The Taj Mahal was at the top of our list of sites to see while in India. As one of the seven wonders we wanted to make sure our visit went smoothly and decided the best option would be to get a guide. After reading many reviews, we decided to book a Private Sunrise Taj Mahal and City Tour with Pacific Classic Tours. Our tour began at 5:30am when DK our driver and Mahesh our guide collected us from our hotel. From the moment we met we knew we had made a good choice of tour. They arrived in a very well maintained A/C vehicle which was stocked with complimentary cold bottled water and a small basket containing snacks and hand sanitiser. After introducing themselves we drove to the Taj Mahal where Mahesh had pre purchased tickets for us so we were able to skip the long queue of people waiting to enter. The knowledge Mahesh has about the history and architecture of the Taj is simply outstanding. We moved around the site slowly and he took us to the best locations for photos. Furthermore, I cannot leave this review without mentioning Mahesh has a great eye for a photo! If you want amazing photo memories this tour will not disappoint. After visiting the Taj Mahal we returned to our hotel to have breakfast. This was a welcome break after the early morning pickup, giving us just over an hour to freshen up and recharge our batteries. After breakfast we continued our tour visiting Fatehpur Sikri. On arrival we parked and took a short bus ride to the monument. Here there are 2 sites, one which you pay for and one that is free. The one that is free attracts many people,and tourists are a prime target for scams. Without a guide we could easily have boarded the bus to the other site and had a poor experience. Again Mahesh explained the history and architecture. We asked many questions, and he was able to answer them all. Next we went for lunch at the 5* Marriott Hotel. Lunch was extremely good and another well timed break. Our last stop was the Red Fort which was the perfect end to our day. After the Fort Mahesh explained he could take us to see the famous local marble crafts and how rugs are made. We politely declined as it had been a long day and we had visited a marble shop the previous day. We were really grateful our request was accepted without additional pressure, resistance or objection. It is extremely exhausting for tourists when guides and locals pressure us to visit shops, and it can be tough to exit without making a purchase. I’m summary, we had the most amazing day. The tour is expensive, however if you are only visiting India once then booking with PCT guarantees you will have a great experience and you will make memories to treasure forever.Claudia M

All my life I wanted to visit this palace. I read a lot about it and when I was there, all was as I was expected. And after all of beauties that i saw there, I understood that LOVE is the most beautiful feeling in this world.

Magnificent Building! Summer is the good place to go (as advised by the local as it is too crowded in the winter). Plan well with the driver/tourist guide to either enjoy the great view of the building at the sunset or sunrise.

Great from the beginning to the end. Pick-up on time in the morning, we’ll organized with ticket entrances, water during the whole day and great guide expertise. We left spoiled and protected the entire time. No one will regret this tour.
