As a female solo traveler, I can say that the tour was fantastic. Farid is a great guide and took great care of me the whole time. The information he shared with me was very interesting. Nizam (the driver in Agra) was also great. Lunch at the Marriott was delicious. We didn’t just visit Taj Mahal but two other temples as well. I highly recommend this tour. Thanks again to Farid.

This trip is perfect for out of town travelers - the tour company handles every single logistic for you as well as provides a companion throughout the entire tour (from hotel pick up, to train ride, to tour and back). Farid was a great guide and was super knowledgeable about the Taj and its history, as well as answered any question we had. He also helped give recommendations for other things to do while we are visiting India and connected us with other folks. Highly recommend this experience and Farid!
