Fancy tour !!
I had the best time during that tour ! I arrived very early and was the first person to enter the Taj Mahal thanks to my wonderful guide ! He knows how to take the best pictures, I would really really recommend Arif as a guide, because he knows how to make you spend an amazing time in Agra!!! We went to a fancy restaurant for breakfast +++ Thanks again :)

Well organised tour!
Everything was well organised, the very punctual driver showed up at the reception to drive me very carefully to Agra. I benefited from a private tour 😊 The guide Farhan provided very good explanations during the visit to the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. It was very comfortable to be accompanied, not to have to wait and to bring back beautiful photos. I highly recommend this responsive and serious agency.

We’ll organised tour with best guide
We had a day trip from Delhi to Agra to see beautiful Taj Mahal. Everything was well organised, the driver was friendly, stopped for chai on the way and drove safely to the crowded streets. Guide Farhan was absolutely amazing, polite, knowledgeable and guided us in a most professional way. We saw and learned a lot and will never forget this amazing trip!

Highly Recommended. Worth of Money
This tour was great and met my needs perfectly. VIKRIM Singh, my driver was exceptional. He's an excellent driver and he really looked out for my well being. Farhan was a great guide at keeping me informed, answering questions and checking in with me during the trip. Most of the sights and activities were terrific. Super fun and educational also Danish oir tour manager was very helpful and was always asking for our comfort and security.

!!!!!PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!
Summary: - They will not allow you to visit the monuments and will make excuses for why you can't visit them. You will have to take pics from far away/inside the car. Hardly a tour, more of a taxi ride. - They will expect big tips despite cheating you out of viewing monuments. - They will keep trying to take you to their friends' clothes shops with high prices for a comission - They will skip monuments and try and make you agree to it so they can blame you/say you agreed - They will insist on 6 am checkouts and even 11pm/2am check outs - this is crazy and makes no sense. The driver will want to drive early at 5/6am and tell you to sleep in the car so he can avoid a small amount of traffic - You will have to fight for every last thing that they have advertised and try to hold conference calls with the company office and the driver + tour guides to negotiate for what you already paid for. - I had to get a refund from the platform I used to book the tour in the first place - in summary this tour company will scam you out of your money - please avoid at all costs
Response from the operator: Hello sir / mam , Can you please share the details when you booked the tour with us please share the booking ID number with us this almost one year ago that you have visited one year ago , you please the share all details of your tour with us because this quite strange that you are responding one year after , if you had a bad experience with Arush Tours then why you don’t put the review instantly after your tour . Plz share your Tours details so we can look in it , because we have doubt , this is not belongs to us , you have posted on a wrong Supplier or Travel company ( Arush Tours) This review is effecting us so explain the things which i am requesting to you . Regards Danish

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Delhi: Sunrise Taj Mahal & visit Elephant Conservation: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does From Delhi: Sunrise Taj Mahal & visit Elephant Conservation cost?
+
Prices start at $48 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New Delhi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Delhi: Sunrise Taj Mahal & visit Elephant Conservation take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New Delhi is not rushed.
Is From Delhi: Sunrise Taj Mahal & visit Elephant Conservation worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New Delhi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Delhi: Sunrise Taj Mahal & visit Elephant Conservation?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is From Delhi: Sunrise Taj Mahal & visit Elephant Conservation suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Delhi: Sunrise Taj Mahal & visit Elephant Conservation?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New Delhi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New Delhi and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Delhi: Sunrise Taj Mahal & visit Elephant Conservation start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New Delhi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New Delhi?
+
On Outty we rank every New Delhi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Taj Mahal & Agra Fort Private Day Trip From Delhi with 5* Lunch, 5 Nights 6 Days Private Golden Triangle Tour - Delhi Agra Jaipur, Old & New Delhi Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New Delhi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New Delhi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
