  Vishan and Rocky were brilliant hosts and guides. Very accommodating to tailor the trip to what we were looking for. Breakfast was delicious and the hoteliers were very welcoming and keen to explain the local cuisine to us. Thanks for a great trip!

  Great sunrise tour from Delhi to see Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. Highly recommend doing sunrise tour as less traffic, people and beautiful time to see the Taj Mahal. Ravi was my fantastic driver. He was promptly on time to my hotel and I felt very safe as a lone female traveler from the US. Ravi was extremely professional and excellent driver. I even got to sleep on the way to Agra! Highly recommend this tour company and Ravi!!

  I was impressed with how professional this company was. My driver arrived to pick me up at the hotel early. The ride was smooth and comfortable. The guide was knowledgable and helped take great photos. Breakfast, which was included, was delicious. I would recommend if you are looking for a reliable and professional company to provide a driver and guide!

  My husband and I are first timers in India, so arriving in Delhi was definitely quite overwhelming. Well, thank goodness for Nikita Holidays and their amazing working staff for making us feel comfortable, super happy and excited in India... especially, for giving us the chance to check off the Taj Mahal from our bucket list in the best way imaginable. From the minute I booked the excursion online on Viator.com, I received a prompt whatsapp message from the company confirming our reservation and contact information. Days leading to our excursion, including the night before, Nikita Holidays provided me with the final confirmation information that included the driver's name, vehicle number, time, etc. I thought it was very well organized and great! The day of the trip was pure perfection and everything we could ever hope for. Vishan was our driver and he was the best!!! He arrived right on time, 2:30am on the dot, to our hotel with a very comfy van to transport us to Agra. He was very professional and kind. So much so, that after this day, we can call him a friend AND requested his amazing service for a day tour of Delhi the following day. On the way to Agra, he told us about India, his family, the culture and stopped for some delicious Masala Chai tea. It was a great ride to Agra! Once we arrived to Agra, we met our guide Rajesh... who was just as incredible as well!! He was also a great professional, very knowledgeable of Agra and the Taj Mahal. He told us everything we wanted to know of the monuments and it's magical stories. He gave us the the best tour we could have ever hoped for. He knew the best time for the most incredible sunrise views of the Taj Mahal. It was worth the long and super early start. It was an absolute beauty! Rajesh made sure to give us the best tour ever with his professionalism and superb kindness. Rajesh, Oscar and I thank you for a great tour my friend!! After the tour of the Taj Mahal, we had a lovely breakfast at a nice hotel nearby and then headed to see how tapestry, jewelry, marble, rugs are made in Agra. Both Rajesh and Vishan were always on point and ready to assist us with any questions or concerns. Even when I started to fill ill at a point within the excursion, they were attentive and helped us go at our pace. I couldn't walk the Agra Fort feeling this way so they were kind to drive us around it for pictures and tell us more history behind the monument. I promise you, they are a dynamic duo and the best in the business to go visit Agra! Finally, on the way back Vishan was amazing as always, as we stopped for lunch and continue our drive back to Delhi. He has many incredible stories to share, and will make the ride as comfortable and entertaining as possible. The best part is that we get to work with this company and his exclusive service again tomorrow as we tour New and Old Delhi. I highly recommend this company and their services. Request for Vishan and Rajesh!! They are the best and I guarantee will make you feel right at home with them in India!!

  We were picked up at the Delhi airport by Ravi and headed out to Agra. Ride was smooth and comfortable. We were provided with free Wi-Fi, snacks and bottled water. Once at Agra, we met Rocky our guide. Then we headed out to the Taj Mahal where Rocky gave us a personalized tour and took awesome pictures for us. After that, he took us around town to get Agra specific souvenirs, rugs, jewelry. We then visited the Agra fort where we took some pictures and learned more about Indian culture. Overall, it was a very special day getting to know Agra thanks to Rocky for guiding us and Ravi driving us around. If you are looking for a very informative and enjoyable tour of Agra and the Taj Mahal, I highly recommend Ravi(driver) and Rocky(guide). They are both highly knowledgeable, informative and fun!

