Even though I made the reservation the evening before, they immediately arranged the flight and emailed me the PDF of the flight ticket.
You can rest assured that the reply to the email sent here is relatively quick.
I left the hotel early in the morning, or rather at 2:00 in the middle of the night, and flew from Mumbai to Delhi. During the hotel pick-up on the way, I noticed that the gender on the ticket was wrong, but it was not a problem because I was able to board the plane both ways.
After arriving in Delhi, it took 3 hours and 30 minutes one way to Agra by highway. Our driver, Ravi, made it possible for us to have restroom breaks and snacks at the service area. Don't worry about toilets. Also, it was very nice to have bottled water as a service. I was able to charge my phone via USB in the car. I didn't use it this time, but it seems that there is also Wifi.
When we arrived in Agra, our guide showed us around. Mr. Chilean, our guide, is quite knowledgeable about the site and efficiently tours the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. They will also answer your questions. It also drives away things that are troublesome for tourists, such as selling, hawking, and begging. Not only will they take pictures for you, but they will also show you shortcuts and shaded paths, which is very helpful.
Since I told them at the beginning that I didn't need to stop by the souvenir shop, I didn't waste money or feel bad about not going.
I was worried because I participated alone this time, but it was a very safe tour.
Compared to other tours with similar content, this tour was about 20,000 yen cheaper, including lunch, which was also a deciding factor.
Also, I wanted to use it with the same members.
It would be useful to download WhatsApp in advance to communicate with the local transfer driver and travel agency.
