About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Voyager622986800050 contributionsPerfect tour if you only have 3 days availablePerfect tour to visit some of India's most impressive landmarks if you only have 3 days available! Great organization, you don't have to worry about anything. Our car driver (Sunil) was the nicest and we got very insightful perspectives from our tour guides about the monuments we visited and about life in India. We highly recommend it.Written 30 November 2024
- A5272KMricardoc0 contributionsGreat experience!We had a great experience. The landmarks were amazing but our drivers, guides and accomodations made the trip unforgettable. The driver drove carefully and the car was in great condition. The planning was excellent and made our experience seamless, all we had to do was step in and out of the car.Written 29 November 2024
- 166lenv0 contributionsRaj Mahal in 660 minutesI decided to take the sunrise tour which required a 2:30 am pickup at my hotel. My driver, Inderjeet was prompt and friendly and his car was clean and comfortable. He was an excellent driver. We arrived in Agra after about 3 hours we picked up the guide, Donal who was also friendly and very knowledgeable. We went immediately to the Taj Mahal which was amazing. Following that we went to Agra Fort and the “Baby Taj” followed by breakfast at a Courtyard Marriott hotel restaurant. This was followed by a quick stop at a local marble factory where I was able to see the ancient craftsmanship as practiced by the builders of the Taj Majhal. Back to the hotel in Delhi by 1:30 pm. Overall it was a great experience and worth the time. .Written 25 November 2024
- Mobile276565375570 contributionsBest driver!Hi! A friend and I went on a 3 day tour with Crystal India Holidays from Delhi to Agra and Jaipur. It was amazing! Vicky was our excellent driver who kept us safe, shared delightful conversation, and catered to our needs. I highly recommend him as a driver! The sights were phenomenal and accommodations were excellent.Written 24 November 2024
- 550milesc0 contributionsAMAZING TOURWhat a fantastic experience. From enquiring about the holiday to booking and subsequently going, communication was brilliant. Our requests were listened to and a bespoke itinerary was put together. I was travelling in a family group of seven, with my parents in their late eighties. This was a feat in itself but Crystal India holidays made it possible. From the driver Krishan, who was superb, kind and thoughtful and an incredibly skilled driver, to all our knowledgeable and professional guides our experience was perfect. Shiv met us from the plane in Delhi and within minutes we felt he was part of our family. I would recommend his service to anyone. Manish was a great guide in Agra and Manoj was very knowledgeable with our sightseeing in Jaipur. A long review but I could go on and on. If you are thinking of a tour operator please use Crystal India, they were fantastic and made a logistically tricky holiday with parents with mobility issues very easy. I will recommend to family and friends and just hope they extend their business further than northern India!Written 24 November 2024
- Reine B0 contributionsGreat service!Great service! my best friend and I will never forget this tour. Since this is our first time traveling together, I made sure everything was planned and she would have a good experience. I appreciate you making this possible for us. Our driver, Mr. Ashwani, is incredibly patient and nice to us, and our tour guide, Mr. Farman, is very knowledgeable it’s the places we visited . All in all, the trip was fantastic! Without a doubt, I will surely recommend this tour with my friends and family!Written 24 November 2024
- F2788WNandress0 contributionsWonderful Golden triangle tripThank you to our guides who took us to this amazing tour. We learned a lot about the places we visited and history of India. Special thanks to our guide Harsh who was professional, friendly and spoke excellent English. The driver Surinder was experienced and calm in Indian chaotic traffic.Written 24 November 2024
- Wanderer330282547040 contributionsPerfect experience in fair price!The trip was organised very well and all in reasonable price! I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to see Taj Mahal from New DelhiWritten 24 November 2024
- Melanie T0 contributions3 day Luxury Golden Triangle tourWe booked the 3-day Golden triangle tour based on other tripadvisor reviews and we weren’t disappointed. All three guides (one in each city) were knowledgeable and made sure that we had a fantastic experience. Each of the guides know where to take the best photos and will be your ‘photographer’ for the duration of the tour. Our driver, Annu, was kind and courteous and got us to each of hotels safely through the chaotic traffic. There is only one rule when driving in India - there are NO rules! Both hotels (Jaypee Palace, Agra and Novotel, Jaipur) were very good. We opted not to go to any shops or markets and maximized our time seeing the sights. In all, we would definitely recommend Crystal Holidays.Written 23 November 2024
- rpdbrpdbrpdb053019900 contributionsAmazing tour hassle free highly recommendedThe tour was amazing. I would highly recommend especially if you want a hassle free trip. Everything was so comfortable from the well air conditioned car and we had available bottled water. Our driver Jolly was amazing and always went the extra mile. We had different tour guides for everyday but they were all amazing. Thanks again KV, Danish, and Choudhaary! Amit was also amazing and made sure to answer all of our queries and concerns. Everything was organized. As soon as we entered the car, we had a printed itinerary ready. So you’ll have an idea what’s going to happen plus the price of the tickets were already there so you can compute for your expenses in advance. The hotels were perfect for us. The Golden Triangle was simply amazing. Beautiful places! I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends who want to travel to India or anyone for that matter.Written 19 November 2024

