.The Taj Mahal was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. Her real name was Arjumand Bano Begum, and she was given the title "Mumtaz Mahal," which means "Crown of the Palace." It took 22 years to complete this beautiful monument. The Taj Mahal is famous for its stunning design and detailed artwork, especially the inlay work with semi-precious stones set in white marble. If you get the chance, try visiting during sunrise or sunset. The changing colors of the marble at those times are perfect for taking amazing, Instagram-worthy photos. To save time at the security check, it’s a good idea to carry fewer items when you come for the guided tour.
Agra Fort welcomes you with its grand appearance and tall walls that stretch for 2.5 kilometers. Inside, you’ll find several beautiful palaces built by different Mughal emperors. Some of the most famous ones include Diwan-i-Khas, Diwan-i-Am, Musamman Burj, Khas Mahal, and Jahangiri Mahal. Your expert tour guide will also take you to the spot where Emperor Shah Jahan was kept under house arrest by his own son. He spent his final years here, gazing at the Taj Mahal from a distance. Many parts of the fort offer great views of the Taj Mahal—perfect for taking memorable photos.

John our guide is as magnificent as the taj itself! Guide to all things, camera man, and a lovely person. Great experience.
The tour was perfect. Moses was a great guide! He's very knowledgeable and nice. Shared a lot of interesting facts about Taj Mahal and Agra Fort and it was the best decision to book this tour. He also took great fotos from us and brought us to a nice breakfast place with a view to Taj Mahal. Thanks a lot Moses!! We can recommend this tour to everyone and will definitely book again with you if we are coming back.
My wife and I did a tour around Taj Mahal and Agra Fort with John. John was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great trip and John took lots of good photos of us, thank you
What a great cookery class, which we booked only the day before. John and his lovely family welcomed us into his home and gave us a wonderful experience. Our teenage boys had so much fun and took careful notes to practice at home! Highly recommended course and something a little different in Agra for teens who tend to find too many palaces and monuments a drag! Thank you for a lovely afternoon!
The day was just incredible. Very nice chat, a lot of history and of course incredible food. I will give more stars than 5 if it were possible. I can only recommend it!! So far our best experience in India :).
We had an amazing experience with Moses on the Old Town street food tour visiting the Shri Mankameshwar Mandir temple, eating some awesome street food and visiting one of the best sweet shops in Agra. Thanks to Moses and the team at Agra by Bike team.
Highly recommend to see Agra with Moses on this fabulous walking tour. Discovered the spice markets, temples and sampled local foods and chai tea. Moses is warm and engaging and is lots of fun.
This was probably the best tour I ever had of a city. Not only was my friend and guide Moses so nice and fun, he also knew incredibly much about the history and culture of Agra and India in general. He made sure that I experienced the true Agra flavours while taking me to an amazing street food evening tour, with various food samples, and I even was invited to his house, to have dinner with his family, which was such an incredible experience. Moses showed me things aside from the typical touristic Agra, it was a delight discovering beautiful alleys and places that only a local would know about. We went to visit Taj Mahal together, and told me so many interesting details about the place, that I wouldn’t know them otherwise. And... on top of this things... except his wonderful presence in this trip I had to Agra, Moses is the best private photographer!!! He has a vast experience in helping Instagram and Facebook very known influencers taking their best shots of Taj Mahal and the surroundings. He takes you to wonderful places around Taj, view points, not known by other tourists, and helps you take your best shots... not to mention the best views you have around Taj Mahal and not only. Boat tour was amazing! I promise Moses, next time I’m coming to Agra, I’m having the bike tour also! Thank you!!
My husband and I went with Moses for our unforgettable experience walking in the old parts of Agra and the markets. We walked through the spice markets and sampled some local street food. Moses introduced us to some shop owners and we saw some amazing produce.
<p>We were picked on time by Moses. <br/> He took us to Agra Fort station and across to the local markets. What a wonderful and informative walk we had through the spice markets, old town and a Hindu Temple. We sampled delicious street food, talked to shop owners and had our first bindi applied.</p>
