This is the first time we book with agatetravel. I was skeptical about the coordination before the trip. We landed in Delhi, traveled to Jaipur, then to Agra and finally back to Delhi. Everything was conducted smoothly with no complaints or problems. Our guides and drivers were excellent and dedicated to showing us Indian charm. They were responsible for our safety. Exceptional service! Definitely use Agate again!

The monuments we visited during our India tour were amazing. The Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Ghats were all eye-catching and we took many fabulous photos in our guides’ recommended spots. Our guides were warm, approaching and helpful! Their thorough explanations of Indian culture and history got my focus and actually made me enjoy learning about those great heritage buildings. A perfect tour and I can’t recommend this company enough!
