My family and I went on a 4 hour journey out to Agra to see the Taj Mahal and Fatehpur Sikri. Our tour guide for Fatehpur Sikri was Mehraj Ali, and we were brought on a historical journey through a monument 100 years older than the famous Taj Mahal. He was extremely informative and had studied Fatehpur Sikri’s history and stories in great detail! Our family really enjoyed the stories and anecdotes him and the place had to offer. Next, Vikram Singh accompanied us to the Taj Mahal. We were in awe at the majestic architecture, but it was made a hundred times better by Vikram’s informative stories of the palace - its love story and grand history. The Taj Mahal cannot be visited without a guide that knows the stories from each chiseled brick to the 42 acre land as a whole. The entire trip was amazing, and we thoroughly enjoyed it!

We were picked up from Delhi airport, the driver had water bottles for us in the car and we were driven to our hotel in Agra. The next day we were picked up at 6am for the sunrise Taj Mahal tour and then taken to Agra Fort for another tour (we did not have time for Fatehpur Sikri as we were only in Agra for 24 hours). The tour guide was excellent and took some very good photographs of us. The driver was also great; very polite, reliable, kind and friendly. We did not have any problems at any point and their service made our trip comfortable and enjoyable. I cannot recommend them enough! I will definitely use them again the next time I travel to that region!
