Great morning visiting all the best Agra sites. We went for sunrise at the Taj Mahal and got the most beautiful pictures thanks to our wonderful guide. He took beautiful photos for us first, then told us the history and pointed out the beautiful details after, as requested. We then were able to go after the Taj to Agra Fort and beat the crowds there too! We also visited the baby Taj and had a wonderful stop there as well, enjoying the peacefulness of the place. Wonderful day! Great driver and guide!
Had a great day in Agra! Iqrar met us just outside the train station. Our driver Faeem was very friendly. Our car was clean and had cold AC. We went to the Taj Mahal and Iqrar was very informative with lots of history, which really enjoyed. We also went to the Agra fort and Baby Taj. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Faizan was the best tour guide we have EVER booked, in any country. He was extremely detailed, very well informed, wanted us to fully understand the history and significance for each monument, helped us take photos and gave us amazing tips, and took us to our place of choice to eat. It was a wonderful experience and I couldn’t recommend this enough.

This was a well organised and comprehensive tour. We arrived in Agra by train and Saʽid picked us up at the station. He has excellent English, a sense of humor and is a mine of information. His attention to detail is outstanding. The whole tour was relaxed, but thorough. Saʽid and the driver went above and beyond making sure we were comfortable and helping us to our hotel. Highly recommended. Thanks for an excellent day out!

We took the food and heritage tour, Amir is a great guide who introduced us to the culture and food via a walk through the streets of Agra. We were able to ask our questions without taboo or judgment and taste local specialties. I 100% recommend this part of the tour! On the other hand, we were a little disappointed at the end of the tour which consisted of going to 2 shops that sell "artisanal" objects with very insistent salespeople. If the tour was not expensive we would have understood the compensation, but we still paid 3000 rupees for the tour which is expensive for Agra.

I enjoyed the Taj Mahal and learning about the history of Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. Morning is really good for the Taj Mahal. Our guide, Aamir Khan, knew the history well and helped make the trip enjoyable. Would definitely use this tour company again.

It was great!! I throughly enjoyed learning about the history that our tour guide told us. I think that if he would not have gone with us I would not have enjoyed it or learned much about the monuments.

Amazing knowledgeable guide with very adept interpersonal experience that I will highly recommend to all. Amir’s communication, attention to detail and ability to draw you in to the intricacies of all sites seen makes this tour well worth it and more. If only we had more time we would love to have spent it learning more from Amir. Many thanks Bhai for making our day in Agra amazingly memorable! Ngā Mihi Nui from the Family from Aotearoa NZ. We noticed many others try to join our tour and tag along, that is true representation of the service you provide from the multiple pics you took of us, the patience shown, kudos to you! Amazing Bhai
