along the way. We met with Manu in Agra and arrived at the Taj Mahal as the sun was coming up, making it look spectacular. Manu was very informative about the history and life in general, explaining the little details we wouldn’t ha e noticed if we were by ourselves. It felt like we were talking with a good friend. Manvendra navigated the busy streets with ease as we drove around Agra Fort and learned about its history. We then stopped into a few shops and heard from local artisans and handiworkers about their crafts (inlay work, rugs, and gems). Manu kept us out of the heat and Manvendra provided a clean and cool car ride. Would recommend!

We were picked up promptly by Mr Manvender at 2.30am for our 3 hour drive to Agra. We felt comfortable and at ease in his car, despite crazy Indian traffic! We picked up our guide in Agra. We normally prefer to look around places ourselves than to have a guide. However this time we were very grateful for our tour guide who helped us navigate the streets leading to the Taj (you have to walk a bit rather than drive straight up to the gate), get our tickets, provide some interesting facts, and let us know the best place to take photos! The Taj Mahal is absolutely worth the early start and long drive - for those visiting from the UK/Europe, we went on the tour the day after we landed. It worked well because we were tired enough after our night flight to sleep at about 4pm and then get up for the 1.30am tour. We arranged breakfast ourselves at ITC Mughal although our guide also had suggestions for where to eat. The ITC has a very good buffet which was cool and relaxing after our busy morning - however it wasn't cheap. Afterwards we visited the Agra Fort (worth it for the intricate architecture and views of Taj). Finally we were taken to a marble shop - we didn't feel particularly pressured to buy anything and certainly it helped appreciate the work that went into the construction of the Taj Mahal. Overall, we would definitely recommend this tour company.

I had been to India on a short business trip and booked the Private Sunrise tour shortly before arrival to Delhi. My tour guide, Zuhaib was very informative, polite, and always acted professionally with great knowledge Agra's history and the magnificent Taj Mahal, whereas my driver Rizwan was very helpful, kindness and wonderful person who drove from Agra to pick me up in early morning from Delhi, around Agra then back to Delhi on 43 degree Celsius day. Both of them truly loves and cares about their job and present their company well. It's highly recommended to book for this tour, especially with great accompany of Rizwan and Zuhaib!

My driver was promptly at my hotel at 2:30 AM. We headed out of the city and made the long journey to Agra. Once on the expressway, you move quickly. My driver was Shailender Singh and my tour guide we picked up in Agra was Mamu. Mamu does a great job of teaching you the history. The subtle architecture features such as the leaning columns which would prevent them from falling on her tomb in the event of an earthquake. The scenery, native parakeets everywhere and monkeys round out this place. Going early beats the heat and the crowds. You'll be happy you woke for this early tour. Mamu takes time to really explain the beauty and history. He took countless, top notch photos of me in various places and poses around the site. He even pointed out some very historical graffiti inside the window of the Taj done by a British Soldier many years ago. Not a detail is missed in this tour. Stay as long as you want. Change it up as you like. This is how it should be. After, I decided to only drive by the Old Fort and opt into going to some of the handicraft stores. I was very impressed with the marble store and demonstration. What an amazing art! After we dropped Mamu off, Shailender asked if I wanted to see a leather factory store. I bought some gorgeous leather dress shoes at an incredible price. The drive back, he took me to some additional places around New Delhi. I was fortunate to take this tour.

Our trip to the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort were great. Although the ride to and from New Delhi to Agra is quite long, our driver, Ravi, was wonderful. He was kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and considerate. He receives 5.5/5.0 stars. Our review would have been a five star review if it hadn’t been for the following: our tour guide was equally as good. His English was perfect, and his knowledge was amazing. However, at the end of our tours, we were taken to two separate workshops, where under the pretext of learning how double knotted Persian rugs and inlaid marble are made, we were subjected to fairly aggressive sales pitches. This is nothing we asked for or desired, and as such, we were a little taken aback. With the exception of the above, the day was wonderful. John and Christiana

