Our Taj Mahal tour was an unforgettable experience, but what happened during the visit made it truly mysterious. The Taj Mahal was breathtaking, especially in the quiet morning atmosphere. Our guide shared fascinating stories about its history and architecture. I Highly Recommended This Taj Mahal Tour.

I had an amazing experience with Ravi and our driver Sanjay on our Agra tour from Delhi. Ravi was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and detailed throughout the entire day. He explained the history and significance of each site in a way that was engaging and easy to follow, and he paced the tour perfectly — we spent just the right amount of time at the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and Baby Taj without ever feeling rushed or bored. Ravi also knew where to take the best photos! Sanjay was also excellent. The car ride was very comfortable, especially considering the long day and early morning pickup, and we always felt safe and well taken care of. The traditional breakfast was delicious and a great addition to the experience. Overall, the entire tour felt very smooth, personal, and thoughtfully organized. Highly recommend Ravi and Sanjay to anyone visiting Agra and the Taj Mahal!
I had an amazing experience visiting the Taj Mahal with Ravi as our guide. His knowledge of the history and architecture made the tour special and he explained everything in a clear and engaging way. Ravi was professional, friendly and made sure we had the best photo spots and avoided the crowds where possible.
Ravi is an excellent guide! He is an enthusiastic historian who loves to share his knowledge. We had a wonderful day with him visiting the Taj Mahal. We were treated to a delicious lunch and visits to local artisans. If you can arrange a tour with Ravi, you will enjoy his warm, kind manner and really enjoy the sites!
Ravi was an excellent driver! Great experience on our 12 hour day trip to Agra. We saw the Taj Mahal and the Agra red fort well worth the trip.
My family and I had a great experience, I could not recommend you enough! Everything was organized so good, in detail. I am happy I have chosen your services and will recommend you to my friends, for sure.
Amazing experience, a must do! Exploring the city in this guided tour You get to see the city from a different perspective, with great vibes and plenty of interesting stops along the way. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city!
My colleague and I had a wonderful experience visiting the beautiful Taj Mahal. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable anbout its history. The pickup, drive there and drop off was seamless. Delicious buffet lunch at a beautiful hotel. Once in a lifetime trip. Highly recommend.
Was a great and special experience! Thank you for a great tour. Would highly recommend to others 100%. Loved it - thanks again.
Nazim and the driver Verru were amazing! Nazim helped take the most beautiful pictures of us. It was a fantastic experience and went smoothly. Picked up from the airport for the sunrise tour.
Tour was very good. We were able to expedite many lines. Nazim was our guide and he took amazing photos. Seeing the Taj Mahal at sunrise was very memorable.
Day trip to Taj Mahal was very good and enjoyable.. It was great, and the guide was competent, informative and very good. Thank you very much, highly recommended!!!
Had the best day with Nazim. The organisation and communication was incredible. And really easy to plan. As two solo female travellers we felt really safe and welcome. Everything was seamless. The driver was lovely super comfortable car and drive with water and snacks and pick up in between the Taj Mahal the red fort and an incredible market I needed to g get some things they brought me to a store for that. 10/10 reccomend
Amazing experience with Nazim visiting Taj Mahal, Agra and an extra last minute spot. Highly recommend this trip ✨🙏 Driver was so patient too
Our experience with Classic Tours India was wonderful. We had a great time seeing the Taj Mahal and enjoyed the second-monument Agra Fort as well. The car was very clean, and Ravi, the guide, was excellent. I advise anyone who wants to take the private Taj Mahal same-day tour from Delhi to do so.
Classic Tours India (the tour company) was great. They were well organised from the start. I received WhatsApp messages before the tour informing me the tour guide and driver's name (the guide was Farmann and driver was Gurmeet) and contact details. They were on time, friendly and spoke English well. The car was air conditioned, clean and comfortable. We were provided bottled water during the day which was great because of the hot weather. Farmaan was very knowledgeable and patient as I took many photos of Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. He is also an excellent photographer! Lunch was a buffet at a 5 star hotel. Food was good and also included local dishes to try. Overall, the tour was a great experience. I would recommend Classic Tours India!
Rahul is really well organised. I received a prompt response at a reasonable price. Ravi, our tour guide, took us on a tour of the Taj Mahal. He was fantastic! He was also really well-informed and entertaining to listen to. We were blown away by the trip and were really delighted with it. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. This tour comes highly recommended from me.
