We took this excursion after a 9 night cruise to India. Our cruise ended in Mumbi and wanted to visit the Taj Mahal after the cruise. I was a little nervous about trying to book this excursion by myself. I usually go though the cruise ship because it can be easier then booking on my own. But to my surprise, booking this 2 night Private Taj Mahal and Agra tour from the Mumbi cruise port was the best thing I could have done. As soon as our ship docked in Mumbi, we left the ship and our ride to the air port was waiting for us outside the terminal, He had a sign with our name on it to locate him. The transfer to the air port was very quick and safe. He explained where to go in the air port to catch our flight to New Delhi. This company planned everything from transfer, to airline tickets ,to hotels in Agra and a tour guide. Everything went well. Once our flight landed in New Delhi, we had a driver waiting for us outside the terminal. The driver was excellent. He gave us a flower lei and plenty of water to drink. The drive is around 3 to 4 hour drive from the air port in New Delhi and our hotel in Agra. Driving India can be a little scary, but we always felt safe with him driving us. The hotel was magnificent. It was less then two miles to the Taj Mahal. The next day we met our tour guide at the hotel. We continued to a sunrise at the Taj Mahal with the driver and guide. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area we were visiting. He walked us around the Taj Mahal and made the building come alive. He talked about the history of the building and how it was built. He also knows all the best places to take pictures of the area. After the Taj Mahal, we went to the Agra fort. Our driver always dropped us off near the buildings and picked us up very close to. The Agra fort is a fort and a palace combined. As we walk around, our tour guide explained the love story and the horrible way the son imprisoned his father to gain power. Our guide also recommended an excellent restaurant for lunch. To ended the day, our guide took us across the river from the Taj Mahal to see it at sunset. I was the perfect way to end the day. Our guide was excellent the whole day. And his English was perfect. He has been a guide for over 19 years. The next day, we met our driver at the hotel to drive back to the airport. An extra bonus, since our flight was in the evening, our driver took us around New Delhi to see some of the attraction of the city. He also stopped at a nice restaurant before the air port so we could have one last nice India dinner. This was one of the best tours that we have ever taken. They took care of tiniest details of our tour. I would highly recommend this company for any tour in INDIA.
