1-Day Private Agra and Jaipur Tour from Delhi

Very good trip with vijay gupta

This is my first trip to India.It was very good I was happy that the guide vijay gupta guided me well Thank you. I want to travel again next time

Great tour

It was a great tour. The driver picked us up from the airport. He was easy to communicate with via whatsapp. He actually arrived a little early which worked out well for us. It was a long drive to Agra where we met the first guide. He was great and took us to the Taj Mahal. After we went to a nice hotel for a very nice breakfast. Then we drove to Jaipur and picked up the second guide. The second guide was great also. We also stopped at a few shops that sold jewels, spices, and art. It was a long day but the best way to see everything in one day.

Amazing time in India!

My friend and I booked this tour a few days before our trip and we had Ashok as our tour guide and our driver was KK. They were such amazing guys! Very kind, knowledgeable and great sense of humor! I highly recommend them! Also Ashok is a great photographer and very patient. Thanks again you guys for the great experience! Lisa

Not worth it!!

Firstly I would never recommend this tour we paid £162 EACH for a tour where we spent about 13/14 hours in the car. Right let’s starts... Got picked up at 2.30am promptly and started our drive to Agra, breakfast was included so we didn’t eat and thought we would eat before arriving at the Taj Mahal we probably could of done if our driver didn’t keep stopping for a cigarette after hour or so. We got to a hotel where we picked up our guide and got into the Taj Mahal and once we arrived some guy with a camera started taking picture of us to which he was our personal photographer to which we didn’t ask for nor want. 100 photos later he tried to sell us all the photos for 5,500 rupees obviously we said no and he kept lowering the price till he got down to 3,000 rupees and our tour guide said that’s a great deal so we decided to purchase them just so he would leave... then our tour guide said and I quote “you didn’t need to buy them the photographers are conning you I could take the pics on your phone” are you for real? Bloody idiot so clearly they work for commission.. The rest of the tour was completely rushed Amber fort was beautiful though and I can’t stress my absolute disappointment when the only reason I took this tour is to ride an elephant and you can’t in this tour despite is saying you can on the tour extras. Do not do this tour!! You can get the same tour in Delhi at a fraction of the cost. The places you go are great but rthe organisation of this tour was horrendous. Never felt so rushed in my life..

Great tour but.....

If you are time poor and want to see the Taj Mahal and Jaipur in a day, this is your best option. Originally, I had planned to navigate the trains and get to Agra and do the Taj by myself. I’m so glad I didn’t. It’s a long day with a 2:30am pick up from my hotel. They also called the evening before to confirm pick up time (which was nice). The driver (K K Chandry) was on time and he was fantastic for the whole day. I’m so glad I didn’t have to drive with the chaos of Indian traffic. He provided water the whole day, and WiFi which helped the drive go faster. He was also very friendly, accommodating and a safe driver. It’s about 3 hours to Agra. The tour guide met us there and took me through the taj. He was very informative and took photos of me (and knew all the best shots to take). After, a buffet breakfast at nearby hotel was included. Then it was a few more hours drive to Jaipur and first stop was lunch. The restaurant was of good quality (but not included in the price). Another local guide then took me up to the Amber fort and another monument. He was good and explained most the history. Apparently we were running out of time and rushed through the Amber fort and could only see one other monument. Then it was a long (four hour) drive back to Delhi. And back to my hotel by 9pm. It’s a long day. But I would not have been able to do it by myself, so it was worth it and a good price with most things included. So why have I only given three stars? In both places, the guides unexpectedly took me to places that were not advertised on the itinerary nor did they ask me whether I wanted (or was interested) in going there. In Agra, it was a marble inlay factory. All of a sudden, the car stops and the guide says he wanted to show me how the Taj was made. I get taken into a building, the guide leaves me with a man who gives me a 5 minute demonstration on how marble inlay is made and then takes me into his showroom. He was very pushy, the items were lovely (but very expensive) and I really wasn’t looking to purchase a marble inlay table top for $1000 even if you could have it shipped to Australia. It was very uncomfortable, especially not being pre warned about this stop. In Jaipur, I was told we were running out of time and rushed through the Amber fort and could only see one other monument (instead of two). It then, without asking me, we arrived at a carpet factory for 30 mins. Now I have ABSOLUTELY no interest in how carpets are made and even less interest in buying one. Nor do I want to buy a pashmina or silk fabric. But again I was left alone for a demonstration and then shown all their items and just had to be blunt and tell him I have no interest in this. To be fair, this guy wasn’t pushy and I was able to get out of there without too match hassle. These experiences really soured what was, a great day. If I was pre-warned or even asked whether I was interested in these things and I had an option, it would have been ok. But to be told we are running out of time and to rush the tour of places I actually wanted to see (and paid for) only to waste time at something I don’t want to see; this is not good. I am actually very upset that they did this. So, do the tour - it’s good value, great driver. Just make sure you ask them not to take you to random places that you’re not interested in and that waste your time.

