Taj Mahal Virtual Tour with Local Guide(Online Experience )

WOW! I know I will never make it to the Taj Mahal but I really wanted to know about it. I had Viator credits I needed to use. Since I am laid up after surgery I thought I would try an online experience. My tour guide Akash worked very hard to get me on the zoom call he is in India I am in the USA so little glitches. I was the only one on this online tour. But please read reviews on Viator. Many companies do this as a fun event for their employee's, what a great idea. Akash took his photo's during Covid 2020 so there are almost no people in his tour photo's. But in Dec the most popular month for visitors there can be 100,000 visitors a day! He spent almost 1:20 minutes with me. He is also a tour guide at the Taj Mahal 3 days a week. You would be lucky to have him show you around. His website or contact is under the photo to the left. I have traveled all over the world I watch tourists walk into monuments take photos and never know what they are really seeing. You need a tour guide to learn about the hidden gems. Akash showed me so many interesting things! And gave me the history on the family and the tragic end of the Shah who built the Taj Mahal. Always use a tour guide or you will miss out on to many things.

This is an online course which I love since I am stuck at home. I have never done anything like this on Viator always travel adventures. My tour guide was Akash. I was the only one on this Zoom meeting and he was very patient to get me set up to view the tour. Tour says 1-2 hours. He took his time with me to show me the Taj Mahal, so many details. He is a tour guide for years at the Taj Mahal and his insight is what you would hope for from an in person tour guide. It's fun that we got to see each other to exchange thoughts. His pictures were beautiful! He pointed out so many details and the story behind the family that built the Taj Mahal. He also added little detail that other tour guides would probably miss. I am a Flight Attendant we do fly to Delhi but since I have not been there I was so curious. If you visit any monuments or special sights you have to use a tour guide or you will definitely lose the real meaning and special notes about the place you are visiting and like many I have seen people walk in take pictures and never see the real history behind the space. If you can not go to the Taj Mahal I highly recommend Akash as your tour guide in person at the Taj Mahal or online. You will not be disappointed!

We did this for a company social. Folks enjoyed learning all about the storied history of the Taj Mahal. Akash's virtual tour was thoroughly informative, and he answered all of our questions along the way.

My father was delighted with the tour (a birthday surprise), pictures and videos were fantastic, and Akash had been a talented guide through the history of Taj Mahal. This is a great opportunity for people who are not able to visit India! I was a little afraid at first because there was no link on the ticket, but after contacting Akash directly I learned that the zoom link would be sent shortly before the visit. Thank you for this great time!

My wife and I joined this virtual tour and it was really great. The host was very friendly, knowledgeable and happy to answer questions at any time. The tour was live via an online zoom with the host. During the tour, the host used a collection of videos and photographs and talked live about stories and tales, facts and different aspects of the Taj Mahal. The online exchange/online interaction with the host was fluent and really easy. Thanks again!

So was fantastic. This was a present for my elderly parents and they could not speak more highly of him and the tour. He was on time, very polite and really knowledgable. A fantastic tour.

Bought as a birthday present for my Dad. He said it was brilliant! Super tour guide, very interesting and overall, a great experience

Very helpful he answered all of my girlfriend and I questions and we really enjoyed our time. Overall an amazing and fun experience and I would 100% recommend!