What an amazing g tour of a lifetime. Booking was easy and very prompt return and communication. We used WhatsApp. I felt well taken care of as a solo traveler throughout the tour. This tour is highly recommended!! BK, my driver, picked me up at hotel in Dehli promptly at 6am in a very mice and clean vehicle. He offered to stop along the 3 hour journey for washroom and refreshment breaks. The rest stop we went to was well maintained and bathrooms were good. It had a coffee/tea shop and also food. Highlight of the drive in was seeing monkeys as they crossed the road and also the beautiful agricultural fields. BK was very friendly and went out of his way to make sure I had all I needed and was comfortable on the ride. He also organized that I would have an umbrella in case of rain on the tour. Once arriving in Agra, I met my guide Farmaan. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. He had grown up in this area as well so I felt happy to have a local person guiding the tour. We all drove close in to the Taj Mahal and then BK dropped us for a short walk to the electric car that takes us close in to the entrance. Because this tour books everything ahead of time, there was little wait and Farmaan took care of everything with the tickets and helped to guide me at security screening. I did not have to worry about anything to whole tour. Once inside, we saw the beautiful park and entry gate to the Taj Mahal. The tour was breathtaking and pictures cannot describe. We stopped for pictures at the gate while entering and seeing the beautiful Taj Mahal. Farmaan helped me to take photos at the best places and he was excellent with the camera!!! We walked along the fountains and he suggested great photo locations and shared all about the grounds and the building of the Taj Mahal. Once arriving to the steps of the Taj Mahal, he organized shoe covers for us and had the ticket ready for entrance. He pointed out many architectural details on the outside of the building as we walked in. It was breathtaking. I cannot say enough how impressed I was with this tour and the the knowledge of my guide. Even upon leaving the park we walked through the little rooms that make up the structure attached to the welcome gate so I could really experience the whole park. Next off we met driver BK promptly and went to the Agra Fort. We got dropped off right at the entrance and again no line to wait as everything was pre organized. We entered the fort and Farmaan did a top notch job to describe about the fort, it’s history and architecture. Pointing out things from the brick that was used, why certain thing like the sloping entryway and walls were built that was, to highlighting the small windows that were used at the entry door to throw rose petals down for when women would enter. Once arriving through the gate we went through the grounds and each part of the structures and Farmaan did excellent helping me to understand about the building of the structure, how it was used, history and culture of that era. Highlights of the tour were seeing the actual bathtub (more like a plunge pool), the amazing detail to the fort - no designs are repeated for the gates and wall decor (was fascinating to me the vision the architect had), and seeing the Shah’s bedroom design including the windows that were build to help beep the room cool. They grounds were made up of a very intricate and manicured design, made me think of the parks like Versailles or Catherine’s Palace. And my guide did an amazing job to answer all my questions. At the end of the tour we went to a carpet demonstration. I had been to one before and thought I knew what to expect. The owner was so kind and his team really made me feel welcome with no pressure. In watched the whole process and even participated. I learned that they are now producing the carpets through local co-ops. In the end I got a fantastic offer on a beautiful rug that will be the souvenir of a lifetime. I felt no pressure to buy it, and just enjoyed the experience of learning, immersing in the culture and the fun of negotiating. Finally the day ended with a lunch at very nice hotel. We stopped at a Marriott. The dining room and buffet were excellent. Farmaan walked me through to make sure I knew what the dishes were as well. After lunch we chatted a bit about the day and I could ask him any questions about the trip or India in general. He was always kind and knowledgeable and we both shared how we love to travel. The BK picked us up and we said good bye to Farmaan, who invited me back to visit India again. The return was 3 hours to Delhi and I had a very comfortable ride with a washroom stop along the way. I arrived back to my hotel after a 12 hour amazing tour. Thank you so much!!!!
I recently used this service for my aunt who was travelling alone. It was wonderful. Everyone was really professional and assisted at every step of the process and made her feel at ease. I definitely recommend them if you are looking for some assistance while travelling alone.
A wonderful journey and a lovely experience. Our tour guide Ravi, he was really courteous and educated, and he made us comfortable and gave a great insight to the Taj Mahal & Agra Fort's history. Had a fantastic time and will remember the memories. Highly recommended tour.
I am so thankful to trip advisor for this amazing and beautiful trip. My experience was actually the best among all in my entire life. What I truly love the most is friendly nature of tour guide. I felt like I was with my family or close friend. I must say there services are the excellent one. One who has booked their trip from trip advisor, I can bet nobody regret. It’s actually the one of the best company we can trust. Those who are planning to go for a tour or trip, they should try it for once. I would highly recommended for everyone who loves travelling and even they wanna go for their holiday they should get their services from trip advisor . Again thanks a lot for such an awesome trip♥️
We had a great tour of Taj Mahal and Agra fort after Lockdown. We were picked up by a driver Mr. Gurmeet from our hotel at 7:00 AM and he was on time and he wear mask and hand gloves. He has great and very knowledgeable, and communication skill as well. and drive very smooth and carefully. we reached Agra around 10:15 and meet our tour guide Mr. Ravi near the Taj Mahal. He also followed Government Guidelines like Social distancing and wear Mask. He was very nice guy and knowledgeable. He was extremely helpful, kind and explained the story of the Taj Mahal in a really fascinating and exciting way ! We enjoyed our trip! Highly recommended this tour
We were picked up on time in Delhi, in a very comfortable car, with Wi Fi and A / C In Agra, Farman was waiting for us, who made a tour of the Taj Mahal and Fort Agra, explaining everything to our surprise in a good Spanish (we were Peruvians and Colombians) We enjoy so much the lunch, in a nice Restaurant We really liked the security we felt on the tour We recommend it a thousand times.
