Great communication from the start to coordinate meeting up, so much information about the Taj, and knew the best places for photos and how to beat the crowds. Guide imren was very friendly. It was a great tour that I'd recommend to anyone. He also brought us to a nice restaurant with great food.

Amazing Tour!

Emerald_G, May 2026
Highly recommend this tour - it was great! Our guide Akleem was really knowledgeable and patient, also took heaps of amazing photos for us which was a massive bonus! Really took the stress and worry out of having to navigate the crowds and systems on our own.

Imran Ali was our amazing guide.

Kit_T, May 2026
Imran Ali was our guide. He was very informative with his tour. Giving us all such valuable information about the History of the Taj Mahal. He was our professional photographer, taking our photos at all the amazing spots to get the best view and special effects. He looked after us throughout our tour. Making sure we got into the Taj Mahal quickly without any queue. As well as supplying us with water and shoe covering. Thank you Imran for our amazing tour. I’d definitely recommend.

Wonderful guide!

2 great tours in 1 day with Azhar

emil_g, Apr 2026
We had another wonderful experience with Azhar as our guide. We were doing a 2nd tour of the Taj, but the sunrise version and Azhar was punctual, professional, and also knowledgeable. Since this was our 2nd tour, we had a last minute request to see Agra fort and Azhar made it happen. He coordinated the driver, tickets, and round trip transportation for a very reasonable fee. Everything was very smooth.

Outstanding Guide and Agra Experience

Val_T, Mar 2026
This five star experience began with excellent communication from the company prior to our arrival so that pick up from the hotel in Agra for the Taj Mahal was on time and seamless. Our guide Akleem was outstanding; knowledgeable, friendly, attentive and throughly professional. He took photos of us together at the sites and ensured that we had an amazing time. For an extra $20US each he took us to the Agra Fort for a second guided tour and back to the hotel afterwards. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough . Thank you Akleem for a fabulous morning in Agra.

Astonishing 💛

Ella_N, Mar 2026
Wow wow wow, this tour completely surpassed my expectations. What an absolutely wonderful experience with my brilliant Guide, Azhar! Azhar picked me up at my hotel and took me to the West gate of the Taj Mahal. Great idea, as it was less busy than the Eastgate and we were one of the first people to see the astonishing sight of the Taj Mahal at sunrise. I will never forget it! Azhar was a wonderful guide throughout - incredible photos and videos and expert knowledge of this historical site. Now I truly understand why it is one of the wonders of the world!
