World Heritage site and perhaps India’s most iconic landmark, the Taj Mahal. Built in the mid-1600s, this white marble mausoleum was commissioned by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in dedication to his wife. Learn about the Turkish, Indian and Persian architectural styles as you admire the detailed interior and exterior décor, the beautiful garden and the general magnificence of the place with your guide.
Agra Fort, a World Heritage site and Mughal architectural wonder. With your private guide, enter the 94-acre (34-hectare) brick fort, noting the mix of Islamic and Hindu influences in its design. Hear about the purposes of the various buildings such as the Hall of Private Audience (Diwan-i-Khas), Pearl Fort (Moti Masjid), Mirror Palace (Sheesh Mahal) and Hall of Public Audience (Diwan-i-Am).

We have a customized 6 days trip including New Delhi and Agra. Thank you for the great services you have offered to us. It was an excellent experience and trip that we have gone through. The performance at red fort and Ashadam. A special thanks to few tour guides - who has exceptional Agra history knowledge, detail explanation, and followed us throughout the trip under the hot weather, helping in taking photo and giving advices. The others had given us such an good shopping experience, helping in giving advices and even bargain! He has been patiencely waiting and accompanied us throughout the long waiting shopping time. The third one was such an considerate person, who has kindly brought us all the way to Indian gate for a night light view. It's not in our itinerary as it's difficult to pack into any of the day. The last one, was willing to explain with some useful suggestions but he seems to be a busy person, and need to use his phone frequently. He brought us to a reliable shop but overall item price was higher. We was searching for him outside the shop to get his advices. Finally we didn't buy any thing there. Overall it was an enlightened trip and we enjoy the food very much. Missed the masala chai, which is so much better than local Malaysia's Masala chai. Will definitely recommend this travel agency, if anyone going to India.

It was such an an amazing trip. Our tour guide was so insightful and everything he was able to share with us was so exciting to hear and learn about.
The Taj Mahal was a gorgeous experience. I worked with GETs Holidays (tour operator) to actually move up the tour so that it enabled us to see sunrise at the Taj. The company quickly shifted to a 1:30am departure from Delhi and it was seamless! I highly recommend this tour and GetS holidays.
We had one day to see Taj Mahal and Agra Fort from Delhi. GeTS holidays made this happen without a hitch. Driver and guide were punctual and informative.
We really enjoyed the private tour. Our driver Dinesh was fast and excellent. He navigated some tough weather conditions with relative ease. Our guide Padam gave us volumes of information. He was quite knowledgeable and truly drew out our interests. Overall it was a fun, knowledgeable and safe experience. Truly recommend it.
Shafali the guide brought this magnificent location to life in such a special way. We can’t recommend her highly enough. She made the day informative, moving but most of all lots of fun. Our driver Sunil was skill full, knowledgeable and caring, would definitely recommend him and the entire tour.

An exceptional trip, an agency always listening to us, not hesitating to call us even late at night. The stay took place on schedule. The hotels were of excellent quality. The Guides, all speaking French, were rare. In addition, the quality, price, and competition ratio is challenging. Recommend more more more.
Delhi is a great way to explore the beauty of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, learn about the Mughal history and architecture, and experience the rich culture and cuisine of Agra.
Dear Guest, Thank you for feedback, lovely to know you had a great time. Hope you try some of our other tours as well in future.
