“Review: Sunrise Tour to Agra We took a sunrise tour from Delhi to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal and other landmarks. The driver picked us up at 2 am, ensuring a smooth and relaxing ride. Unfortunately, it was too foggy to see the sunrise, but we still enjoyed seeing the Taj Mahal in the mist, as well as visiting the Red Fort and two local handcraft shops. After lunch, we visited the Elephant SOS, where we paid a 2000 INR donation, which was absolutely worth it. Their work in rescuing and caring for elephants is incredible, and it was heartwarming to see the rescued elephants in such great condition.…”

“The day with our guide Sunny was wonderful but also thought provoking. Both, at the elephant rescue centre as well as the bear sanctuary we learnt a lot about animal welfare. The teams there do an amazing work! Yes, Agra is all about the main sights but I would wholeheartedly recommend doing this tour as well. It moved our hearts and we will definitely never ride an Elephant! Thank you Sunny for taking care of us and showing us a side of India beyond the beaten tourist tracks - the memories will stay with us forever. 🤗”

“Guide tour and driver, really kind and explain me everything. In Taj, Ali was so patient taking pictures, I really appreciate it. I am a solo travel girl of 25 years old and I feel good, safe. Only consider to be clear beforehand, ask for the info you need, personal info, schedules and you need to buy all tickets. Also after Agra fork, They took me to a jewelry store, but this was not included. They were friendly there, but if you don't want to go, tell them from the beginning. My favourite part was going to Elephant Wildlife SOS, but you have to know if a rescue center, nothing…”
