Surbhi rajan –
My husband and I booked the 2 Days Agra Fatehpur Sikri Tour with Mathura Vrindavan Tourism, and it was a wonderful experience. Our trip started with a smooth pickup from Agra Cantt station, and everything was well-organized from start to finish. Visiting the Taj Mahal at sunrise was a surreal experience, and our guide shared fascinating historical details. Fatehpur Sikri was equally mesmerizing, and I’m glad we added it to the itinerary. The hotel was comfortable, and our driver was punctual and professional. Highly recommended for a quick yet enriching getaway
