This was a very rewarding experience, but it is definitely not for everyone. Everyone associated with the tour was incredible. They stayed in constant contact with us, and updated us with all necessary information. Our guide in Agra, Gary, was incredible, fun and provided us with just the right amount of detailed information. Our driver from Delhi to Agra made the 4 hour trip EACH WAY as safe and pleasant as possible. The reason I am saying this tour is not for everyone is because of the incredibly tight time schedule and almost unfathomable crush of people, both at the Taj Mahal, and every step along the way. From the time we woke up until the time we returned to the hotel, this tour lasted 23 hours (we had flight delays from Delhi back to Mumbai). We are very seasoned travelers and in reasonably good health for being in our early 60s. I do not believe the pace of this excursion would be compatible with elderly people for those who are not in good physical condition. I would also recommend that if your finances can support it, ask the tour operator if they can potentially upgrade your airline tickets.To what they call stretch seating, which is the equivalent of first class in most parts of the world. Our Indi Go plane was fairly new and perfectly clean, but the seats are very small and cramped. I am just under 6'3" tall and my knees had nowhere to go. I asked about the potential upgrade of the seats when we were at the airport, but by then they were all taken. Having said all of that, we have no regrets whatsoever and would absolutely consider doing this tour again. Viator is very selective on local tour companies with whom they choose to associate. Saleem Khan was running point on this entire operation and anticipated every need and question that we might have. His team was superb from top to bottom.
