We had a very pleasant walking tour with Sunil yesterday. He picked us up from our hotel and then we went by tuk-tuk to Agra Fort and walked for about 2 hours through various points of interest in the old city. He us very knowledgeable and speaks good English and was able to keep my teenage kids engaged. He was also super flexible about a few detours that I requested.
Sunil was a really lovely fellow. He picked us up at our hotel and travelled with us to Agra old city where we visited to her old streets, markets and temples. We sampled some golden milk which was delicious. Once at the far side of the market we took a rickshaw back to the tuk tuk. Old Agra is a very authentic experience.
The view was very interesting, the guide Sunil was very kind and nice. All was amazing! We are very satisfied and happy to have booked this experience. If we’ll return to Agra, we’ll book it another time sure !
This is a must if you want to soak up the real Agra. Totally recommend Sunil Varun as a guide for this and anywhere else in North India. He is a mine of information and guides you through without getting hassled.
Great tour in the old town of Delhi. Our guide was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We tried different snacks and chai, and he showed us all the different markets, temples and a mosque as well. 100 percent recommended.
Shocking but exciting experience walking through old town during Diwali. Very nice guide and worth the time.
The tour was fascinating. We explored many elements of the old city of Agra and ventured into parts that we would not have explored on our own. Sunil, the guide, was extremely knowledgeable and was able to give us lots of interesting information on the way. At the end of our tour he took us on an additional trip to see the Taj Mahal from a viewing point as we had not yet seen this. It was a great way to end an enjoyable experience.
Sunil gave me the best private walking tours of Agra, took it in the evening around sunset. Great opportunity to explore after you arrive and check in to your hotel. Had food tasting and saw many monkeys. He is passionate about teaching the local culture and will immerse you with an authentic experience. I even booked him the next day to show me around other parts including Baby Taj and the local park across the river from the Taj (secluded and great view for photos) Highly recommend, 10/10 and truly a cherished memory! One of the best guides in India during my 10 days between Agra and Mumbai.
We felt that we got a true life experience on this tour of what life in India really is like. The hustle and bustle of the area was an experience in itself. Our guide did a great job of explaining the food, shops and people of Old Agra.
We had a great tour with Sunil. He knew exactly where we needed to be to experience some real Indian culture. He treated us to sweets, chai tea and other goodies. He paid very close attention to our safety and told many interesting things. Definitely recommended if you want to see more of Agra than just the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort.
