A scam - don't book with them

Orlando_Q, Oct 2024

Nothing about this tour is as advertised. No tuk tuk. We were picked up in a car. Pick up time was supposed to be at 6pm for a sunset tour. They "forgot" that sunset was at 5:45. They called us at 5pm to tell us a driver would be at our hotel in 10 minutes. We rushed out, only to have to wait for him. Then we stopped to pick up a guide who was not at the pick up point. Realizing we would miss the sunset, I urged the driver to leave. Traffic at that time was horrible. There was a nine-day festival taking place. The tour operator failed to take this into account. When we arrived at the viewing site, the road had been barricaded by local ruffians and required a payment to allow us to proceed. After much shouting back and forth with our driver, we were allowed to proceed. Our driver parked blocks away from the entrance to the viewing platform. Another scam was a tram to take us from the parking to the entrance. He also demanded payment. To our surprise, we would not be allowed into the viewing platform unless we paid an entrance fee. After several calls to the tour operator, Salamat, the driver came running to pay the entrance fee. I asked Salamat why none of these fees had been paid for. He went around in circles with no clear explanation. So what did we pay for? The tour page on Viator clearly claims everything is included in the tour package. When we finally arrived at the viewing area, the sun had set almost 30 minutes earlier. This company robbed us of this special moment in our only night in Agra. The tour operator later sent us an email filled with inaccurate information, including a reference to "last minute booking" ( we booked almost a month ago ), and taking credit for having "paid" for fees. So again, WHAT DID WE PAY FOR? Don't use this company. It is a scam. You will be very disappointed.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dear Mr Orlando Thank you for your feedback. We regret that the experience did not meet your expectations, and I’d like to address the concerns you raised. Firstly, we provided a complimentary upgrade from a tuk-tuk to a car, as we noticed that a tuk-tuk may not have been the most comfortable option for you due to weight restrictions. This was done to ensure your comfort during the tour. Regarding the pickup, your hotel is located only 15 minutes away from the sunset point, and we arranged for your pickup 45 minutes prior. Unfortunately, traffic jams can happen unexpectedly, especially during festival times, which was beyond our control. Despite the delay, we ensured you arrived at the location as quickly as possible. To save your time, we also paid for your entrance tickets, which were not included in the package, as an extra courtesy. As per Indian Supreme Court regulations, cars are not allowed inside the Taj Mahal premises, and parking is located at a distance. Visitors must use non-polluting vehicles such as golf-carts or battery-operated rickshaws, and we provided this service free of cost, even though it was also excluded from the package. Our driver went above and beyond by accompanying you from the parking lot to the viewing point, despite not being allowed inside after parking, to ensure you reached the site without any hassle or delays. We hope this clarifies the situation, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. We value your feedback and will use it to improve our services in the future. Thank you for your understanding.

What a great time this was! It was...

What a great time this was! It was fun, crazy and overall fantastic. Our party of 5 was met in our hotel lobby by two guides and walked to our tuk-tuks. A mad dash through city streets brought us near the Taj Mahal, which we'd visited earlier in the day. A short walk brought us to our bikes !. The 2 ladies of the group went by cycle rickshaw the poor man had his work cut out for him!, but the gentlemen in the party along with the guides went to the river by bicycle. There was a little bit of a wait because the small boat captain was working with the police to free another boat that was stuck in the mud the river was very low, but we had a beautiful view of the Taj Mahal while we waited. Finally, a short walk down the embankment beware of cow patties and other debris on the banks, the Yamuna River and riverbank is very polluted, and onto a small wooden boat where we sat on the flat, wooden, open deck of the boat and were punted into the river by our captain as the sun was going down. It was definitely beautiful, see my photo. The boat ride was short, but we took as many pictures as we wanted and it was actually very serene. Back on dry land again, we reversed our trip and were soon back where we dropped the bikes off and walking to our tuk tuks. Our guide asked us if we wanted to stop by his uncle's shop on the way back to the hotel and we agreed. A VERY mad dash through the busy and crowded streets OMG, traffic is simply CRAZY in Agra!, and we were at the uncle's shop and enjoying the opportunity of a little bit of shopping such beautiful fabrics away from the crowds. Back in the tuk tuks soon after and back to our hotel just down the road. We had a seriously fantastic time, although at times we'd wondered what we'd gotten ourselves in for. I would highly recommend this trip, we were safely transported to and from and we really had a great time. It's one of the highlights of our big trip to India.
