Everything worked as planned. We were picked up in the hotel and brought to rail station and accompanied to our seats. At Agra were greeted by Raj, our tour guide. Small misunderstanding that we waited at the platform and he was waiting for us outside, sorted out quickly.
Visited taj mahal, baby taj and Agra fort, had lunch at the Marriott hotel, all good.
On the way back the train was late, but again apart from that we were brought to our train and greeted by our driver back in delhi.

My mother and I had only a few days to visit Delhi, and I couldn’t be happier we chose this tour. Vivek was absolutely amazing and made our trip invaluable. First the tour: the train was safe, authentic and fast and the food was quite tasty. The Taj Mahal is too beautiful to describe in words and we also got to see the Red Fort which was a can’t miss. Now Vivek: Not only is he knowledgeable about the Taj and other historical sites you’ll visit, but he could talk indefinitely about Indian culture, life, and history. I truly have never felt so comfortable with a guide, and by the end not only had I learned so much, my mother and I gained a friend. I could not recommend this tour more with Vivek and look forward to booking with him again when we come back.

Great Tour with Vivek
for Taj Mahal Tour by Gatimaan Train/Rail All Inclusive
On the first full day of our first trip to Delhi, we took a day trip to Agra with Vivek Handa, whom we found through ToursWithLocals. The day was seamless—Vivek got us seated the high speed train, talked with us during the ride about Indian culture and what we would see in Agra, then guided us though the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and Baby Taj (the last of which was not on the itinerary but which Vivek squeezed in to accommodate our interests). The train ride was fun, with surprisingly good food (choose non-veg if it fits your diet), although the view suffered a bit because of seasonal smog. Once at the sites, Vivek clearly was a familiar and well-liked guide, which helped us get, for example, that extra precious minute at the Taj tomb to see the glowing red stones. The Taj Mahal, is just what you have been told it is—magnificent. But don’t discount the Agra Fort, which is fascinating in its own right. If you’re looking for a local guide, I would highly recommend Vivek. He is knowledgeable, calm, easy to talk with, and has a good sense of humor. We felt safe and well taken care of, and we were never once bored or ill at ease during what was a very long day—how often can you say that?

for Delhi Shopping Tour
Vivek took us to the Chandni Chowk market for the most delicious food tour! He knew right where to take us in the bustling market. We took a rickshaw for part of the tour and then the car with an excellent driver (Ram) was waiting for us when we exited the market. Everything was well organized and we even received a recipe book from the Spice Market which I'm excited to use as soon as we get home!
