This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Taj Mahal, Agra 282001 India
The Taj Mahal meaning "Crown of the Palaces") is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the south bank of the Yamuna river in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan (reigned from 1628 to 1658), to house the tomb of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It also houses the tomb of Shah Jahan, the builder. The tomb is the centerpiece of a 17-hectare (42-acre) complex, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenellated wall. The travelers would be visiting one of the most famous wonders of world with a guide who would be explaining them about the history and archaeology in detail.

Stop At: Agra Fort Rakabgani, Agra 282003 India
Agra Fort is a historical fort in the city of Agra in India. It was the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty until 1638, when the capital was shifted from Agra to Delhi.

In 1983, the Agra fort has been inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage site.[1] It is about 2.5 km northwest of its more famous sister monument, the Taj Mahal. The fort can be more accurately described as a walled city.

The tour guide was incredible! What an experience! The driver almost fell asleep at the wheel on the way home, at least it looked that way. I made a comment and that seemed to wake him up. Kind of scary! But the guide was absolutely amazing. Spoke fluent English and easy to understand, got waters for us throughout the day, navigated the sites and the people for us. Really good experience!
This tour was brilliant and all I could have asked for. Raza, the driver, was early to pick me up from my hotel and stopped for refreshment along the long drive. My guide, Asif, met us in Agra. Both explained all I would need to know and Asif was attentive and thoroughly knowledgeable. ☆☆☆☆☆
My mother and I had a great time on this trip! Our driver was very friendly and knowledgeable and we loved hearing his stories. Our tour guide was a great photographer and helped us take incredible photos. We also really loved lunch at the restaurant Indiana.
I would definitely recommend this tour! The driver and tour guide were awesome. The Indiana restaurant where we had lunch was delicious. I am from Indiana so I got a kick out of the name. The drive back and forth from Delhi to Agra was quite an experience, but worth it. We were picked up from our hotel and dropped off safely. Great job guys!
Both driver and guide very polite and knowledgeable! Everything was perfect! Highly recommended!
We loved our day trip to Agra. Our driver Raza was absolutely brilliant and is a credit to Viator. He was even able to add on a trip to Fatephur Sikri at the very last minute. We felt in very good hands with Raza. Thank you!!
