Behind the Taj Mahal with Sunrise or Sunset view by Tuk Tuk Ride

Great communication for the time of booking. Farid and tuk tuk driver were spot on time. I loved every minute of the tuk tuk drive (felt safe despite crazy driving in Agra)...Farid was knowledgeable without being overkill..showed me the best photo spots, told me some really interesting facts, unfortunately no sunset due to fog but honestly Taj Mahal looked amazing anyway...Farid is a willing photographer (albeit I dont usually pose for photos, he took some great ones which I love...see pics I've uploaded). Went to a store for souvenirs on the way back, the sweetest man in there. So sales pitch whatsoever, quality of goods is unreal..I did purchase but it was cos I wanted the items and a great price too...In summary, trip is under priced for what you get and you totally should book...Thanks for a great afternoon /evening

What a great time this was! It was fun, crazy and overall fantastic. Our party of 5 was met in our hotel lobby by two guides and walked to our tuk-tuks. A mad dash through city streets brought us near the Taj Mahal, which we'd visited earlier in the day. A short walk brought us to our bikes !. The 2 ladies of the group went by cycle rickshaw the poor man had his work cut out for him!, but the gentlemen in the party along with the guides went to the river by bicycle. There was a little bit of a wait because the small boat captain was working with the police to free another boat that was stuck in the mud the river was very low, but we had a beautiful view of the Taj Mahal while we waited. Finally, a short walk down the embankment beware of cow patties and other debris on the banks, the Yamuna River and riverbank is very polluted, and onto a small wooden boat where we sat on the flat, wooden, open deck of the boat and were punted into the river by our captain as the sun was going down. It was definitely beautiful, see my photo. The boat ride was short, but we took as many pictures as we wanted and it was actually very serene. Back on dry land again, we reversed our trip and were soon back where we dropped the bikes off and walking to our tuk tuks. Our guide asked us if we wanted to stop by his uncle's shop on the way back to the hotel and we agreed. A VERY mad dash through the busy and crowded streets OMG, traffic is simply CRAZY in Agra!, and we were at the uncle's shop and enjoying the opportunity of a little bit of shopping such beautiful fabrics away from the crowds. Back in the tuk tuks soon after and back to our hotel just down the road. We had a seriously fantastic time, although at times we'd wondered what we'd gotten ourselves in for. I would highly recommend this trip, we were safely transported to and from and we really had a great time. It's one of the highlights of our big trip to India.
