March 6, 2018Mesmerized at Dawn, But Go Early! - My husband and I were on a private tour of India that included the must-see Taj Mahal. All the major hotels are only 10 minutes from the monument, so we... read more didn’t doubt our guide when we were told that our 6:30 am pick up would be enough time to catch the sunrise experience (which in February was to occur about 30 minutes later). That was a mistake. No way was it enough time to arrive and park, walk the 10-minute distance to the entrance, and then wait in the long security lines (separate for men and women) in order to get in. It was an hour from the time we left our hotel until we got our first glimpse of the Taj. Given that the morning was cloudy and overcast, there wasn’t much of a sunrise to see. However, the experience is still mesmerizing. But I would urge anyone going to set out much earlier in order to avoid disappointment.

very nice taj mahal in night view - i have seen taj at night time in moon light, it looked imaging and marbal reffelect to much with white rays, i like too much that view.
January 6, 2016A must do trip - Was very dubious about booking a trip as I am a single female traveller with mobility issues. I read the reviews on Unisafe and decided to place my booking.
All... read more correspondence was polite and non-intrusive which was a definite bonus, Vishal confirmed what I was looking for in a package and was flexible in what I wanted my tour to include without adding more an more cost to the already very reasonable price.
He sent me confirmation of my driver, car and contact number so again I felt that everything was above board.
The driver arrived bang on time and the car was spotless & comfortable. The driver made sure I had everything I needed and along the route pointed out various landmarks.
We met up with my tour guide for the day, again, he was very polite speaking several language fluently, made sure I was ok at all times and provided me with all the information I could possibly want and answered all my questions.
The Taj Mahal was spectacular, breathtaking even with so many visitors there, this along with my tour team made this a fantastic day, one that I shall always remember.
I felt safe, comfortable and had a great day, I would highly recommend the Unisafe team as they treat you like family.

The Taj Mahal is considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles.

Its refined elegance is a conspicuous contrast both to the Hindu architecture of pre-Islamic India, with its thick walls, corbelled arches and heavy lintels, and to the Indo-Islamic styles, in which Hindu elements are combined with an eclecticassortment of motifs from Persian and Turkish sources.
