As a professional traveling photographer I couldn't have set foot in india and not having been to the Taj Mahal. The pickup from the hotel in Delhi and drive there was smooth and swift. The guide we met up with in Agra was awesome and very accommodating and knowledgeable. We had a lot of fun, took great shots, had a good lunch and saw not only the Taj Mahal, but also the Agra fort and the Baby Taj. Because I booked the sunrise tour, we left for Agra at 02:15 am. Yes, that's early but we had practically all the sights to ourselves and we got everything done by noon. Skipping lines are all 3 sites and having plenty of time to follow all tips on where to get the best photos. Definitely would recommend.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the sunrise experience at the Taj Mahal and had great photography opportunities with fewer crowds. Happy to hear the journey was smooth and that our guide made your Agra visit enjoyable while covering all the key sites. Really appreciate your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you again! Best regards, Amit Crystal India Holidays

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear that you had a wonderful day traveling from Delhi to Agra.

We would love to welcome you back to India for another incredible experience. Best regards, Amit Crystal India Holidays
We had a great experience traveling to visit the Taj Mahal and Fort Agra! Our guide was Arif and he did an excellent job informing us of the historical significance of each landmark, as well as making us feel comfortable and prepared for every moment during our journey. He also took excellent phone photos for us from key locations so that we have many beautiful memories from our time here. Our driver arrived promptly in the morning so that we were able to make the drive out before sunrise and avoid the large crowds. Throughout the trip they also made sure that we had water / food breaks whenever necessary. The traffic back to Delhi was on the heavy side, but we were able to take a nap after the long day and enjoyed waking up back at our hotel! Each portion of the guided tour was very well thought out and planned, we are very satisfied, and would highly recommend to anyone considering this experience. Many thanks!

Absolutely fantastic tour. Driver was amazing, careful and personable. We had a safe 9 hours in the car with him (traffic was horrible). Our guide in Agra was knowledgeable, personable, fun and helped with places for pictures and he took great pictures of us too. He was great. Would highly recommend.

This company is fabulous. I started with 4 people and ended up with 14 people in 3 vehicles - great drivers, guides and communication - highly recommend booking with them - great service

We’re so glad to hear that everything—from the drivers and guides to the communication—met your expectations. It means a lot that you chose us, starting with just 4 people and eventually growing into a group of 14 in 3 vehicles! Wishing you and your family many more amazing travel experiences together.

This was an amazing tour! We were staying at an airbnb and they picked us up at it instead of a hotel. Our driver was early to the pickup spot and was really nice along the way. There were waters in the vehicle and he got us masala chai on the way. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and so polite. I've been to the Taj Mahal before and he told us things that I had never heard before. He was clear, succinct, and very interesting. We had time after going into the Taj to wander around and take photos. I also really enjoyed seeing the Red Fort and Baby Taj. It was a very hot day (90, with something like 98% humidity in August) and he still made every visit enjoyable. Breakfast was great! Highly recommend sampling the Indian dishes along with the traditional western breakfast items at the buffet. Overall, one of my favorite tours I've ever been on!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had an amazing experience on our tour. It’s great to know that our driver and guide made your journey comfortable and enjoyable, even in the heat. We aim to provide a seamless and memorable experience for all our guests, from the pickup at your Airbnb to the insightful stories at the Taj Mahal and beyond. We're glad you enjoyed the masala chai and the breakfast buffet as well! Your recommendation means the world to us. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you on another tour in the future. Safe travels and thanks again for choosing us! Best regards, Amit Crystal India Holidays
Great trip to the Taj Mahal, going at sunrise allows you to experience it with so few others, which is nice and great for pictures.

The Agra Taj Mahal Sunrise Tour was an absolute marvel and undoubtedly the highlight of my journey through India. Promptly at 2:30 AM, my driver collected me from the hotel in Delhi, setting the tone for a seamless excursion. Upon our arrival in Agra, we were joined by a local guide whose expertise and amiable demeanor greatly enhanced our experience. Our adventure commenced with the ethereal sight of the Taj Mahal, where we were privileged to be among the first visitors of the day. Witnessing the Taj Mahal in the serene ambiance of dawn exemplified why I wholeheartedly endorse the sunrise tour. Following this awe-inspiring start, we proceeded to explore several other notable sites, all the while benefiting from the insider knowledge of our guide. Throughout the day, our guide skillfully navigated us to picturesque spots, ensuring that every moment was a potential postcard. As a solo traveler, I appreciated the flawless execution of the tour, allowing me to immerse myself fully in the experience without any logistical concerns. In sum, the Agra Taj Mahal Sunrise Tour surpassed all expectations, leaving me with indelible memories and a profound appreciation for the wonders of India.