I and a colleague only had one day...

<p>I and a colleague only had one day free to visit in Delhi area and wanted to see both Agra and Jaipur. This is a long trip it took us over 20 hours with traffic. The up side is you get to see the Golden Triangle in a day which is epic. Mr KK Sharma our driver was at the hotel nice and early waiting for us before pickup. He made sure we were comfortable and drove on the new highway between Delhi and Agra allowing us to sleep.<br/> In Agra we were at the Taj for sunrise and our tour guide Mahesh Kumar was very knowledgeable bringing the history and story of ages past as well as detailed knowledge of the building materials from around the world. He advised us on a photographer inside Taj area who did a great job ensuring our photographic memories where better than we could do -- I love the photo with the Taj reflecting in my sun glasses - well done.This was the main event in Agra, we visited the outside of the fort, but had to move on to breakfast to keep to schedule. <br/> Breakfast was excellent, it was a high grade western hotel serving both Eastern and Western food.<br/> On to Jaipur, a long journey, Mr KK our driver was helpful and willing to stop for comfort breaks. On the crazy Indian roads Mr KK kept us safe and on schedule. The first thing we did was lunch in Jaipur, a nice Indian restaurant with clean toilets and reasonably priced but tasty food. Unfortunately it rained so it was not sensible to photograph the Palace of the Winds when we were passing, so Mr KK sent us some photos from a previous tour so we had memories, and later in the day when the rain ended we revisited the site for more photos. Our Jaipur guide was Ashok Sharma, a young energetic but very knowledgeable man who took us to the Palace in Jaipur. It rained as we arrived but Mr KK came to the rescue with umbrellas for us and the guide - great thought and preparation, he also provided water during the trip. The palace was very interesting showing fantastic wall painting, fabrics and military equipment. Mr Ashok explained the position of Jaipur in the area and links with the UK during British occupation and afterwards. Amazingly the paint in the main court room contains gem dust so it shines amazingly - unbelievable but there is an area which you can touch and feel the stone particles. After the rains we visited a carpet and fabric hand-printing shop / collective which is famous for supporting poor communities. Hilary Clinton visited it a few months ago to see how it was transforming communities, it was not on the agenda but we agreed to go as it was an interesting project.<br/> after this we returned to Palace of the Winds, Took Photo's of the Palace on the Lake and went into the hills to see the Amber fort.<br/> It was then time to travel home which Mr KK handled while we rested. <br/> A long day, which gave us a taste of the wonders of Agra and Jaipur. There is so much more to see, but if you only have a day and want to go to both places then this is the only option.</p>

Being a solo woman traveler

I had regional meeting in Gurgaon-New Delhi for 7 days and I had 1 free day to getting around. I decided to book this tour since I would love to see both cities, Agra & Jaipur. As this was my business visit, my company didn't allowed to me take such a long trip for a solo woman traveler because of security concern. So I decided to take Agra tour only. Mr. Prem, my driver was very attentive during the trip and he spoke English fluently. He provided mini wifi router, so I can even make social media live streaming during the trip. In Agra, I met my private tour leader, Mr Mahesh. He inform me earlier what to expect during the tour and how to manage all the situation. Mr. Mahesh was fully insightful about history of Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and current industry in Agra. He took me into several places that enable me to see Taj Mahal on some different angle. He ensure my safety and I'm happy during the trip. This trip was definitely a-mind blowing experience for me and the service from Pacific Classic Tour India was excellent.

WOW- Trip of a Lifetime!

This was an amazing tour and I saw so many wonderful things! Started off in Delhi at 2:30 am (yes it was early, but sunrise is the best time to visit the Taj Mahal!) and drove to Agra for the Taj Mahal. My guide took tons of photos for me which was awesome. Then visited Jaipur in Rajasthan which was an amazing city! LOVED my guide there named Ashok! He was from Jaipur and knew everything about the city and was super flexible regarding what I wanted to see. So glad to have met him! From there I traveled back to Delhi. Only drawback to the day was the amount of driving in one day. I think it was too much for one driver, so would suggest to Pacific Classic Tours India to split the day with two separate drivers. At one point, it seemed our driver was starting to fall asleep at the wheel which was concerning.
