It was a very nice tour at the right time of the day. Moses could tell a lot of interesting things about the Taj Mahal and was open to answer questions. He was also very helpfull in taking pictures.
Excellent service, very good guide, help full, took many pictures.. very pleasant experience
Amazing guide and great tour!! We came across this tour because we were also staying at his homestay and we can not recommend both enough. We learned all the great details about the Tan Mahal and he showed us so many things that would go unnoticed otherwise. It was a great experience! Not going on a tour like this to the Taj Mahal is like not bringing water to the Sahara. Also: if you would like to have great pictures of your visit, this is your guide! He knows the spots and you will love the photos!
Moses is great and always helpful, the tour was an amazing way to experience the place and its history!
I had the best experience visiting the Taj Mahal with Moses! 😍 He made me see the Taj Mahal in ways I had never expected to be possible. We spent 3-4 hours there, and it flew by. He knew all the great photo spots, pointed out so many cool and interesting details, and the whole experience was flawless. Logistics was good, we had a lovely breakfast and chat after the tour. I would highly recommend it!
Fantastic morning at Taj Mahal. Out guide John was kind and patient, and extremely knowledgeable. His expertise made the visit a lovely and fulfilling experience. He was professional and courteous and gentle with his approach with our young family. I highly recommend this tour and particularly this guide.
We had the most unforgettable experience ever! Moses was an incredible guide with so much knowledge. He was able to answer all our questions with great detail and you could tell he had such a passion for the history of the Taj. He had great communication over message prior to meeting and was early to ensure he was there to great us at the entrance. He was so kind and lovely to talk to. He also showed so much interest in his clients and where we were from. Moses also knew the best photo spots and he went above and beyond to make this experience special. This was the best value for money we have ever spent and you won’t find a better guide to make your experience as incredible as we thought it was.
Fantastic once in a lifetime experience at the Taj Mahal this morning! It exceeded every expectation. Our guide, Moses was fantastic from first to last contact. Prior to the trip day he got in contact to introduce himself, provide a detailed meet-up point and provide a list of items we should/shouldn’t bring. This really helped put us at ease. The views on the day were exceptional and Moses really knew every spot for the best photos to really showcase the beauty of the Taj Mahal. He was informative, funny and helpful and I would really recommend this trip to anyone!
Moses was an awesome guide, the pace was perfect as he shared so many interesting facts and details while also knew all the perfect photo spots. Really enjoyed spending the day with him, highly recommend him as a guide!
Had a great tour with Moses! He has a lot of knowledge, is very helpful and clearly knows what he is talking about. Everything was arranged down to the last detail and thanks to Moses we were able to really experience Agra through the eyes of a local. Book a room in his fantastic homestay. Highly recommended!
