What to expect
After morning pickup at your Agra hotel or the train station (where the guide meets you at the main exit gate), relax in a private air-conditioned vehicle and head to a 4-star hotel for a refreshment before visiting the Taj Mahal.
Spend two hours in the morning taking in the World Heritage-listed Taj Mahal, one of India's most famous sites. Then continue to Agra Fort, a red sandstone fort built by Emperor Akbar in 1565 A.D. with a combination of Hindu and Central Asian architectural styles.
At 1pm, stop at a recommended local restaurant for lunch, then return to your vehicle for the 1-hour journey to Fatehpur Sikri. The well-preserved 'ghost town' was built in the late 16th century and abandoned after just 14 years, but many of the beautiful sandstone arches, courtyards, and buildings remain.
Return to Agra by 5:30pm and check out some of the shopping opportunities in Agra, a hub for marble and stone handicrafts, as well as jewellery, embroidery, leather, brass, and carpets.
Your tour ends in the evening with return to your hotel or drop-off at Agra Cantt Railway Station (AGC).

We were looking for a sunrise Taj tour to start in Agra but couldn’t find one so I contacted Pacific Classic Tours and they put together a tour for us, including driving us back to Delhi Airport for our flight. Our tour guide, Saurabh was on time and full of knowledge on the Taj, Agra Fort, Baby Taj and Agra in general and explained it all easily to us and answered all my silly questions! Our driver, Manik was really polite and helpful and we felt like we got to experience a race car ride through Delhi! :) The added surprise of going to a textile/rug making shop and marble shop meant some extra luggage to get home!! but was interesting to see the local skills and learn about it. Thanks so much Saurabh and Manik for making our trip to Agra memorable :)Koifish_0

I have to say to any female solo travelers who are thinking about booking this tour, JUST DO IT. I have to thank the wonderful and phenomenal Mahesh, Bless your soul and your incredibly photogenic eyes. There wasn't any need to hire any photographer at the Taj, Mahesh was wonderful and knew the best places and tricks to having the best pictures capturing you and the the Taj. I was picked up promptly in the morning by Mr. Navneet and had a very uneventful and safe ride to meet Mahesh and back to my hotel. Mr. Navneet was wonderful, he even pointed out a few landmarks we drove by in Dehli. I had a great time on this tour thanks to Mahesh and Mr. Navneet and i would heavily recommend it.Sarat R

Driver: K.K. Sharma Tour Guide: Saurab Gupta One day before the journey, we had to inform the tour operator that there was a change of plan on where the departure point would be. He made a quick rearrangement on that and was quick to facilate our plan alteration. The commute to Agra and back to Delhi was smooth and punctual. K.K. was very friendly, and we had some great conversation on a wide range of topics on our way there. For the tour of the 2 attractions, Saurab was informative and provided us with interesting facts and stories about Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. We even had some nice photos taken by him! Overall, the trip was a success and I can highly recommend the tour to anybody wishing a quick day trip to Agra.857thierryj

Amazing experience overall. Early departure and drive to Taj Mahal, spectacular scenery, great guide, no queue, perfect. Breakfast okay. Drive to Agra, arrive for lunch, very good. City is fantastic and the Fort exceptional as much as unexpected. The combo is great. The rest is just to be seen from the road (no visit) to take a picture and the carpet factory not necessary. Great experience that I recommend, but, sit on the front of the car, sits are killer at the back and there a lot of driving, a lot... Return Agra to Delhi is not for the faint-hearted, probably one of the most dangerous drive I have made (train may be a good option). But KK is spectacular driver and manage well in the chaos. Take some repellent. I recommend the experience.rallyn1035

Mr. Sharma is a perfect host. A very hard working, honest, family man who goes way beyond expectations to give you an unforgettable experience. He speaks English well, has a sense of humor, and couldn't be a better person to spend the day with. This full day trip will be unforgettable and Mr. Sharma is one of the reasons.There is little pressure for shopping stops (what all drivers do in India), we declined most and accepted one and bought a nice memory to take home. You will be skipping lines as you are a VIP for the day, all admissions included, a 2nd tour guide will be with you as a private "Taj" and other site expert, he is licensed tour government approved tour "expert", guide.. Then...a provided lunch in a great and clean restaurant..Back to Delhi about 7:00 PM, we started at 6:30 AM. We highly suggest a nice tip for both fine guides. Last..Take lot's of $1.00 bills to give away to poor people, they will consume your heart and will be very memorable. Vishan has WIFI in his modern, ultra clean mini van. Take a pillow for a long 3 hour drive both ways..Cold bottled water is provided in the van. Ice is double checked in the vans reefer box, Have fun !

This was a great day tour to experience Agra and the delights of the Taj Mahal. Our driver who took us from Delhi to Agra was friendly and the car was very comfortable with wifi and water provided complimentary for the 3 and a half hour journey. Our tour guide who joined us once we arrived in Agra had lots of interesting facts about the Taj and the local area. The addition of the tour of the Agra Fort was great, we would not have thought to go there if it were not for this guided tour. Would highly recommend.
