Four-Day Private Luxurious Golden Triangle Tour to Agra & Jaipur

Posted By : Dhanrat
We did the 3 day tour of jaipur, agra and Delhi. The entire booking was done via WhatsApp and we'd arranged to be picked up from delhi Airport.

Everything was prompt and on time as they booked the hotels for us and all we had to do is sit and enjoy the ride. The individual tour guides in each city were friendly and very knowledgeable and were good to speak to about other things about India, like the best places to eat, as well as about the history of the areas we visited.

Speaking of food, if you're a foodie don't let the driver take you to the places he's been recommended to take you as these are touristy and pricey (for india). I think this is because they don't want you to get ill so they stick to well known places. We told our driver to take us to local places and the food was better and cheaper, but maybe not as clean feeling if you're travelling with kids or you're just a bit ocd when it comes to cleanliness. You won't experience real indian food if you eat at tourist joints! Eat where the indians eat and if you're scared of catching delhi belly make sure you take a probiotic tablet daily - it'll work wonders.

The daily itinerary call also be flexed as its your holiday, so I'd recommend asking to skip some of the sales stops such as the colour dye and painting shops and marble shops, unless you have a general interest in these things and want to buy a gift.

Ajay, our tour guide in Agra was really knowledgeable and he has some amazing ear hair, like a moustache, but on your ears! He helped us skip queues at the Agra Fort and at the Taj Mahal when queuing to buy tickets.

Also as a tip, if you have an OCI or student card then bring it, as it heavily discounts entry to local prices, which is next to nothing if you're a westerner.

A lil about me, I'm a British born Indian, on holiday with a good buddy of mine. We headed off to Thailand after our 5 night stint in India.

We had a great experience. Our driver Monu was fantastic taking us from place to place and filling in details of Indian culture. The Delhi guide Mahendrapal was extremely excellent. Everywhere guides were great, knowing everything about the history of each location and also the best photo angles. Hotels were pleasant and had included breakfast. And lastly the locations are spectacular. We had an amazing time and greatly appreciated how easy India Trip Designer made everything.

Amazing Experience! Highly recommend “Manoj Sharma”as he was very attentive and understanding towards our specific needs. This tour was so great to go on, I would definitely recommend it to anyone that visits Delhi-Agra-Jaipur. I had no idea what to expect from visiting many attractions within Delhi/Agra/Jaipur and this tour, and our fantastic tour guides (Joseph, Sunny, Sharma and Manoj) were super informative and great with our family throughout the tour. Least but not last, our amazing driver “Shiv Kumar”, who was very patient, caring and did not hesitate to take us to areas where we were interested in seeing some local work. Hotels were spot on and exceeded our expectations. Definitely worth the trip!

First, I want to say that Manoj is incredible! He was friendly, accommodating and responded quickly to any inquiries we had.
Our driver, Raj was so sweet and kind but we wished he spoke a little more English. Communicating with him at times was difficult but we got by and he stopped whenever we needed him to for the bathroom, etc. He was always on time and ready for the adventure!
I think our biggest issues were with the tour guides, government buildings and hotels. We paid for a 4star hotel package and the only one that was absolutely exceptional was the Jaypee Palace in Agra. The others were OK. The last one, in Jaipur kept having power outages and there was mold on the walls.
The tour guides either knew their stuff or didn't. There were only 2 that were fantastic and knowledgeable, Raj in Agra and Vipin in Jaipur. The others names were forgettable unfortunately. They felt scripted, like they didn't want to be there or just wanted to bring us to tourist traps and be done with the day.

The last bit I didn't like was being brought to specific shops and/or 'government' shops to buy stuff. After talking to many locals and hotel staff, these places have highly overpriced goods and take your money. We found as we went along that if we wanted something, we had to bargain and bargain HARD. Naturally you should bargain anyways but I've never had to bargain so hard as they were really pushy. If they offer and you don't want to go, just say so. It's your trip. I felt many times it was hard to tell if the people and goods in these shops were genuine.
Overall, we had a great time and I would recommend them to others but perhaps read through the reviews and make some specific requests for guides, etc if you are able to.

The itinerary was exactly perfect for me. They will tailor it to your desires too. The driver was very much a skilled professional. I felt completely safe with him. The tour guides in each of the cities were also accomplished professionals. They made me feel very welcome and they kept me completely and fully informed of every site I visited. The services of all these gentlemen were impeccable. They answered all my questions. They took us anywhere within their territory that we needed to go, like an ATM, a good restaurant, a particular type of merchant for souveniers. The tour company representative, Manoj, was totally attentive and responsive to all my queries. I didn't have to wonder about anything. They are all completely trustworthy and professional. Thank you for making my dream come true! I traveled along with a family who had young children, we were all comfortable and safe the entire time.

Had a wonderful time exploring the golden triangle this week. The cities of Agra, Jaipur and Delhi were amazing, beautiful and so much to see.

Manoj was very helpful in booking, and helped me by booking an extra night in Delhi. Note - as someone who likes to have all confirmations, you likely won't get that, probably the only part that I would improve on all the pre booking.

Surendra was my driver and was friendly and helpful from the moment I arrived at Delhi Airport. Lots of good conversation - something that is needed for what are quite long journeys between cities!

Hotels - agra Hotel was amazing, food was incredible, service was lovely.
Jaipur - hotel was nice, food was alright (good choice, just not as tasty as agra!) good service.
Delhi - alright hotel/service. Felt more like a budget chain hotel, a little in disrepair. Food was nice, but very basic choice. Felt like a step down on the first two hotels

Guides
Aje in Agra - lovely, knowledgeable, friendly, kind, superb.
Gurga - matter of fact. Very knowledgeable but like reading from a script. A bit off hand.
Surendra guided in Delhi, was great 👌

Sights
Agra - all amazing. Taj, fort, local marble craftsmen and carpet warehouse - the craftsmen and warehouse were kind, hospitable and very educational. Of course they want to sell, but very happy to explain and show how things are made.
Jaipur - very busy city, full of tourists. Felt obliged to go to a store that sold gems (and everything else) - and the owners were not happy that I wasn't interested in buying. Surendra took me to the royal crematorium which was empty and so much more interesting to visit because not on the tourist trail. He also arranged to get to see some Elephants at a "village" (on my request) which was great although I'm pretty sure I got ripped off on price.
Delhi - a day of tombs and temples. Fascinating, enjoyable, but Delhi really is a city of smog!

All in all a great trip, would def recommend India trip designers. Would recommend the tour too

Just returned from an incredible tour of the Golden Triangle –Delhi-Agra-Jaipur.We would highly recommend the golden triangle tour! From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty, we stayed in some lovely hotels and found that we had the perfect amount of time for each of the attractions we visited. Our driver was Surendra Singh and he made us feel very welcome, we always felt safe and happy with him, he had a great local knowledge, we would love to return and do another tour with India Trip Designer as we feel we made a good choice to explore beautiful India.

Manoj was very responsive from the time I submitted a query from the website. He was very flexible to work with in terms of planning the trip. I added a night in Delhi so we can arrive the day before and rest before starting the tour. The guides he arranged did a good job, although the guide in Jaipur kind of rushed us.

The driver Jeetu was very good, he was very helpful during the entire tour, from stocking up bottled water to maintaining a very safe speed of max 90kmph even in 8 lane Delhi to Agra highway. A special mention for this safe driving.

Overall, Manoj was very professional and good to work with. I will certainly plan trips with him in the future and strongly recommend to others as well.
