Ali (our driver in Agra) and Akil (our tour guide) we’re experts in logistics and adaptability. They have the system down to a tee. To illustrate each leg of the trip:
1. A driver texts his contact information the night before.
2. The driver arrives on time and texts his arrival. He’ll greet you outside the hotel entrance in person and bring you to the car
3. The driver will park at the train station and walk you through the platform and to your seat.
4. The next driver will knock on your train seat window when you arrive and greet you when you emerge from the train. He will bring you to the car; then he’ll pick up the tour guide and drop you at the destination.
5. The tour guide will walk with you and show his expertise on the history of the location. He will also offer to take photos with your phone during key moments. He will then escort you back to the driver. The driver will offer you small chilled beverages on every return.
I didn’t really have to worry at all!

We were draped in garlands as soon as we got of the train in Agra and that set the mood for the whole day. Farid the travel guide and his driver Ali were beyond amazing. Farid's passion for the Taj Mahal rubbed onto us and we found ourselves in the life and personality of Shah Jehan. He would point out the smallest details in Taj Mahal that we would have never even noticed had we gone alone. I will not in include any spoilers.
The restaurant we went to had great food and what appeared to be unlimited supply of curries. We were able to shop for marble tables at the end and that was the icing on the cake.
On both ends Delhi and Agra we were accompanied until the train arrived which made us feel safe.
Glad we got to discover the Taj Mahal with Farid.

This tour was truly amazing, we've had such a great time exploring the city of Agra and mainly Taj Mahal which is mind blowing. Our tour guide Malik Asif made the whole experience 10× better as he took us through the great history behind Taj Mahal and Agra fort which is so fascinating and he was very nice and helped us take amazing photos throughout the day. I would completely recommend this tour and I can guarantee you won't regret it especially if you are with Mr Asif.

Let me tell you… this was the best decision of our whole trip. Even before the tour, the agency kept me informed and Salazar even worked with me when I made a mistake on my booking (I recommend having WhatsApp for communication). Everything was pre arranged and well-organized. We didn’t have to figure out trains or deal with the queues at the Taj, and our tour guide, Farid, was amazing. He was informative but not overbearing or pushy. He knew all the best photo spots and made sure we got the good shots, plus we enjoyed his company at lunch. I know it’s a bit pricier than other tours, but truly I can’t recommend this enough.

Farid sahib did a fantastic job - he is profoundly knowledgeable about all aspects of the major Agra monuments, and is genuinely caring and friendly as a host and guide. Felt like being with a close family member. I highly recommend this tour.

Excellent experience with Farid who very diligently guided me through the Taj Mahal and the Agra fort providing me with plenty of valuable information on both sites. Moreover, right after booking, the company established an immediate WhatsApp contact and provided me with all the necessary details for the trip. Pickup at the hotel was very punctual and the driver brought me directly to my seat in the train. No stress, no worries, great support and a worthwhile visit !

We were collected promptly from our Hotel. Our driver helped find our seats in the train at Delhi, and ensured that our tour guide (Farid) knew who he was collecting in Agra.
Farid was exceptional. He had a great sense of humour, and passion in everything he spoke about.
The Taj Mahal was absolutely incredible. It blew us away even more than we thought possible. We spent almost 3 hours there and to be honest, it flew past. We could easily have spent more time there!
Lunch was delicious. A beautiful restaurant serving authentic Indian food.
We then visited Agra Fort, which was also very impressive and beautiful.
Finally we were taken to Baby Taj which was much smaller, but equally pretty.
All in all this is an amazing tour, very good value for money and we would recommend it to anybody travelling to Delhi.

A fabulous day out. Travelled on the Gatiman Express (super alternative to driving). Chauffeured to the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort & Itmad-ud-Daula. Delicious lunch in between and a spot of shopping at Zardouzee before heading back to Dehli. Ali, our driver, was super careful and courteous - always opening doors etc and our guide, Farid, charming and highly knowledgeable about the history of these wonderful buildings. Highly recommend.

I spontaneously booked my trip to Agra the evening before, but the organisation was 100%. Communication with Salamat was fast and easy. The train trip with air conditioning and breakfast/lunch was comfortable. My guide Farid was very pleasant and fun while giving all the facts. I got chauffeured in an air-conditioned car and both Farid amd the duvet were very accommodating. The included buffet lunch was delicious and a chance to try different dishes at a fancy restaurant.
I'm glad I decided to do the tour and would greatly recommend it to anyone.

Amazing tour!!! Agra is beautiful and Taj Mahal is out of this world but most importantly, the thing that made this day so special is my tour guide Farid. He is the nicest person and extremely knowledgeable. He kept this trip entertaining and always made sure that I had the best time and I did. Driver Chand was always around to make sure that, if needed, i have a drink and can quickly hop in the car for some AC time (it was 46 C outside). I think we will be now friends for life. I am keeping those guys contacts for all future trips and will be definitely referring friends and family to them.
Thanks for everything, guys! See you again in the future…

We are coming to New Delhi in October 2021. We would very much like to see the Taj Mahal. We were wondering if, after we're shown through the Taj, could we pay extra and have one of your driver takes us to see the River Ganges instead of the afternoon sights. We have seen most of the major rivers of the world and would also like to see the River Ganges.

Sunrise and take an evening train back to Delhi. Please note that Taj Mahal remained closed on Friday and the fastest train also does not operate on Friday). Hence kindly make sure that whenever you plan to visit Agra, it should not be a Friday.

There is a mosque in Taj Mahal and that is still active mosque and on every Fridays Taj Mahal is opened only for the worshippers and for the others it remains closed which is why there is no train and no tour on Fridays and that's why all fridays are blocked...

We arrive on a Saturday to New Dehli Airport at 7:35 am. Is it too late or would it be possible to start the tour directly from there whenever we are able to come out of the terminal and then be dropped of on the way back from Agra at our hotel?

Dear guest, the train departs at 8:10am and the airport is around 40 mins drive away from train station, due to which it is very difficult to catch the train on time.

What’s the key difference between Executive and 2nd AC train?
SANIYATOUR
Agra, India2 contributions
Dear guest the difference between executive class and 2nd AC is the space between the seats. The seats in Executive class is more spacious and comfortable than 2nd AC.
Both class have chair seats and air conditioned with meals but in executive class the seats are 2 x 2 while in 2nd AC the same space has 2 x 3 seats.
