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

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.

One of the best tour companies ever! Had an amazing time and experience. In a chaotic Delhi we felt extremely safe because of their immaculate organisation. We got picked up from the hotel. Transferred to our seats in he train and picked up again in Agra as soon as we stepped out of the train. Our tour guide Faizan was very professional, educated and well mannered. His information about everything Definately made the experience more indulging. He kept the tour really well paced and helped with view points and always had water which was great. Highly recommended doing Agra this away specially becuase of the safety of the train as highways can be dangerous.

This tour was fantastic and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to see the best sites in Agra. The driver picked me up from my hotel and drove me to the train station and even went so far as to accompany onto the train and to my seat. This was appreciated as the train station isn't in the best of areas. He then sent my picture to the guide, Nabeel, for pickup when I arrived in Agra. Nabeel was waiting when I got off the train and I couldn't even take 3 steps before he greeted me. Nabeel quickly ushered me to the vehicle, driven by Amir and we started our journey. Amir was very knowledgeable about the traffic and got us to every location quickly and safely. Nabeel was a walking encyclopedia for all things for this tour. Any question I had he knew the answer to. We visited all four sites and he had great stories and information for each of them. Once the tour was over, Nabeel walked me back to my train and the first driver was waiting for me as soon as the train pulled up in Delhi. You can't get better door to door service than what was provided here. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone staying in Delhi and wanting to travel to Agra.

Our driver, Rajendra, picked us up at our New Delhi hotel and drove us to the train station. Given how chaotic it could be in an unfamiliar place, it was nice to have someone navigate for us and not have to worry about if we were at the right place or got on the right train. Rajendra walked us to our train seats and was also there to pick us up when our train arrived back in New Delhi. When we arrived in Agra, Faizan greeted us when we got off the train. Faizan gave us a thorough history about the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah. He answered questions we had. He was also a great photographer and knew the right stops for some nice photos. He's knowledgeable and a great tour guide.

Had an amazing time with my guide Vicky. I was travelling alone on my first visit to India so wasn't sure what to expect. The driver guided me all the way to my seat on the train, which was actually pretty nice. After arriving, Vicky was waiting outside the carriage for me. On top of the big ticket items, he knew loads of great places that I would never have even known about without a proper guide! I felt very enlightened afterwards. I really couldn't recommend it enough!
