Well organised trip and incredible driver. Everything ran smoothly and on time. Fragrance of Taj were great and deserve 5 stars for their work. However the safaris themselves were not so great. These were not run by fragrance of taj so I have not reflected our experience in their rating. But this being the 5th country I have been on safari in, it was definitely the worst. Too many people in one vehicle made it uncomfortable throughout, and although we were lucky enough to see a tiger the experience was ruined by the other people in the vehicle literally using you as a climbing frame to get a better view. At times it became so aggressive with people pushing and hitting it was quite scary and not enjoyable or peaceful. I would 100% recommend fragrance of Taj to book an experience through, however I wouldn't entirely recommend Ranthambore as a destination.Show more

Sanjeev was the perfect guide. He very quickly learnt my likes (music, kirtan, temples) and dislikes (hot & spicy food - I know that’s impossible in India but he made sure my food was the best for me) and endeavoured to make sure everything was perfect, adjusting our itinerary where needed to give me the best experience. He gave brilliant advice with everything I needed for a first trip to India, and made sure I was always given the best of everything. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again, or recommend him for solo female travellers (or anyone else!). I’ll be booking with him again in the future!Show more

Amazing Amazing Amazing. This tour was just what I needed for my 2 days in India. The driver and the tour guide Mohan and Gulshan were very professional. They took time to figure what else I wanted to do that was not included in the tour. If you wanted to make a pit stop they did it. They were very knowledgeable about Agra and Taj Mahal. They also kept you safe with people hounding you. They never left you alone to figure it out they were always there to step in. As a female solo traveler I felt very safe and I highly recommend fragrance of Taj. From the time you book with them it’s instant communication. Thank you for everythingShow more
