Private 2-Day Tour to The Taj Mahal and Agra with Both Side Commercial Flights
"This tour was a great last minute option for us as it provided for everything end to end. From the minute we left our Pune hotel to the minute we arrived back we were guided - except obviously on the airplane. The pick up in Delhi airport was waiting and Prem our driver gave us a fantastic welcome, including flower leis and snacks for the road trip to Agra including beers and water. Our tour guide Mahesh joined us in Agra and the he provided a very detailed knowledge and understanding of the Taj and its history. Starting early the next day made all the difference particularly with the crowds. He has a real passion for the city and being a local and part of the culture makes a difference. The shopping was good as well and it gives you the opportunity to experience some of the history of the arts and crafts of that era. Just be weary that if you express the least bit of interest in an item the sales men willl force it on you. Dont be afraid to force a haggle. One item went from 2400 to 1000 and you can potentially go lower buy walking away. All in all it is a very efficient, easy and safe way to get around Agra. On the way back as we wanted to visit a few places in Delhi the guide was ok for us to get lunch on the go from anywhere included in the trip so we could do that which is the part of the beauty and flexibility of the Indian people. Pick up from the hotel a bit earlier in Pune would have seen us be able to factor in a few other things into Delhi or relax a bit more when we arrived in Agra. Be prepared for a very active 48 hours but well worth the trip. Even Raj, the travel coordinator kept tabs on us the whole way via WhatsApp making sure we arrived after flights and to hotels every step of the way. He was also in constant contact with the tour guide and driver making sure everything was fine all the way to arrival back at your Pune hotel. Thanks Raj, Mahesh and Prem we had a great time and look forward to the next experience."..."

"We really enjoyed this! The driver picked us up from our hotel in Kochi on time, and when we arrived in Aleppey, our boat was already waiting for us. We had the boat all to ourselves. The guide/boat driver was very friendly, and we spent about 3 hours enjoying the beauty of the backwaters. The boat is a sort of motorized canoe, much smaller than the famous houseboats, but still perfectly comfortable, with the added advantage that you can go into the smaller/narrow canals (definitely the prettiest part of the backwaters as far as we are concerned!). We had some doubts about booking this trip since it did not have many reviews on Viator, but we are so glad we did. Definitely recommended."..."