A fantastic experience, only ruined by amount of so called guides & so called official photographers. We arrived just on sunrise. Everything was worth seeing the Taj Mahal, an experience you will never forget. Be prepared to haggle for souvenirs in the local shops & for a souvenir booklet. Highly recommended!
What a wonderful day! I knew this would be an amazing trip, but the day exceeded my expectations! Being a solo traveler, I was a bit nervous but was quickly at ease once with the driver and tour guide. The Agra Fort was a wonderful addition to visiting the Taj. It was a remarkable day, would highly recommend!
Amazing tour organised for us. Our driver picked us on time and was very professional. He went over and above for us to make sure that we were comfortable and answered all our questions about India and the tour. Our guide was very professional and very knowledgable about the Taj and the Agra fort. We were well looked after and definitely felt like we had a very informative trip to Agra. I would recommend this trip to everyone. A smaller group always ensures you have additional information and care along the way. Thank you to everyone who helped create an amazing experience for us.
I organised a day tour with Classic Tours India when i was in Australia. Great response via Whatsapp. They did ask for a deposit via paypal but were very organised, sending a confirmation email and contacting us a day before with all the tours details including driver name, guide name, car plate number and phone details. My second time to the Taj Mahal and i would recommend sunrise if you can wake up at 3am! You'll get the magical mist in the morning and an hour later a clear sky. Have lunch at Bon Barbeque!
An amazing and interesting trip to Taj Mahal and the red fort. Very friendly and polite guide Rahul who had lots of funny and interesting facts. Answered our questions and showed us some great locations for photos, even help to take some photos on us. The whole trip was very well managed and organized. Our driver Gurmeet was the best and took us to Starbucks on our way there, felt like he was our own bodyguard in a busy New Delhi and Agra. He also managed to make us feel very safe even though there was a lot of fog during the drive there.
We traveled. From Cape Town South Africa and highly recommend the pre-booked tour as it is safe and professional and informative end to end. I think we would have been well lost without the support this tour provides it just worked perfectly. Huge thanks for making this part of our journey special and easy.
I had a 24 hour stop in New Delhi and I really wanted to see the Taj Mahal, so I signed up for this tour with nervous expectations. And, I was totally impressed! My driver, Paswan was early to pick me up from my hotel, which gave me great confidence in the day, and the fact that we had to drive to Agra with my luggage because I had to be dropped off the same day to fly out that night. When we arrived in Agra, we picked up Farman, who spoke excellent English. He give me an overview of the day and was incredibly knowledgeable about the Taj Mahal and the Agra Fort. He provided just the right amount of information to allow me to ask questions and understand the history without being overwhelmed. I was a little nervous about being a female and doing this round trip visit by myself, but felt completely comfortable. Thank you, thank you for an incredible experience !
Our day started at 7am. The driver was at our hotel promptly at 7 waiting on and ready to go. In the car he provided snacks as well bottled water. Along our drive, we stopped for a quick break about 1/2 way through the 3 hour drive. The driver brought me a delicious cup of tea. The drive was nice allowing us to see the countryside. When we arrived in Agra, we picked up the guide Farmaan. Farmaan was very welcoming and was very proud to share the history of his wonderful city with us. He was very efficient at the Taj Mahal as well as at Fort Agra in getting our tickets and into both monuments. He had very in depth knowledge of the area and the monuments and could answer all of our questions with ease as well as adding more detail. An additional item I appreciate is Farmaans phot skills and knowing exactly how to get the most perfect photos to allow you to make frame worthy photos. After the monuments we stopped to grab lunch which was a delicious buffet of Indian cuisine. Once lunch was complete, we said farewell to Farmaan and made the drive back to Delhi. Both Farmaan and Sunil were very professional and helpful. They made sure we were comfortable during the entire trip. I would highly recommend this service. The trip was easy to set up and provided exactly what was advertised.
Get your own private tour guide who is knowledgeable and on top of that he is a professional photographer. He took the best pics straight from my own phone. The only downside was that I spent way too much money at all the wonderful shopping stops he took me too. Just kidding. There was some very high quality handmade products from local artisans at reasonable prices. And for a female traveling alone I still felt very safe.
I visited arga with my friends. tour organised by Mr. ragul Rathor..he provided good car and very knowledgeable guide..momorabl experience with this tour.
The Taj Mahal is breathtaking, absolutely beautiful. Truly enjoyed this tour, driver and guide were both wonderful. I our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly a true delight. Thanks to him, we have amazing pictures that we will forever cherish.
My wife and I took the Taj Mahal Private Guided tour which included a car service from our hotel in Gurgaon to Agra, and included a private guide for a tour of the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort in Agra. The tour also included a visit to a local marble shaping art shop, and lunch at a local restaurant in Agra. The entire day was excellent and well organized. Our driver, Gurmeet, was prompt in his arrival, and ensured a comfortable ride for the entire trip. He provided plenty of water and snacks as well. The tour guide, Farmaan, was very knowledgeable and helpful in terms of taking us through the sites, and explaining their importance. Both our driver and tour guide were very helpful and pleasant, and made for a fantastic day. Based on our experience, I would highly recommend this tour!