My wife and I decided to do a Taj Mahal tour for her birthday. We did some research and landed on this tour company. I had my concerns about the sunrise tour, as it required traveling from Delhi to Agra at night. My concerns turned to serious worries on the evening before our tour, as I read some news articles about gangs and looters operating on the Yamuna Expressway. One phone conversation with a tour company representative Nadeem or Imran (not sure) and most of my concerns were gone. Our driver Mr. Ravi arrived exactly at 2 AM. He was very experienced, polite and professional. He drove in a safe manner and his experience eased our tension. We were treated to treats and beverages on our 3 hour drive to Agra and we were able to catch some sleep in the car. When we reached Agra, we were greeted by our Tour Guide, Manu =) . He was also very experienced, polite, knowledgeable and very passionate about the tour. He knew just the right moments to explain and give us his insights and at the same time the space we needed as a couple to explore and bask in the beauty of the Taj Mahal. Manu treated us like old friends and made this tour a beautiful experience and memory we will cherish forever. If I was to change anything in this tour, it would be to spend a bit more time in the Taj Mahal. I would prefer a different restaurant, we had breakfast and lunch at the Trident and I would have preferred an Indian cuisine restuarant

I had to have a slightly different itinerary due to my flight times and the company accommodated my request with great flexibility. The drive, hotel and tour was awesome and very well organized. Zuhaib was my guide in Agra and made the experience even better. He was very knowledgeable and fun.

We initially hesitated to take the sunrise tour as it involved waking up at 2am to get a ride from Delhi to Agra but it was definitely worth it. Hardly any lines and very few people to deal with. The only "issue" we faced was that there was some fog in the photos but the Tan Mahal was still quite clear. Our tour guide, Zuhaib, was very knowledgeable and our drive was quite smooth. After the Taj Mahal we had a buffet breakfast at a nearby hotel that is popular among foreign tourists and the food was top notch (quite good for American standards, to be honest). We liked the fact that Zuhaib was upfront about all the details and was never pushy. After the Taj Mahal we went to the Agra Fort and then to some local art and gem shops to receive an education about the art styles used to create the Taj Mahal. I would certainly recommend the sunrise tour to anyone.

I went on the tour from New Delhi to Agra with a friend. They picked us up @ our hotel, Taj Mahal at the exact time as scheduled over the internet. They advised us since the beginning of our journey as per what would be the best timing to leave Delhi and how to proceed with everything to avoid the everyday crowds. That being said, the driver and the guide were always kind and respectful. The sightseeing included not only the magnificent tour on the Taj Mahal, but we hav also visited the Tomb of Itimad ud Daulah (the Baby Taj) and the Agra Fort. The guide had plenty of information on the construction and historical facts - we've dived into many considerations from political aspects from british rule to nowadays governement with a lot of class. The only thing that I would say was not very good is that there is a shop visit by the end of the tours when the local shop owners got a bit disapointed at us for we did not want to make any purchases (the prices are soaring high for the art shops we visited). But please do not be mistaken, this is not at all the crew's fault.

Rizwan, the driver, was on time to meet me at the hotel for the Sunrise Tour. The guide, Zuhaib, is a very person and I feel like I was being introduced to Taj Mahal and the area around by a friend. It was a really good experience as a solo female traveler with them accompanying me around. I had only one day to explore Agra after a business trip in Delhi, and I would say that it was a right decision to book a one day tour with them rather than going by myself with a train and exploring the area my own. The time was managed well and I would highly recommend this tour by this company.

I was picked up at New Delhi airport and driven down to Agra where I met my guide for the trip, Zuhaid Kahn. Zuhaid is an excellent guide and I would recommend him to anybody. In the afternoon of the first day he took me around the 'Mini' Taj mausoleum and the garden where the site of the 'Black' Taj was to have been situated to watch the sunset on the Taj itself. The next morning, on Zuhaids advice, I was up at 5.00 a.m. to get in to the Taj before the crowds and it was a fabulous visit. Later, after checking out of the hotel, we visited the Agra Fort and saw the view from the 'prison' and I was then driven back to Delhi to continue my trip. Overall a fabulous trip, well worth the money.

