This was an extremely well organised trip. Many people are let down by booking the train but then being told they have to drive but Saniya managed to get seats on a fully booked train. The tour guide Farid Baig was exceptional with so much knowledge and the driver ensured the car was stocked with drinks the whole day. We were unbelievably impressed.

This was a fabulous day tour that I highly recommend for anyone wanting door to door service. Sunny was a fantastic guide and Shahid an excellent driver. The personal escort throughout the whole day and through every attraction ensures you feel comfortable. Sunny’s historical knowledge about the area and the attractions is second to none. Highly recommended for individuals and small groups.

Last year in June, we traveled to India with kids and we visited Agra and Jaipur. My brother in Delhi helped me book Sania Tours and Travels. We had amazing experience with Sania travels . Salman was very good and knowledgeable. He was very punctual and helped us getting around. Car was also very clean and well equipped with basic necessities you require during travel. Thank you Salman!

Started the day with Rahul, who picked us up at our hotel in New Dehli and made sure we got on the right train car. We were picked up in Agra by our tour guide, Farid and driver, Manoj, who took care of us the rest of the day. Visited the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort, and had lunch in Agra. Farid was the best! He took great care of us. He was fun and knowledgeable and got us through lines quickly. Manoj opened my door for me at every stop. Very attentive. At the end of our day, we were put back on the right train, then met at the station again, and delivered back to our hotel. I would definitely recommend these guys. They made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable!

My husband and I booked a 3 night 4 day golden triangle tour with Salamat through Saniya Day Tours. It was absolutely AMAZING! Salamat met us at the Delhi airport and we immediately began our drive to Agra. I had researched multiple other companies that offered Golden Triangle Tours but Salamat was by far the most thorough and detailed in his responses to my emails; his price was also comparable and reasonable. All of our entrance fees for visiting sites were covered in the overall price for our package with Saniya Day Tours, which was something I did not find with other companies. Unlike other companies I looked into, Salamat arranged our hotels in Agra and Jaipur. Prior to booking these hotels Salamat let me know which hotels he typically arranged with the different star ratings, which allowed me an opportunity to read reviews on trip advisor about these hotels. When Salamat discovered that one of the hotels was hosting a wedding during our stay he changed our hotel to a comparable one, as he was concerned about noise from the wedding. I honestly don't think other companies would have been so detail oriented and concerned about our well-being. Salamat went above and beyond what is expected of a driver and tour organizer!!! The tour guides that Salamat arranged for us when we visited the Taj and Agra Fort were superb! Salamat has built close business relationships with these guides and they truly made our stops at the Taj and Agra Fort memorable!!! Not only was the tour that Salamat organized exceptional his driving and concern for our well-being was superb. Driving in India is extremely tricky and often dangerous. Salamat always made us feel extremely safe during our travels between Agra, Jaipur and Delhi. He would often explain what we were seeing out of the car window, which gave us more of an in depth understanding of what we were seeing. He always had cold water to offer us and stopped for some wonderful and authentic Samosas in Agra. At one point in Delhi when we asked to stop at a bazaar Salamat helped us bargain for our purchases. My husband had thought he was doing a pretty good job of bargaining until Salamat joined us, then my husband's bargaining was put to shame. Salamat was also incredibly flexible, which we really appreciated. Specifically, he would ask us when we wanted to meet in the morning for our day. The day that we drove from Jaipur to Delhi was a 5 hour drive and Salamat suggest we leave very early (6am) in the morning. We were at the end of our trip and had decided that we weren't as interested in seeing all of the sights in Delhi, so we didn't want to leave so early in the morning. Salamat was very understanding and accepting of this, though it probably did mess up the tour guides he'd arranged for us in Delhi. Since we made this last minute change to our schedule and eliminated several sights to see in Delhi the tour guide we had in Delhi was not the best, which Salamat acknowledged, but we were willing to sacrifice the best tour guide for our sleep. On this note, to ensure the best tour guides Salamat has to offer you may want to pre-arrange these details with Salamat. Saniya Day Tour is Salamat's company and he arranges the details of his tours. Salamat has a few other drivers working for him and after spending several days with Salamat I have no doubt that these other drivers are as thorough and exceptional as Salamat. I would recommend Saniya Day Tour to anyone visiting India!!!!!!

Do not book with Salamat- He is more interested in squeezing tourists for shopping commissions than providing honest, quality service.
After looking at reviews from many companies, we ultimately chose Salamat's company, Saniya Tours. My wife and I booked a day tour from Delhi to Agra for 9800 rupees ($159). We had 2 questions: Could we get a tour with Salamat himself and could we make sure there was no shopping. Salamat confirmed. We exchanged many emails. I even emailed him the night before to request no shopping and he responded "I always try to make sure that my tourist doesn't have to face any sort of problem..."
The taxi picked us up in the morning. When we arrived in Agra, we met with our tour guide- Not Salamat but his friend. Though we were disappointed, the new guide was licensed and seemed knowledgable. So far so good.
We toured the Taj Mahal, but most of the tour was focused on the marble inlay handcraft- a lead up to our shopping trip later that afternoon! During the tour he continued hyping up this UNESCO co-op where they preserve the ancient craft of marble inlay. We saw this as code for shopping. We declined requests to go and instead went to the Agra Fort. After touring the Agra Fort, he asked again to go. We once again declined, saying we were hungry and then asked to go to lunch and stick to the prearranged schedule.
After lunch, he asked again to take us to a UNESCO co-op. He insisted that if we did not go, we would not understand the Taj Majal. He assured us that this wasn't a shopping visit- this was a UNESCO site to preserve the craft. The building was subsidized by UNESCO and the Indian Government to show foreigners how the marble inlay is made, not to make a profit.
What a scam! After a 20 minute demonstration of the marble inlay craft, we were taken to another room, served tea, and handled by many employees. After insisting we didn't want anything, we were continually pressured to buy at least something. From their perspective, we had received a 20 minute demonstration, drank their tea, and taken up their time. We bought the cheapest thing (1800 rupees) and left.
We told the guide that we were very frustrated because we felt tricked. This was clearly an orchestrated shopping trip for commission. After sharing our frustration, the guide asked us to visit his family's textile shop. We couldn't believe it!
I'm most frustrated with Salamat. I repeatedly requested no shopping. Unfortunately, instead of operating an honest business, it seems that he is greedy for commissions.
I feel bad writing a negative review and I know it will hurt Salamat's business. That said, there are other honest tour guide companies (that aren't greedy for commissions) that will hopefully get more business instead. Book with them!

Entire tour was well planned and services were amazing from pickup to drop off after the tour. I enjoyed the professionalism of the staff. Our guide Farid Baig was a great company who shared his knowledge about the monuments giving us more insight to our history. He was extremely patient with pictures and gave us pointers about locals and food to keep us informed. Entire trip was great and we enjoyed our time stress free. It is highly recommended to anyone who would like to learn more about Taj Mahal as it has rich history and details embedded within the monument. Very good tour!

G'day would you please quote me a price to take two people from Delhi to Agra on Thursday 4 August 2016? We do want to stop at Fatehpur Sikri on the way, possibly for up to 1 hour. Happy to look at smaller villages also along the way. Then on to Agra and a good restaurant for lunch.
If you are able to take us and have a good comfortable air-conditioned car, with a driver who speaks English and knows something about the area we will be travelling through and its history, we would be happy to use you if you give us a good price.
Best regards
