Taj Natur- und Landradtour

We had a wonderful experience with John—authentic, exciting, and healthy, too, since it’s done by bike! Highly recommended if you want to discover something truly authentic in Agra! Secret spots, plus insights into the local birdlife and people! Thank you for this wonderful adventure—two and a half hours we’ll remember for a long time! Cheers from Andrea and Glenda—the Italians! ;)

One of our best experience's during out time in India, Jon was a fantastic guide, the ride was very gentle and we met some amazing local people. First stop was an Indian head massage on the side of the road, which cam as a bit of a shock but in the end was very enjoyable, we then met a local family that made us some chili and tomato chutney with chapati's and invited us into there home to see how they live and then lastly we were invited into another local's house to join in with some Bollywood dancing with the children and enjoy some masala chai. On the way back, passing some wild peacock's, we stopped for some photos of the sun setting over the Taj Mahal, a magical moment from our time in India.

Jon was our fantastic guide for this tour. It was an easy bike ride but much more than that as he took us firstly to a secret viewpount of the Taj Mahal with the river beside, where we got some great pics. Then onto the village nearby where we met the school kids and their teachers in the middle of their art class, then we met a family who showed us their home and cooked roti and chutney for us, then onto a farm where another family was harvesting fenugreek and where the kids performed an impromptu Bollywood dance first us, smiling the whole time. An off the beaten path tour for sure made that much enjoyable by the endless smiles we received and all that we leant about typical village life from Jon. Definitely recommend!

I have done the bicycle tour twice now and each time they suprise me! It is honestly one of the best things to do when in Agra, or even India! You get to experience such an unique part of Agra with the country side tour. Moses and John are so passionate about what they do. Not only do they give great tours with much information, they also support the people living on the countryside. So a part of the price you pay will be invested in the people living there. They support small local initiatives, empower women, and support needed products. Agra is almost only knows for the Taj Mahal and people visit only the most touristic places. To really experience Agra, this is a must do activity. I hope to visit the place many more times!

Unforgettable, this is one of many tours we ended up doing with Moses as our guide and I can’t recommend him enough. The tour structure was earthy and took us on a journey to meet the real Agra country people. It touched our hearts and provided an experience we will never forget. Moses heart warming persona, his clever ability to tell the story of Agra and his photography has left us with a life memory. Thank you Moses…

We joined Moses for the Taj Nature and Countryside Bike Tour. What a wonderful experience riding up through the forest that borders the Taj Mahal, away from the hustle and bustle of town we were able witness and interact with local villagers, farmers and school children. Moses genuine care, understanding and knowledge of the local area was really evident. We were able to ride easily at our own pace with Moses allowing us any amount of time we needed to enjoy, take photos (by the way Moses is a great photographer!) interact with locals and grab a great private view of the Taj Mahal through the forest. A truly unforgettable experience that will remain in our memories forever. Ps on a side note we had so much fun with Moses that we also booked him for our Taj Mahal and Agra Fort guide. Which were both just as incredible and memorable.

We took a sunrise cycle tour with John - it was phenomenal! We cycled through fields with wild peacocks and towns with families and kids waving hello. John explained about the local agriculture and way of life. We met a local family and saw an incredible view of the Taj. Really unforgettable experience. John himself is so lovely and sweet. Very open guys happy to chat about whatever.

Expectations are sky high for this given all the rave reviews …and it more than lives up to the hype! This is less of a tour for tourists, and more of an experience for people who want a break from all the crowds and chaos you have to negotiate in Delhi and Agra. Firstly the leisurely cycle loop is on quiet countryside lanes, with no speeding vehicles in sight - you are safe, hassle free and it is pure bliss! Secondly, the guide John takes you through his villages like you’re his guest (rather than a tourist) stopping off to introduce you to locals - I met some farm workers harvesting their crops and then a wonderful family who made me some homemade chapati. Finally, John takes you to the most amazing views of the Taj Mahal with the sunsetting over it. A great experience that will live long in the memory. Thanks John!

This was actually the highlight of my trip to India. I even preferred it to the Taj, which was incredible too. Gorgeous little bike ride through the countryside to the friendliest of villages. Smiling welcoming children and adults. We stopped at one house, where a local girl made us roti over an open fire. Just lovely to get to know a local family, living in a traditional way. Moses was a fantastic guide, sharing his knowledge and introducing us to the people in the village. I would highly recommend this trip.

This was one of the best experiences we had during our visit to India! We started by cycling to a hill with a nice view to the Taj Mahal. This was a spot with no crowds, so it gave very peaceful vibes. Then, we headed into the village and got the opportunity to interact with local people. All of them were very friendly. They invited us to their house and even showed us how to make chapati and shared it with us. We visited a school and a local coffee shop with delicious food and a great view to the Taj Majal. Overall the experience was unique because of the kindness from the people we met. Our guide John was amazing! He was very polite and friendly.