- Maggieintravel0 contributionsWonderful tour to golden triangleIt was one of the best tours we have joined. Our driver Vicky was skilful and experienced in managing the busy traffic in India, and we were able to safely visit many important sightseeing spots within 3 days. All the 3 tour guides, especially our tour guide in Agra, were informative and knowledgeable. They made our journey more fruitful and helped to take good pictures too. Our 5-star hotel in Jaipur was spacious and wonderful. Our driver and tour guides all did their best to make sure we were well taken care of. Everything was exceptional and beyond expectation. We would not hesitate to recommend this well organised tour to anyone who wish to visit India!Written 18 November 2024
- Locococomama0 contributionsGood service, some improvements could be hadWe used Crystal for our entire time doing the Golden Triangle, though there were a few things we planned on our own. I did the hotels and our fights as well as Elefantastic and the Safaris. The good: They worked with me as I developed my tour and allowed me to plan what I wanted on my own. We wanted to work in Ranthambore and I had to get a bit creative on the schedule since time was tight, flying into Delhi and then a Jaipur flight the next morning. I did have to find this alternative myself. They were wise about driving instead of the train as it also saved a bit of time and gave us some flexibility. The drivers were great, I couldn't ask for more on that front. Most of our tour guides were decent, with Agra being the best. She was good at getting us the info we needed for sites. Overall, we enjoyed our time in India and saw all the things we wanted to see. Needs improvement: Planning recommendations: I had planned Elefantastic on my own in the morning. Had I been told that Agra Fort is far better in the morning (just way too hot in the afternoon), I would have flipped my day easily. in advance My Jaipur tour guide informed me of this the day prior and there was no way to change it at that point. Once I tried to change the Elefantastic and could not, she kept pressing, saying she would schedule the Elephants at a different place. I had done my research and they are the best and known for their care of the animals (and they do not pay commissions to tour companies as far as I can tell) so I booked them on my own. Even after we were done with the Elephant experience, she kept bringing up that we should have changed it, several times. Finally, I had to say that I did not want to hear it again. Her value as a guide was average as far as telling us about things. We had time and I had my list of potentials and I just wish she had recommended things with the time we had. The Monkey Temple was a great addition that I had to ask for (though my driver was awesome at making the timing work, getting us a guy to play with the monkeys, and getting us bananas to go to another location to feed them, kuddos to him). The first car they put us in had such a strong deodorant that you could not breath. They promptly changed drivers/cars for us, again, big kuddos for this, and we never had to deal with such again. It does say a lot when a company is so responsive and finds a resolution so quickly. Our Delhi guide was just OK. I had to keep asking her, what should we know about this, which is not what you should have to do. She did help come up with a good plan for the day though. Overall, they were fairly priced in comparison to others I looked at and did cater to the schedule I wanted. We enjoyed our time touring with them.Written 18 November 2024
- Ting-Shan H0 contributionsPicture Jaipur-factYogish was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and helpful. We easily traveled between the security checkpoints at sites and avoided most crowds. He loved quizzing us on Rhajistan history and, I’ll admit- flattery for correct responses. He’s also a very good photographer and offered taking us beautiful pictures frequently. The instrument laboratory and Jaipur palace was a lot of fun for us. Our driver Rajinder has excellent manners and the car condition is spot clean. I highly recommend booking with Crystal Hiliday. The tailor we visited also made some great products. The block printing looked beautiful. Recommend staying in Jaipur a night if you can. We commuted from Delhi.Written 18 November 2024
- Travel377757948310 contributionsFabulous glimpse into India today and in historyMy driver, Rajeer, thru out the trip was outstanding. In Delhi we left early to avoid the traffic and crowds, and then returned to the center to visit the gates and old Delhi. The bike tuktuk ride thru old Delhi and the spice market was the highlight. The guide in Agra was exceptional. The Taj even in some fog was mystical, and the baby Taj in blue sky made up for it. A visit to an in-laid marble shop made the craftsmanship come alive. On the way to Jaipur, the visit to the 3000-step 10th century well in Dausa was exceptional. Jaipur too was great, topped by the guide plus our drive and tour of the Amber Fort. I loved seeing the traffic, cows, and even on the express way, carts pulled by oxen, cattle, horses, donkeys, and even camels. Thanks for a fabulous tour.Written 15 November 2024

We had a wonderful day in Agra with our tour guide. I would highly suggest taking the early tour as there are less people, cooler temperatures and better opportunities for photos. Mr. Dubey was a knowledgeable guide and made sure we had everything we needed for the day and taught us the best ways to avoid the normal tourist traps. The driver was also very kind and made sure we had enough water and were comfortable on our 3 hour journey. If you have limited time in Delhi but want to see the Taj Mahal, I’d highly recommend this tour!

