3-Day Private Golden Triangle Tour: Delhi, Agra and Jaipur

We really enjoyed this trip and it packs a lot in over the 3-days. Our driver was curtious and friendly however be prepared for a crazy driving experience in India. Each day we had a different guide and whilst they had great knowledge of each area, we did find them a little difficult to understand as they speak English so fast. Also be prepared to get a little harassed with sales people when you visit some of the local craftsmen. They do make wonderful stuff but once you are there they feel like you should be buying something.

Excellent guides that brought us to see things we would not have known about - also at the right time to beat the crowds! Very informative and we got great pictures too.

This tour is a must if you have limited time. Our tour guides (Dilip [Delhi], AD [Agra], and Vijay [Jaipur]) are the best to ever do it--their knowledge base is unparalleled; they are organized, detail oriented and well established in their various locales. You will get to visit many workshops and boutiques of local artisans in each town. Mr. KK Sharma, our driver for the 3 days, is phenomenal. He knows the roads so well and had the car ready at every spot. We never stopped for gas or wasted any travel time. Truly amazing. Beware, if you have car sickness, there is a lot of driving involved. This did not bother me but my friend found the road from Jaipur back to Delhi a bit difficult.

We were very well taken care of from start to finish. The local guides were all very friendly, and knowledgeable. Our driver, Hari, was also very friendly. I found his driving to be very safe (particularly by Delhi standards!). The hotels on the 5* option were wonderful. Our only 'complaint' was that we were not able to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise due to the haze, but this was communicated to us prior and was out of the tour guides' control! We were given the option as to whether to be taken to shops or not, which we appreciated. It is not compulsory.

This is a MUST tour! The tour guides were so knowledgeable and very personable. The driver was great as well. We learned so much and saw all the must sees in each city. Singh from Delhi, Mahesh from Agra, and Ashok from Jaipur were just amazing and most delightful! They were open to our many questions ranging from history, religion, and cultural practices. Our eyes were opened to the beauty of India and its people. We loved every minute of this tour!

We booked the Three Day Golden Triangle Tour with Viator, and as usual, Viator delivered an excellent experience. As we only had a few days, we wanted to see as many of the highlights of India as we could, without being rushed, and on this tour we did just that. We started out in Delhi, where our driver and tour guide arrived punctually at the hotel to pick us up. Sites such as Qutb Minar, Himayuns Tomb, the Lotus Temple, and India Gate are not to be missed. After that we drove approximately three hours to the hotel in Agra. We had the evening free to enjoy the hotel and relax before an early morning start on day two. The Taj Mahal- well, it’s the Taj Mahal!! Breathtaking, a must see item that should be on everyone’s list. Our guide recommended we go early to beat the crowds, good call, as it was starting to fill up as we left the site. We also seen Agra Fort on day Two as well. Another great site! After Agra Fort, we were on the road again, this time for Jaipur. It was a long drive, 4 hours, but the car was comfortable, the AC worked, there was snacks and water, and there was even WIFI in the car, an unexpected bonus! The next morning, we seen the Amber Fort, perched up on its mountain plateau. It was an excellent couple of hours there. Then we went and seen the Water Palace, explored the Observatory- very cool- the Royal Palace, seen the Wind Palace, and watched some craftsmen as they made rugs and clothes by hand. After that it was about a four hour drive back to Delhi. Overall, nothing but great things to say about the tour guides (as we had a different one in each city), the driver, and the tours themselves. We selected 5-star hotels and they were up to standard. The buffet breakfasts were delicious! A special shout out to our tour guide on the second day, Seema Singhal, who took us through the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. She was very enthusiastic, friendly, and full of pertinent and interesting facts and stories about what we were seeing, stories beyond what the tour books offered. If you’re looking to see as much as you comfortably can see of India and its culture in a short period of time, then this three day private tour is for you.

Excellent programme, excellents chauffeur et guides. It was easy to book for this progarm by internet and then to extend for one day in Delhi when we arrive. The choice of the guide in Delhi was really good. We visit this large cuisine in the Singh temple instead the red fort. We see an other fort rouge in Agra. In Jaipur we could add the elephant riding arrival and get a very open guide who spoke well French and have interesting discussions. The hotels were from our personnel choice. I recommand the Havelis in Agra and Jaipur. the weather was very good, not too hot.

Excellent trip. KK is excellent driver. Guides were great especially manesh in Agra. Highly recommended. Go to India

If you have 2 min to spare: Everything you can read on this page is what you get. The visits, the private car, the great chauffer, the knowledgeable guides in each city, the nice hotels are all there and either meeting or exceeding expectations! Fair enough, it’s not written that there is a lot of pollution while you will get loads of it but that’s part of the Delhi experience! ;) (The only surprises we had were the unexpected stops at local handmade art workshops: Kashmere carpets, Marble carving, Gems & Jewellery... Tourist trap or not, we bought a carpet... haha) Our car (a recent Toyota Etios) was a small one but sufficient as we were only 2. It was quite clean and the AC was a relief after the visits at each site. The rides between the cities are long. The first leg (3 hrs) is done on a private highway which is in perfect conditions between Delhi and Agra. The second leg (5 hrs) starts with the exiting of Agra on small roads and then bigger ones (kinda highway but not really). Finally, between Jaipur and Delhi it is the longest ride. Another 5 hours ish which turns out to be longer when so much traffic at the entrance of Delhi. Wifi hotspot in the car at convenience to stay connected. The restaurants we went to (Pindi in Delhi, on a highway stop towards Agra and just before exiting Jaipur) were very good, not too spicy and no digestion issue! The hotels (took 4* option) were nice. In Agra, the Crystal Sarovar is very close to the Taj Mahal which os handy as we woke up at 5:30 for the sunrise visit! (I would have loved to have a room with a view on the Taj Mahal as the hotel offered those) In Jaipur, the Four Points was very nice as well. Maybe one step below the Sarovar overall. Our driver, K.K. Sharma, might have been the best part of the whole thing. Safe driving at all times (Indian standards obviously), talked to us without taking over conversations and always smiling and caring. He has got a stock of bottled water available in the cooler in the trunk. Great service! Thanks to him we discovered the Masala Tea. He went the extra mile has he did everything he could (let us use his mobile or called himself) to help us get our luggage from the airport as they did not make the transfer... Conclusion: Yes, this tour has a certain cost for sure but you buy yourself an all inclusive package (w/o lunch, dinners & tips) to get the chance to visit 3 beautiful cities in 3 days! A must if you have only 3 days! Thank you K.K., Dilip, Saurabh and Surya!