It's my first in India and I'm a female traveling solo so I was very apprehensive at first, especially since it involves a long drive at an odd hour of the day. I booked this tour primarily because of good reviews from other solo backpackers, and boy, did they deliver excellently. First, Imran was very responsive to my queries. Secondly, the driver, Madan was in the hotel the exact time he said he'll be there (accurate to the minute itself haha). He was very professional, and I had a nice comfortable ride with a chance to rest. He also provided water and gave me a nice chai since it's so early in the morning. Madan, the guide, was very informative and very friendly, and we covered a wide range of topics on Indian history and culture in general, on top of the usual information on the sights we were going. He was also very passionate about the places we went to, and it really added to the experience to have somebody who cares a lot that you see the places in the best light. For those who travel alone, you would know that one of the downside is you can't get a nice picture without having to pay a photographer or ask other tourist who may not be as accommodating. Madan led me to all the picture-worthy spots and gladly took pictures. He nailed a jump shot in Agra Fort on the first try!!! Before we left Agra, we dropped by a shop for marble inlays with a great demonstration of what it takes to create the art decors in a palace like Taj Mahal. There were great souvenirs for sale,including coffee tables and jewelry boxes, though I didn't buy any since I'm on a strict budget. Over-all, a great experience and it felt so much like traveling with a buddy who happens to know the places inside and out. There are cheaper options, but if you care about convenience, security and having a pleasant tour to accompany the magnificence of Taj Mahal, then this tour is worth every cent.

My friend and I decided to use this package because we were in Delhi and it provided return transport as well as being able to see the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. We could be picked up in the morning and return to Delhi by the afternoon as we only wanted to do a day trip to Agra as a day was all we were advised by friends that we would need to see the city. We arrived very early in the morning as was recommended by the tour package so that we could be some of the first people to arrive and this did not disappoint. We felt like we had the Taj Mahal all to ourselves as there was very few people which made it a great individual experience for ourselves. Danish was excellent in educating us about the history of the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, the rest of Agra city and some of the rest of the surrounding history in India which it would be hard to imagine other tour guides being as knowledgable, we were very impressed and would recommend this tour package to others.

I enjoyed a very well planned and organized day trip. Everything was on time and I appreciate that the tour was customized to my individual needs and interests. Driver Mr. Rizwan and guide Mr. Zeeshan were polite and friendly, as well as very capable in what they do. Taj Mahal is a must see in India and I enjoyed every minute and perspective of it! Would book the sunrise tour again to avoid the heat in summer, also the company would receive another booking from me. Recommended!

I cannot speak highly enough of my sunrise Agra day tour. My driver Rizwan was on time at 2am for pick up and the vehicle very clean. Met tour guide Zeeshan and he was fantastic! very knowledgable and had a great sense of humour which was great considering i was travelling alone. I was unsure who to go with when researching Agra tours but Trip Advisor reviews were spot on and the team were quick to respond to email enquiries and i am so happy with the result. Thanks for making an unforgetable day happen

Taj Mahal does not need an advertisement, it's a truly special place to visit. It was made even more special by my driver Manvender and the local guide Shakeel. Manvender is a great driver and his car was well kept and comfortable. He also made sure there were snacks and drinks aplenty for the long drive. Shakeel is a very knowledgable guide and told me lots of interesting historical facts about Taj Mahal and other sites we visited. Since I was on my own he also thoughtfully made sure I had enough pictures and he knew all the best spots for good views. The trip was well arranged with enough time at each site. I am glad I chose the sunrise tour not only because of the beauty of Taj in the morning but it was a great way to avoid at least some traffic.

This was a great trip for anyone wanting to see the Taj and do a bit of touring in Agra but only has a limited amount of time. Agra tours were very communicative and Ramesh, our driver, was prompt at picking myself and my colleague up for our tour. Ramesh was great and got us safely to all of our stops in a timely manner. The tour of the Taj and other points of interest were fantastic! Nadeem (our guide) provided a rich background and answered all of our questions. He was great to tour around with. I would highly recommend this package!!

I booked this trip for a buddy and I from their website while still in the US a few weeks before coming to India and the process was really smooth. We communicated via email, I even changed my pickup location and requested a guide that a friend has recommended and everything went off flawlessly. Our driver Mr. Manvinder was on time, extremely friendly, and very accommodating when we needed to stop along the way. Our guide Mr. Zuhaib was incredibly knowledgeable and was open to changing the itinerary to match whatever we wanted to do according to our timetable. He showed us all around Baby Taj, Agra Fort, and Taj Mahal. His english was impeccable so it was easy to communicate and we learned a great deal about Indian culture and history. I would definitely recommend this combination of company, driver, and host to anyone thinking about seeing the Taj. I would also say that if you're going make the sacrifice to get up early and see it at Sunrise, it was truly extraordinary in the early morning light.

