Our tour was fantastic- great hotels, and our driver Rajesh was excellent- he put us at ease and could help with anything. We had very informative guides and particularly enjoyed our guide Hassan in Agra whose love of the Taj Mahal shone through and the history he shared and all the best places to take photos and have great views. We will definitely consider a return trip to India and Tour Radar and the tour company Fragrance of Taj

I would have put 5 stars, but there was only some mixup with the Holi celebration. It is not clearly explained that the celebration of Holi in the streets is dangerous for women due to possible sexual assault. So, Holi is celebrated in a hotel. We were all unaware of this and would have paid more for security guards in order to celebrate in the streets. Otherwise, our driver was fantastic. He even walked with us to a restaurant the night before Holi in order to ensure our safety. The guides at each of the sites were knowledgeable The hotels were 3 stars, as described in the information. They were clean and the staff were all friendly. The tour staff were very responsive The cost was VERY good for what you were provided. One person in our group was upset that we had to continue to pay for entrance fees, but that was explained in the information provided by the tour company. As mentioned, we would have even paid more if there had been a way to ensure our safety and still celebrate Holi in the streets. That is the only reason I didn't give this tour a 5 star... I had actually taken another tour with this company in the south. There was no confusion on that tour and I would give this company a 5 star for that tour I would still recommend people use this company... I will be coming back to India to visit other parts and I will, for sure, be using this company again
