For those who want to see beyond the Taj Mahal and other tourist hot spots, then this is for you. Sameer our guide was brilliant, so knowledgeable and explained the history of Agra, the rulers and Indian culture. He answered every question asked, and I asked a lot. This isn't the sanitised version of India, this is real life, the sights, sounds and smells. Oh and be prepared to make lots of friends who want their pictures taken with you.

What I really appreciated was how Faizan customized the tour to fit our interests and preferences, making sure we got exactly what we wanted out of the experience. He was also very attentive to our safety, ensuring we were always comfortable and secure throughout the tour. I highly recommend this tour and Faizan as a guide—he made the whole experience unforgettable!
