We used Culture Holidays, We left the ship in Cochin and reboarded in Goa.  Just the 2 of us with driver and a guide for the Taj.

The driver was wonderful - he invited us to his home to meet his grandbaby.  The trip was wonderful, 5 star hotels and 1/3 the price of the ships tour.

Thanks Jelayne. Actually we've booked a tour through that company and so far have found them very easy to deal with.

What type of budget are you working with?

$200 to $300

My apologies if this has been discussed before but would someone recommend a centrally located Singapore hotel to stay at pre-cruise?

We're interested in arranging our own tour (winter of 2020) to the Taj Mahal from Cochin rather than take the excursion offered by Celebrity. We're looking at Viator, which offers two nights and three days.  We're also interested in information about other reputable companies including those that offer private tours.

Would you recommend two nights in Agra or one night in Agra and the second in Delhi? A short tour of Delhi sounds worthwhile if it can be fit in.

Any advice and/or travel details from someone who has done this?

We have two to three nights before we need to rejoin the ship in Mumbai.
