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.
