The tour of the Taj and the Agra fort were absolutely great. Mohsin, my guide, did a fantastic job and gave me a personal detailed tour of them both. He was fantastic! Attentive, personable, patient, and knowledgable. Lunch was absolutely great. A true treat. I was alone for this trip as I had stopped over after a business trip. Mohsin is clearly something of an amature photographer. He managed to show me some excellent spots for great photos. Every so often he would just say "may I take your phone?" and when he handed it back, there would be some fantastic image I never would have thought to capture. It was also nice to have someone else to take a photo of me, so it wasn't all just selfies. He did a really great job. However, there was one challenge for me. As an American, I was simply not prepared for the high-pressure sales I got at both of the handicraft shops. They both start with a brief demo of a long-lost art related to the Taj Mahal. One is the grinding of gems and marble to create absolutely beautiful inlays. The other is the art of decorating material with beads of gold and silver. Exquisite detail in each. Now, don't get me wrong, they were very friendly, but it was the kind of sales pitch you only get at used car dealers in the states. They went to great lengths to show me all the great wares they had. They served me coffee, called me "my brother" and assured me I was making an investment. "money comes and goes, but this will last a lifetime." I recall the pitch because somehow they all used the same lines. Again, nobody twisted my arms to buy, but they simply would not take "no" for an answer. It wouldn't be such an issue if their goods weren't so VERY expensive. They're hand-crafted, I understand that they're high quality, but I really couldn't afford more souvenirs. If you have trouble with high-pressure sales pitches, be warned, it will be very difficult to walk out without purchasing SOMETHING. I managed to make it out with only a $60 inlaid elephant. It was the cheapest one they had. If I went again, I'd ask to skip the handicraft demos and stick to the sight-seeing.

We as a gang of friends did fantastic trip to Golden Triangle Tour (Agra, Jaipur and Delhi.) I arranged everything through email with Sonia Joyful Holidays and every question was answered every change requested was seen to extremely promptly before we left for India. We had the same driver who would bring us to the 3 cities where we would be met by local guides. We were met at the Airport by our fabulous driver Mr Singh. All the way through our trip he was so helpful and looked after us so well. He was an excellent driver and we felt completely safe driving through the hectic streets with him really couldn't recommend him highly enough. All the guides took loads of time to explain to us many interesting facts and took great photos for us. They were extremely knowledgeable about the areas we visited. It was an amazing trip and everything went smoothly thanks to Sonia and her team for all the attention and details.

We went to the Taj with our 2 year old son, and another couple. It was a very enjoyable time! The trip was very organized and planned out from beginning to end. It was stress free for us, which is a big factor in making the day enjoyable. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of facts. The driver always dropped us off and picked us up near the entry/exit gates. Everyone we worked with to make the trip happen was polite and professional. There was a glitch in our son’s train ticket, and the company is working with us to get a refund. I recommend using this tour company.
