Our trip to Agra was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Sadar Bazaar was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond Agra Fort and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Booked this as a solo trip and it was well paced. Agra Fort in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.