I landed in Delhi at 10 PM. Since I wanted to catch the Taj Mahal sunrise, the driver picked me up at the hotel by 2 AM. We drive around 3 hours to Agra without any issue. The highway is very safe. When we arrived, (around 5 AM) we were the first 10 people on the line waiting to open the doors of the complex. Imran (the tour guide) was very kind and explained many details about the history of Taj Mahal. I had previously buy the access to Taj Mahal which is US $15. After Taj Mahal we visit the Agra Fort and made few stops to visit some local stores to buy souvenirs. I really recommend this company.

<p>I loved how it was starting very early in the morning. Since I had to get on the car at 2:30am, I was able to sleep in the car. When we got there, I was very tired but I did not need to focus or anything but enjoy and listen to the tour guide. My tour guide Zeeshan was amazing. I did not have a cash with me and he was willing to pay for my entrance fee. His knowledge on histories and religions were amazing too. <br/> I would definitely recommend my friends if they wanted to go to. <br/> People who did not go to sun rise tour would not understand this. It was not hot and sun was rising that Taj mahal was reflecting sunlights in beautiful ways and it was not eye hurting at all.<br/> If I was given a choice to go to Taj Mahal again ten times, I would choose sunrise tour ten times.<br/> After all you will arrive New delhi by 2:00pm then you have rest of the day. on the way back to NEw delhi, you will catch some sleep.</p> <p>Highly recommend!</p>

On our trip to India in summer 2022 we made the golden triangle: Dehli, Jaipur and Agra, in seven days. In it, we were accompanied by Ravi our driver and his Service was exceptional. Traffic in India is complicated, difficult and chaotic and the roads quite bad, most. However, we always felt safe in your vehicle, it was equally prudent and agile behind the wheel when the situation required it. The car, a Toyota Innova very comfortable, that every morning appeared clean and with a bottle of water for each (some days more than one). Its services included: Airport reception. Transfer to hotels and monuments. Contact with Spanish speaking guides. -Management of visits to artisans, shops, etc. Transfer to restaurants. Our trip was very comfortable at your side. In addition, he always responded to our requests with his characteristic kindness, his smile and always with an IMPECCABLE punctuality. Without a doubt, we recommend your services, throughout the trip we had no complaint or bad face or fault, despite the fatigue. And if we go back to India, we'll contact him. Thank you Ravi for your professionalism and good work.

I'm picking up the Mr Brijesh driver at 2:30am for delhi. The car was very clean, with air conditioning and rich smell. He, besides being an excellent driver was always very friendly, correct/respectful and very friendly. He offered you cold water at all times 😍. In agra we met with my guide throughout the tour, Mr Zuhain. Who told me about the history of taj mahal and other temples. Very polite, cordial and speaks Spanish perfectly!!!!! We had breakfast while he told me a little bit about Indian customs and his life experiences, I really liked that!!!! I also took all the pictures I asked for and showed me the best places to take! I have an unforgettable experience. Super recommended both! Thank you very much

I was relieved to see a message with driver information the day before. The driver was there before 2:30 and we left smoothly and came back around 13:00. There is a toilet break on the way to and from school. The essential guide spoke slowly and in easy-to-understand terms to me, and I could understand most of it. After visiting the Taj Mahal and Agra Castle, we stopped at a fancy cafe where we had a light meal (breakfast). Afterwards, we visited local craftsmen processing the Taj Mahal and learned about the process by which it was made. There was no pushover. On the way home, we stopped at a cheap and delicious shop on the way home for samosa, according to the driver. It was delicious. I was anxious at first because I was traveling alone, but I was able to sleep safely on the road, so I was able to be active well after the tour. When I asked if they could drop me off at Qutbuminar instead of at the hotel on the way home, they told me that they couldn't get there because it was outside the city, but if it was Humayun Mausoleum, they could. They even worried me that I should be careful if I was going to take a tuk-tuk to my hotel. Thank you for the good trip, the guide (I forgot his name...) and the driver (Ravi)! Thank you my guide and driver(Ravi)!
