Private Day Tour of Taj Mahal and Agra Fort By Superfast Train - All Inclusive

Had a great day with Nabeel and Jeetu exploring the amazing sites of Agra. All done very professionally. Highly recommended.

Great experience! The guide was very nice and pro. Excellent organization. Great places with an amazing history

We had an amazing day in Agra! We were picked up on time and escorted all the way to our train seats. Because we booked last minute, our seats were not together but our driver was able to rearrange seats with other passengers so we could, which we thought was very nice of him to do. Our tour guide, Nabeel, met us as we excited the train and took us directly outside to our waiting car. Nabeel was the perfect tour guide, very pleasant to talk to and gave us plenty of information and interesting facts as well as answered every question. He took many creative photos of us at several points along the way, too. The Taj Mahal was breathtaking and, after hearing about many design and construction details, even more awe-inspiring. We asked to skip the stop at the marble store as we were hungry and didn’t want to feel pressured to buy anything. Lunch was at a very nice hotel restaurant and was very tasty (and some dishes quite spicy!). The Red Fort and Baby Taj were also very interesting and beautiful and we were glad we decided to take a tour that included all three sights. Our final stop, the view of the Taj Mahal from across the river, proved to be the perfect ending as we were able to relax for 15-20 minutes and peacefully enjoy the amazing view one last time. Our driver, who was very capable and always made sure we were comfortable, got us to the train station just in time. Nabeel escorted us through the station and to our train car. Back in Delhi, our driver was there to greet us and got us back to the hotel safely. It couldn’t have been an easier or more enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this tour and our knowledgeable guide, Nabeel.

I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting India. The tour was well organized and the staff was very attentive to every need. My guide Islam Ahman was great and provided a very enjoyable tour. Lunch was very good and the drivers were very professional and friendly. From beginning to end everything went smooth. This tour is excellent for first time visitors to Indian. It would be good for families as well.

An easy and effortless tour. Every step of the way, the drivers were on time and showed you exactly where to go. Agra pick up and tour was very comfortable and easy. Ali was a great tour guide, who is passionate about the culture and a great photographer! Ali is from Agra and knew quite a lot of about local history. India can be a chaotic place to visit, this tour makes super easy.

I was very impressed by the quality service on the private day tour of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort provided by Pioneer Holidays. I was picked up from my New Delhi hotel and then escorted through the train station to my seat on the carriage, and when the high speed train arrived in Agra I stepped on to the platform and there was my guide Fez who immediately recognised me and proceeded to conduct a most interesting, informative and enjoyable tour of the highlights of Agra. This was superb customer service. Fez was all you could want in a tour guide - knowledgeable, considerate and focussed on providing great service. The Taj Mahal truly is a wonder of the world and the Red Fort was also amazing. Having a guide like Fez enhanced the experience significantly. The car was modern, reliable and clean and the driver was experienced and very capable. Highly recommended and great value for money.

Excellent tour with great information from our guide, Faizan, who was knowledgeable and friendly. The timing worked well, and our guide was right there at the Agra train platform to great us. We got to see everything we were hoping to see in Agra, and the day went smoothly. Highly recommended! We all appreciated the round-trip transportation between the train and hotel.

The Tour was very well organized and perfectly hosted by Nabeel with support from Ali in Delhi and the driver in Agra. Nabeel has an excellent manner and demonstrates deep knowledge of the history behind the Taj Mahal and all the other places to visit in Agra. Ali was very prompt and helpful picking us up from the hotel and getting us to our seats on the train. The train journey is painless - certainly not luxurious and lots to see out of the windows (and fellow passengers!) Well worth the money - includes all entry tickets and lunch - take some rupees for little extras and water and take some precautions against the sun - you will be outside for most of the day.

Driver arrived on time to take us from our hotel in Old Delhi to the train station, also boarded with us to show us our seats...train left on time. We were seated in first class, very comfortable with food and beverage served. Arrived in Aggra and was met by our guide Mohamed who we found extremely professional and full of historical knowledge about the Taj Mahal and other sites we visited. Our lunch was delicious, served at the Marriot.. Only negative of the day was a photographer who caught us on the way into the Taj. Offered photos for 100inr then proceed to take over a hundred and when we asked for 10 prints he seemed a little perturbed..very embarrassing situ. We should have know better...our guide took photos with our iPhone and they were awsome....after a long day Mohamed and the driver got us back to the station, again boarding with us to help with seating...back in Delhi collected by driver who got us safely back to our hotel....truly wonderful day and thanks to Mohamed we are full of knowledge about all the sights we saw....Also booked a walking food tour of Old Delhi through Victor. Would fully recommend .

TL;DR Great guide and overall tour, but I didn’t like the unexpected forced handicraft shop stop. They pick you up from your hotel and a guide accompanies you to the train station and helps you to your seat. There are some checks and balances on their side where they take your picture and verify you for the driver and guide in Agra who wait for you just outside the train coach. The transitions between your hotel to your driver and guide in Agra are pretty seamless and very well done. We had tour guide Nabeel and driver Ashok. I’d recommend touring with them if you get a chance. Nabeel was very knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and helped us take some solid photos. He warned us about hawkers, kept us feeling safe, and didn’t pressure us to buy anything. He mentioned sometime during our trip that he had taken a 2 year guide schooling of some sort. The communication with the company was professional and responses fast. The only downside, which resulted in a loss of a star for me, was the stop to the marble handicraft store, where we get pitched to from the store keeps. They give you some drinks, speak to you for a while, and pressure you into buying things. If this was included in the overall package, I would have been personally less inclined to purchase the package. However, the rest of the tour was delightful.