Everything was nicely planned. We (2 females in our late twenties) felt safe the entire time. Our coordinator, Amit, was always reachable and gave detailed instructions. Our driver, Bhupinder, drove safely on the roads. He pointed out interesting places throughout the drive. He was alert at all times and polite. He dropped us of at one of the busiest markets in Delhi when we came back and he was so worried about our safety. Gave us good tips to ensure we were safe. Our guide, Sanjay, was simply the best. He took the most amazing pictures for us (see the picture uploaded), shared fun facts, very knowledgeable about the place, warned us of dangers around. He was also funny. Everything followed the schedule and time so well. Had such an amazing time with them.

Getting up early for the sunrise tour was well worth it. No crowds and got there in time to see the sunrise.
Agra fort and the "baby taj" are also very facinating places.
My guide, Manoj, was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. The driver was always punctual and professional.
Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to visit the Taj Mahal

I thoroughly enjoyed my sunrise Taj Mahal tour. I opted for the driver only option, which worked out very well as I was quite happy to walk around alone at my own pace. I was picked up from my hotel in Delhi at 2:30am and we drove 3 hours to Agra. My driver Mr Harbans was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable in the car. He also told me some information about Delhi, the taj, the red fort, and other things along the road which was interesting. But he was also happy to give me some peace and let me sleep along the way!
We made a toilet stop on the journey where there was a few little food places and shops so that was nice to stretch my legs.
It was incredible to see the sunrise at the Taj Mahal, a true moment which made me speechless! So it made the early rise well worth it! The red fort was also very beautiful to look around and the view of the taj from there was great.
The booking process was very easy, and Amit was extremely responsive by email.
I’d definitely book another tour through Crystal India Holidays if I ever return to Delhi, and I’d definitely refer them to anyone, including people traveling solo like me.

I would like to give a reside for my private one day tour to Taj. To begin with, I was not able to pay in advance and Mr Amit allowed me to pay on the day of the trip. It was my bday at that day and the guide brought me the cake!!!))) The driver arrived on time and the guide was knowledgeable and listened to all my wishes. I would highly recommend this company for their caring and loving attention to the customer !

Our trip was perfect! Our driver (Mr. Sohan) was on time and drove very cautiously. He pulled over for us to use the washroom on the way to Agra and again for us to eat lunch on the way back. We felt very safe while riding with him. The 2:30am departure time seems early, but we were able to sleep some in the car on the way there and on the way back so it was definitely worth it. We got to the Taj Mahal before the crowds and we beat the crowds to the other places too! Plus we were leaving the Taj Mahal when it started to get really hot - so it was perfect timing. Our guide (Mr. Dubey) for the Taj Mahal, Agra fort and "Baby Taj" attractions was very nice and knowledgeable. He told us about this history of each site and then answered all our questions as we asked them. He told us a lot of details about the History of India and really took his time explaining things to us. He also gave us some time to wander around by ourselves which we enjoyed. The trip was amazing - highly recommend!

The Agra Taj Mahal Sunrise Tour was an absolute marvel and undoubtedly the highlight of my journey through India. Promptly at 2:30 AM, my driver collected me from the hotel in Delhi, setting the tone for a seamless excursion. Upon our arrival in Agra, we were joined by a local guide whose expertise and amiable demeanor greatly enhanced our experience.
Our adventure commenced with the ethereal sight of the Taj Mahal, where we were privileged to be among the first visitors of the day. Witnessing the Taj Mahal in the serene ambiance of dawn exemplified why I wholeheartedly endorse the sunrise tour. Following this awe-inspiring start, we proceeded to explore several other notable sites, all the while benefiting from the insider knowledge of our guide.
Throughout the day, our guide skillfully navigated us to picturesque spots, ensuring that every moment was a potential postcard. As a solo traveler, I appreciated the flawless execution of the tour, allowing me to immerse myself fully in the experience without any logistical concerns.
In sum, the Agra Taj Mahal Sunrise Tour surpassed all expectations, leaving me with indelible memories and a profound appreciation for the wonders of India.

Going early (2:30) beats the heat and crowds, made it into an even better experience. Most other places start at 5:00 and get you into crowds by the time you arrive at 9:00.
Great guide who knows the location and gets you to see all that Agra has to offer, efficiently before it gets hot (43C or 110F). Great driver, on time, and is always waiting to pick you up (hotel, from Taj, etc.)

Fantastic tour! Not only was the process easy and communication was excellent nothing was ever an issue. Due to flight changes I had to reschedule 2 times both times weren’t an issue and Amit was able to accommodate my request at no extra charge. The driver Sandeep was absolutely fantastic and arrived on time and got me back to the airport. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for a safe and enjoyable experience with great communication and smiles. Thanks again Amit and Sandeep for making my stay in Delhi so enjoyable.

Everything was amazing, we were picked up on time from the hotel. The driver was very descent and respectful. We had a comfortable car with water. We didn't even feel the 3 hours drive. The driver and the tourist guide were perfect in English. Our guide was very nice and professional. I recommend this Tour to anyone who is planning to visit Taj Mahal
