Everything was handled for us — flights, hotel, transfers, and tours to Mehtab Bagh and Jama Masjid, Agra. Great communication from the consultant before departure too.

Booked this as a couple trip and it was well paced. Akbar's Tomb, Sikandra in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

Agra is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Yamuna riverfront near Agra Fort. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

Taj Mahal alone was worth the trip, but combined with Taj Mahal this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.
