  It's NOT a sunrise tour as we arrived an hour too late. I saw the sunrise on the highway. Other scams: 1) The breakfast was offered in an overpriced (1000 rupees) basic guesthouse. 2) After a total of 1,5 hours in Taj Mahal and Agra fort combined, the guide takes me to 3 different scam shops. These were never part of the itinerary and absolute waste of time, money and dignity. 3) Overpriced marble products, rugs and handicrafts with well fabricated lies. 4) The guide was a useless, liar dude with little knowledge about anything else than the scam shops. STAY AWAY from this scam. Not worth spending 16 hours on a trip with only 1,5 hours of site visits. Just book a simple Uber ride for 20% of the tour price.

  Wir hatten nur einen kurzen Stop-over und daher war die Zeit etwas knapp für die örtliche Planung. Es hat alles wunderbar geklappt, sehr angenehmes Personal, privater Fahrer, super Organisation. Gerne wieder.

  This tour is a must if you are pressed for time and want to see the Taj Mahal from Delhi. We got picked up at 2.15am by Umashanker who is a great driver. He had water and snacks for us in the car. He even has a blanket for you. We slept on the way there and our guide was Arun once we arrived. He was very informative and took alot of great photos for us at the Taj. After this we had an all you can eat buffet which was amazing and worthwhile. Then a trip to the fort which is very interesting and had a view of the Taj Mahal which was quite nice. This was the end of the day and we went back to Delhi. This is probably the best way to see thw Taj from Delhi ! Great tour.

  Tour is definitely worth the trip, Taj Mahal is beautiful and the earlier you get there the better to miss crowds. The tour guide we had in Agra was very good. He took many photos for us and gave us useful information about the Taj Mahal and Agra. The drive was ok, however the car did not have all the seatbelts and there was the occasional time when the driver was on his phone. The weird part was the “big boss” came to see us at lunch and made me and my friend write a review, he sat next to us and watched us write our original review. Overall great experience!

  The driver pick me up at 2:30am in Delhi, but I could sleep during the trip to Agra so it wasn’t tiring. My guide Vivek knew a lot of spots to take photos so I really don’t think it’s necessary a photographer during your visit. The guide was really open to listen, and was always showing me the best angles and spots to photos! Thank you very much !!

  Our sunrise trip to the Taj Mahal was spectacular. The driver was safe and accommodating to all our needs. Upon arrival at the Taj Mahal we met our guide who facilitated getting our tickets and escorting us through the temple and grounds. He was real versed in photography and new the best shots to get. After the Taj Mahal we had breakfast, then onto the Red Fort. Our guide was with us the entire way. After the Red Fort we had a terrific Indian Cuisine lunch and our driver drove us back to Delhi. I would highly recommend using Usmani Taj Private Tours for your Taj Mahal trip.

  We've been to India last two times we had the good fortune to travel with Riyaj. It can be hard to find a good driver who really has your best interest in mind and whose goal it is to maximize your experience but Riyaj is that driver. He is fun to be with, speaks English well, and knows Rajasthan and nearby areas like the back of his hand. Though we directed the itinerary, Riyaj was full of information and recommendations and often found fascinating places (sites, villages, food, etc) we knew nothing about that added greatly to our travel experience. Perhaps what I appreciated most was his help in meeting local people on an individual level in ways we could never have done on our own and in pointing out unique characteristics of a town & its people in ways not even mentioned in guidebooks. He is good at finding hotel bargains below what I could negotiate but never "pushed" a hotel or anything else for that matter. Sometimes we picked the hotel, sometimes we went with his recommendation. At major sites (Taj Mahal, etc) Riyaj knows the tricks to allow you to see things efficiently and with the least hassle. Riyaj has an uncanny ability to read situations and his explanations of what was going on around us helped us see India in ways we'd missed before traveling with him. In short order, we felt like we were traveling with a friend rather than hiring a driver.

  It was really a pleasure for us. For our India trip. we choose for Siraj. He was a good driver, know hidden places and organized still hotels. The prices are still valuable and we really enjoy.
