Seeing the Taj Mahal was a dream come true. This tour made it easy from Bangalore. My driver, Sonu, was kind and helpful. My guide, Rocky, made sure I got great photos throughout the tour. The timing of the second day seemed a bit off, as I had 5 hours at the airport before my flight. When my flight was delayed another 2.5 hours, I decided to buy a different flight back to Bangalore myself so I didn't have to wait. Otherwise, a well-planned excursion.

Had an amazing two day tour with KK our driver and tour guide Praveen (Rocky). This dynamic duo made traveling from Bangalore to Agra so easy. We were met at the Delhi airport by KK who was waiting gate side and swiftly got us to our car. He greeted us with water and a beautiful lei of fresh marigolds. He deftly navigated the Delhi traffic and made the 3.5 hour car ride to Agra fly by. He stopped by a road side teas house along the way where we had a quick break and some local Masala tea. It’s delicious we suggest you stop and sample. Upon arriving in Agra we were joined by Praveen(Rocky) who was our local tour guide for the two days. We navigated our way to lunch at a local establishment and when refreshed we headed out to explore. Rocky is an expert in the local history and the Taj Mahal. He is engaging, organized and very personable . The itinerary was so well timed that we captured both sunrise and sunset at the Taj Mahal. This tour is jam packed and I highly recommend asking for ROCKY AND KK to make it extra special. You will not be disappointed.

Had a good tour with my driver KK Sharma and tour guide Rajni Kant. They helped me take a lot of photos on the road and in the monumen sites.
I felt safe in the car and in the hands of my tour guide, both were very knowledgeable. Stops at local Agra craftsmen shops were included, there is no pressure to buy from the tour operators. However if you want something be prepared to haggle.
I would recommend this tour to travellers that don't have time to organise themselves, everything was sorted out.

Fantastic service from Nikita Holidays, who fully organized our trip to Delhi/Agra, pick up/drop off to/from hotels, flights both way, hotel accommodation, English speaking guide for the Taj Mahal & Red Fort, English speaking driver to take us everywhere. We were kept in the picture at all times: advising the name of our driver who would be collecting us from our hotel in Candolim & taking us to Manohar Airport. Welcomed at Delhi Airport by Sahil(Nikita Holidays) & Anil(our super driver from Nikita Holidays). Before heading to Agra, we stopped off for lunch at Suribachi restaurant. Great meal eaten there, before the journey to Agra. Arriving at Agra, we checked into our rooms at the Clarks Shiraz hotel. Excellent hotel, lovely facilities including pool, games room, gym & buffet breakfast. We met our excellent driver Anil in the hotel lobby at 06:15 & were introduced to Raj our guide. We drove to the Taj Mahal( only 3km away) & began our tour. Raj was extremely knowledgeable & we learnt so much from him about the Taj Mahal, the background history of the king & queen & their families. Raj exceeded our expectations & is a credit to his profession. We also hired separately a professional photographer to shoot some excellent photos of us all at this iconic Wonder Of The World, something I would recommend, as they know where to take the best shots & from which angles etc. At 09:30, we headed back to the hotel for breakfast, then met Raj & Anil to continue our trip to Sanskriti, a working shop, showcasing local Indian handicraft. Stunning hand made carpets, pictures & jewellery, which you could also purchase. We then went to Agra Marble & Handicrafts based opposite, a working shop, showcasing stunning inlaid marble design products, which you could also purchase. After these visits we went to The Red Fort, where Raj shared his extensive knowledge once more of the history of the site, which is currently also a working army base. We then said farewell to Raj. Anil then drove us back to Delhi Airport, stopping off along the way for lunch at a food court on the Noida-Agra Expressway. I must add, our driver Anil was fantastic throughout. Very polite & caring & incredibly skilled at driving & navigating the best routes to where we were going. We were in very safe hands with Anil. We boarded our flight back to Goa & another driver was waiting for us at arrivals, to take us back to our hotel. We have had the best experience on this trip & would not hesitate in using the Team at Nikita Holidays again. Thank you Team Nikita Holidays.

Rocky and KK were great guides from the airport in Delhi to Agra. Everything was as described and on schedule.
Having Rocky was almost like a cheat code as he knew the best places to take photos and how to avoid the longest queues. And KK was an excellent driver throughout.
As I mentioned, the whole trip was exactly as described. They do take you to the three shops to view marble, rug and tapestry work. But there was no pressure to buy and it was pretty cool to see how things were made.
Overall, I’m happy I booked this trip and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again in the future if I make my way back to Agra.
