Golden Triangle 2-Day Tour to Agra and Jaipur from Delhi by Train

Great tour experience for golden triangle

This tour perfectly met our needs. My review below shares details, but overall, we were treated so well, always supported by a driver and manager or tour guide, and were able to shape our tour based on our interests. Outstanding tour guides and staff were the highlights. I would have liked to have received some of the details a little earlier. That’s my only “complaint”. For instance, other tours usually respond almost immediately upon purchase, I didn’t receive info until we were already traveling to India for this one. But this is really a mild issue. Also, we went to some standard shops that are typical on Indian tours. I did not feel pressured though. I didn’t like anything at the shop in Agra, but it was nice to have an air con break with bathrooms and water so we looked at all the wares. In Jaipur, I wanted block printing so we went to a store for that. I’m sure I overpaid, but had some lovely duvet covers made which are nice quality. I also had some local recommendations and those visits were also nicely accommodated. This was really a strong door-to-door golden triangle tour. Now the details…We took the train Delhi to Agra. We were collected at our hotel by driver KK Sharma and taken to the train station where we met our "guy". I’m not sure which was Sunil or sahil. We were treated so well. Walked into the station and all the way onto the train. The train station is an entire experience in India! We were situated in our seats before he left us for the trip. The train ride was a couple hours and lovely. We had tea but didn’t ever get the breakfast included in the train trip. Mukesh was our driver for the Agra-Jaipur trip and touring each city. He was safe and managed to get us safely between cities despite the incredibly wild driving on the highway between cities! Our tour guide in Agra was Rocky/Praveen. Wow. I’ve already recommended him to others. He gave us such an efficient tour of Taj Majal and other sites, which is exactly what we wanted. I’d been before, so didn’t want a formal photographer. Rocky was BORN to be a photographer and positioned us at all the right spots. We never felt rushed but we were never bored. Really, the perfect tour. Again, the drive between cities was wild. This was scary for me and I’ve traveled the roads of India before. Frankly, concerns over road transport are why we took the train on some legs. But Mukesh got us there in one piece. He was focused and experienced. In Jaipur, we stayed at the KK Royal, which was a nice stay. Breakfast was just okay. The view from the room of the red fort was incredible and we enjoyed watching the resident monkeys from our room. At the end of a day of touring, we needed comfy sleeping and we had that for sure! Day two was a tour of Jaipur. Our tour guide was also amazing. Unfortunately, I’ve waited too long since the tour to write my review and don’t have any messages from him with his name! He knew all the history and agreed to take us to a local boutique shop so I could get the items I wanted. He also took photos of us and managed to show so much of Jaipur to us in a short time. He also accompanied us to the train. The return trip from Jaipur to Delhi was not as nice as Delhi-Agra, in that it was longer and my husband and I were not seated together. We got in late in the evening, but on time, and were collected by the same driver and manager who brought us to the train station at the start. We went back to our hotel near the airport with no problems. I’d definitely recommend this tour to others. I’d suggest five star accommodation. It would be nice if there was a bit more communication prior and return train tickets would have been purchased earlier so they were together. These are really minor issues to make the tour company aware. I’d use the tour company again for other tours in India and look forward to doing so on future trips. Thank you!

Wonderful service, amazing experience

We had an overall excellent experience on our tour. Before our travel dates, company CEO Raj Sharma helpfully communicated with us on details and options. All of the logistics went smoothly, and the escorts to and from the train stations were especially helpful - the stations would definitely have been a bit chaotic and intimidating otherwise! Our driver, Prem, who stayed with us both days and for the long drive between Agra and Jaipur, was friendly and helpful. Our guides, Tony in Agra and Ashok in Jaipur, were knowledgeable and professional and made sure everything ran smoothly, down to identifying the best picture spots and helping navigate aggressive vendors. Ashok in particular was a delightful companion and incredible resource for our day in Jaipur. And the sites themselves were of course amazing. It's hard for anything to compete with the Taj Mahal - it would be worth a visit all by itself - but we really loved our time in Jaipur also. Our hotel for the night (The Lemon Tree) was very nice, our lunch at a local restaurant was delicious, Amber Fort was gorgeous, the City Palace museum was great, and we learned a ton at the fascinating Jantar Mantar. It was a packed but well organized itinerary, and the time at each site felt sufficient for us. The shopping excursions in both Agra and Jaipur may not be for everyone's tastes - the sales pitches at the shops can be a bit heavy-handed by US standards - but we ended up happy with the purchases we made (just remember you're never required to buy anything!). It was a trip of a lifetime for us, and we'd definitely recommend Nikita Holidays and our guides, for anyone considering a visit.

First I should thank the man behind...

<p>First I should thank the man behind the scene Mr Raj Sharma for organising a fantastic tour for us. From the time Sunil Kumar picked us from the hotel we felt that we are confident of what to come. It became really colourful and enjoyable with our Jaipur Guide Mr Farooq. He was the best guide we ever had so far in our Indian tours. not only he listened to all our requests but also his suggestions made it a remarkable memory. We were little worried when the train reached Jaipur little late the surrounding was dark, but when we saw the young silent driver with our names with him we were happy, Dara Singh did his best to make us calm and comfortable. We also got better accommodation than what we were expecting for the total price we paid for. If not for our cancelling Agra shopping part that left us doing nothing for 4 hours in a hotel lobby for the fear of getting ripped off - that we experienced before we would have given five stars for this <br/> excellent tour.</p>
