Asif was an amazing tour guide, he was really knowledgable and interesting to talk to about the history of Agra. He took us through the old markets and to lots of great street food spots and also gave us recommendations for our onwards travels, we’d highly recommend this tour!
This tour was a great choice, especially for solo travelers who are nervous to venture out into the busy markets like I was. My guide, Asif, was attentive and provided a lot of great information about Indian culture and customs. I was particularly interested in trying the street food and he tailored the tour to my request, recommending things to try and safe places to eat. I returned to my hotel happy and full of good food! I’d recommend this tour to any travelers, solo or otherwise. A great experience for a really good price :)