  My husband and I did the one day sunrise trip to Agra from Delhi to see the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort and it was a great experience. Our driver Mr Vishan-Sharma collected us from the hotel for an early start at 2.30am, arrived on time, was extremely friendly and made sure we were comfortable enough to sleep on the three hour trip to Agra. He was a great driver all day, very helpful, had cold water and aircon waiting for us after visiting the sites and even went as far as to bring us to the local markets for tea and beer on the way home. Our guide for the day was Ms Jaya-Dubey and we can't praise her enough for making the tour so enjoyable. She's extremely knowledge about both sites and the city of Agra, speaks great English, encourages you to ask questions and made sure we got plenty of pictures together, as well as giving us some time together to enjoy the Taj Mahal as a couple. We can't recommend this tour company highly enough - request Mr Vishnan and Ms Jaya for a truly enjoyable and informative day out.

  Our day started at 2:30 am when our driver Sanju picked us up on time and made our trip to Delhi very comfortable with a few snacks, and loads of water. I sat in the front for the 3 hr journey from Delhi to Agra, and he stopped to get me some chai. If you know anything about driving in India, you know how hectic it can be and Sanju was a very safe and patient driver. Would hire him again for transport anytime! We went to pickup our guide Manoj, who is a very well educated man. In order to pass the exam for being a licensed tour guide, he had to know substantial info on history current events and tourist sites of India. He also speaks Spanish as a third language! I loved the story he told us about how the Taj Mahal was built and is a great love story. The mausoleum houses both of their bodies, with replicas of the tombs built in the same time period and are impressively still intact from back in the 1600's. Manoj took us through the grounds, patiently waited as I lagged behind taking pictures of everything, and even took some pictures of me and my friend! The Agra fort was no less spectacular and is a photographers dream, architecture made for some great photos. We then went to see how traditional Indian handicrafts were made: first visiting a Zardozi shop, then a marble inlay shop where we got to try our hand at carving the marble and sanding down the stones, and finally to a Moughal carpet shop where we learned how people hand wove beautifully elaborate carpets. All of the handicraft shops were authentic, but prices way too inflated for India. I did purchase a zardozi tapestry which was truely beautiful, but I definitely reached my max spending capacity for the holiday. Importantly, these two gentlemen made two American girls feels very safe for the journey there and back, and provided for all of our needs. Sanju even stopped for chai on the way back! Thanks for a good day guys!

  Just had a fantastic day in Agra visiting the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort! The tour guide, Manoj Chauhan, had great insight and had interesting commentary throughout the experience. Vishan Sharma, our van driver, was very friendly and safely navigated us around Agra and from Delhi. I highly recommend this once in a lifetime experience!

  We booked a day trip from New Delhi to Agra. Our driver Ravi arrived punctually at our hotel at 2.30am. We managed to arrive in Agra around 6am, just in time for sunrise at the Taj Mahal. We toured the grounds with our guide Rishi. He was knowledgeable, professional and readily offered to help us take photographs. After viewing the Taj Mahal, we had breakfast at a nearby hotel (included as part of the package). Following breakfast we visited a gems workshop where we were introduced to the various precious metals used in the construction of the Taj Mahal. Subsequently we explored the Agra Fort where we snapped more photographs and gained a deeper understanding of the history surrounding the place. We then visited a place selling carpets before returning to New Delhi. We arrived back in our hotel around 3pm. It was a good experience and we would like to commend Rishi and Ravi for making our day a blast!

  Just recently travelled in a group of 6 to India for a short weekend trip. Everything went very smoothly with the tour company. They were always on time to pick us up and were very responsive before our travel dates. Shout out to our driver Surrender, he was fantastic driving through the crazy traffic in both Delhi and Agra. He also stayed with the bus as we stopped whenever we stopped to visit the local sites or eat. This allowed us to leave our belongings on the bus throughout. The tour group gave us an itinerary beforehand and upon arrival but ultimately left it up to us to do what we wanted. The Taj Mahal and Agra Red Fort were on the list in addition to some recommended spots from our tour guide. If we weren't up for something they changed the plan and kept moving forward. They arranged lunch for us on both days at the Taj Mahal Restaurant in Agra which was very good. They really made the whole trip easy, no hassle whatsoever.
