Day Tour to Taj Mahal and Agra by Express Train from Delhi

  Day trip to Agra - The trip was excellent from start to finish. Rishi picked us up from our hotel on time. He was friendly and professional. He was accommodating and relaxed. Once we got... read more to Agra, our tour guide met us. Narindha was very knowledgeable, spoke good English, and helped us navigate lines and staff at both monuments. The lunch was a good buffet with both Indian and western cuisine. I would recommend going in for the lunch option as the tour of the Taj Mahal is quite comprehensive and we were pretty hungry once we finished there. Before heading to lunch. We were taken to a stone inlay craftsmanship shop. We saw demonstration that was interesting but it also felt a bit like a sales pitch . I would say this was my least favorite part but it was not a big deal.

Lunch was about an hour and it was in a nice hotel with clean restrooms and friendly staff. After lunch, we headed to the Agra Fort, which was also pretty impressive. We did not go to the Baby Taj as our timing was a bit short. It’s 3 hour drive each way so if you want to see all 3 monuments, I would advise you choose an early pick up time like 5 or 6am. At the conclusion of the tour, Narindha bid us a farewell in Agra, and our driver got us back to our hotel by 6:45pm. We started at 7:00 am from Delhi. It’s a full day so plan accordingly, and well worth the price. I highly recommend this trip.

  Vicky G is the man, he should get an award. Safe travel in a chaotic environment.  - Vicky G is the first word that should show up on this review. My experience was made possible by one man, and that’s Vicky. He safely picked me up in... read more Agra away from the chaos, transported me to my hotel each day and to the tours each afternoon, amazing trip experience.
I also had a great experience with the owner Amit who messaged with me and answered questions along the way.
India can be a daunting place to travel solo and this tour experience is worth every penny and makes you feel like you’re a real VIP traveller.
I could go into more detail about the incredible elephant ride, the beautiful Jaipur 5 star hotel or the last day in Delhi where we happened upon a Hindu temple and ceremony (breath taking). But mostly it was just Vicky who acted as a stellar guide and provided great conversation and recommendations.
(People should know ahead of time your driver will suggest places for you to shop, if you don’t want to y buy anything, you don’t have to. And if you do choose to buy something, just remember to negotiate. But it’s no more serious than that. Don’t be offended and Don’t feel put on the spot because Indian culture values barter over fixed prices, it’s not a slight to you).

  The TAJ  - Was picked up and dropped by the driver, who was a very friendly. The guide we had was also very knowledgeable and helpful especially with photo taken. Would recommend this... read more trip for anyone.

  Best Golden Triangle Tour and company in Delhi - This has got to be the best run and well organised Golden Triangle Tour in Delhi. Starting from first contact with the Owner Amit, you are assured of your journey... read more and he is available 24/7 to answer and questions and help in any way possible. Taking the 3, 4 or 5 day tour, the experience is all the same, Excellent with Professionalism through-out. I chose to stay 5* rather than 4* as there is very little difference in price.

My driver Rajinder was as good as you could get. He was skillful, careful and explained things to me aling the way. He always had water or drinks to offer and always included me in the days planning. This really is a personalised tour, you can chop or change any part of the suggested itinerary and even exclude any stops you don't want to do. There is absolutely zero pressure from the driver or the guides for you to do any of the shopping stops although they are always offered in case you would like to. All three of my city guides were excellent, well spoken and very informed about tge cities they represent. Naveen in Delhi, Arif in Agra and Mukesh in Jaipur, thank you all so much for making this a most memorable trip.

Entry fees are exactly as quoted in a welcome pack given to you when the driver picks you up. Tips are suggested to take away any concerns so you can budget. The guides help you to avoid street vendors who will try to sell you things you don't want. On the drive between cities, the driver stops for lunch. You can choose to eat or not eat. I found the stop between Agra and Jaipur to be pricey even for a foreigner, but tge food was very good as i chose to eat and try something local and different.

I met other visitors on both the 3 day and 5 day tour with Crystal India Holidays and i can safely say that no matter which one you choose to do, they all offered a high quality of service, were very interesting and educational and did not disappoint at all. I'm not sure how one could be disappointed after seeing the Taj Mahal, but Delhi and Jaipur have their own special attractions. Thank you to all for making my Solo trip feel as though i was travelling with family.

  Amazing tour!!!  - Really very well organized tour, allows you to see the best of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur in a safe and comfortable way. We chose the 5-day option (recommended in my... read more opinion) so as to have more time to see everything calmly. On the tour, you can choose the option with hotels included, which are really clean and have a good breakfast buffet. The guy who takes care of the organization (Amit) is available for any help and does an excellent job. Every day in a new city we had a different guide, all the guides gave us a lot of information and were very nice. For the 5 days, the driver was the same guy (Rajender) and he was always kind, thoughtful, and punctual. We are very happy that we chose this tour and recommend the tour 100%!
Thank you, we wish you the best! Francesca & Rubén
