This was a great trip full of wonderful and varied experiences plus a number of highlights including: Bodh Gaya and important Buddhist sites, Varanasi, the Taj Mahal, Shimla and The Golden Temple at Amritsar. Travelling by train proved to be fascinating and a good way to meet people, even if it was not always totally comfortable. Pemba was an excellent tour guide, caring, well organised, knowledgeable and extremely likeable. I would certainly recommend the trip as a good way to explore this part of northern India.
We love the tour. Great guides in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Don’t miss the rickshaw ride through the spice market incredible. Elephant ride at Amer Fort in Jaipur was also amazing. India is such an interesting place. Definitely recommend this tour
Join us on this private, guided day tour of Taj Mahal and Agra from Jaipur. We will pick you up from your hotel or location in Jaipur at around 6:00 am and drive you to Agra in a private, air-conditioned car. Your first destination is the Unesco World Heritage site of Taj Mahal, a 17th-century mausoleum built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal.
Admire this breathtaking architectural monument from different perspectives while taking a stroll on its gardens. See its white, marble domes and pillars shimmering in the morning light. Your driver will then take you to Agra Fort, a massive, 16th-century sandstone fortress that served as a palace, fortress, and prison for Shah Jahan, the emperor behind the Taj Mahal.
Explore the maze of pavilions, mosques and courtyards inside the walls of the fort. Notice the synthesis of various architectural styles before it is time to drive back to Jaipur. Please note that entrance fees to the monuments mentioned above is not included in the tour price and will have to be paid by travellers themselves.
Please note that this tour can be booked by travellers staying in Delhi as well. All you need to do is choose the pickup fromDelhi option while booking this tour.
In sights, sounds, smells, it was exhilarating. Culturally, historically & religiously, my eyes were opened much wider. I immensely enjoyed the total experience. Kudos to CEO, Som and to Gadventures! Thank you
I feel like I've seen as much of India as possible in a month. There was a full range of activities that included "must-see" sites. There was a balance of occasional free time without sacrificing getting as much out of our day as possible! The high opinion I have of your CEOs has remained intact--I don't know how you are able to harvest such high quality individuals to lead the tours. I love G Adventures.

I went to Agra from Delhi solo for a sunrise tour of the Taj Mahal- even though my hostel was way out of the way, these guys were kind enough to pick me up so I didnt have to solo-metro at 2 am. The drive was comfy, the schedule was totally up to me (awesome!) and my driver was very sweet.
The scenic and energetic northern state of Rajasthan is awash with all the colours of India. On this 15-day journey, you’ll learn the history of massive forts, witness the opulence of Maharajahs' palaces and stroll through local markets, all with a local leader by your side to give you the inside scoop.
