Zahid was an excellent guide. Super knowledgeable about the history of the Taj and the fort. Really responsive in taking our pictures and explaining little known facts. Madan was superb driver- safe and careful, picked us up promptly and made sure were comfortable. Overall we enjoyed our tour - we had booked and paid for a full day tour but Zahid had been informed it was a half day tour. Unfortunately not the value for the money we spent.

Dear Guest
Many Thanks for the review
I would like to inform that you have booked half day option of this tour which includes visit to Tajmahal and Agra fort only but our guide showed you Baby Tajmahal also upon your request and we also paid for the entrance even that amount was not included in the tour cost you paid
So please check your tour voucher and confirm that it was a half day tour

Sandeep picked us up and took us straight to the Taj Mahal. His photo skills are next level, his English is flawless and he knows the answers to even the most obscure of questions. We have had the perfect day in Agra with him with both memories and photos to show for it! 5* experience thank you! X

Great tour and great guide! Honestly one of the best I’ve had in India. The thing about this tour is you’ll notice it’s not clear how long it will take. This is because you’ll be given the option to go to places for shopping where you’ll be able to see artisans making stone and marble or carpets. We went to the stone and marble demonstrations, the jewelers and the carpet demonstration and it’s really interesting and fun even if you don’t purchase anything. Yes they will try to sell stuff but it’s not high pressure. However the products are of high quality so if you are in the market it’s an excellent opportunity to buy from reputable vendors. Or you can make the tour shorter and skip all of that. All of the tour stops are great and the tour guide takes great care to keep everyone together through the massive crowds and skip the lines as much as possible! All in all it’s a wonderful experience and I very highly recommend this tour and recommend that you take advantage of seeing the demonstrations if you have the time! Tour guide will basically stop and let you do as much and take as much time as you like at each stop - no rush on your day.

Wow what a day. First of all Mr Sandy colliders us early and I mean 5-30am early and I’m so glad he did. Taj Mahal at sunrise is special so very special and his care and detail of Taj Mahal was appreciated. It was very clear that this is a very special place in India and to Indians and I felt very grateful to be here. To say I cried at this wonder is an under statement. We spent a nice amount of time walking around and inside to the Taj Mahal. It’s true beauty cannot be taken in a photo but I gave it my best shot. Next IImad Ud Daulah (baby Taj) was beautiful and I’m so glad was on my itinerary. The gardens at the back of Taj next and like all gardens in India that I have seen are beautiful. Next the Red Fort and wow wow wow again with the wow but it is amazing. We had the best day and Mr Sandy thank you so much for your care and attention in explaining things to us, it was greatly appreciated. And for answering my random questions about Monkeys, squirrels and religions. To Prem our driver brilliant job driving. .

We had an amazing day tour around the Taj Mahal and Agra with our guide Sandeep and driver Yaseen. Sandeep was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the history of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort come alive with his detailed explanations and interesting stories. He was patient, answered all our questions, and made sure we had plenty of time to enjoy each site without feeling rushed. Yaseen was an excellent driver—professional, punctual, and made us feel very safe and comfortable throughout the day. The car was clean and air-conditioned, which made a big difference in the Agra heat. Everything was well organised from start to finish, and the whole experience felt smooth and stress-free. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this tour, especially with Sandeep and Yaseen, to anyone visiting Agra and the Taj Mahal.

We loved the tour. The timing to see Taj, worked really well. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and knew Agra’s history inside out. He made it very interesting not only for us but our 2 boys (11 and 8) as well. His name was Zahid and we would definitely recommend him to all tourists (travelling from overseas as well)
The transportation was also excellent.

We had a very good tour. Started early in the morning, collected from our hotel by our excellent driver, Manoj before moving to the Taj Mahal with our equally friendly and fantastic guide Sandeep who was very attentive and informative throughout the tour.
Definitely worth going early in the morning before the crowds build. Back to our hotel for breakfast and a rest and freshen up before moving back out for the remainder of the tour.

Our tour guide, Sandeep, was fantastic! He made the experience of visiting the Taj Mahal even better by getting to know us and tailoring the tour to our style. Unlike other tours, there were no high-pressure sales pitches when visiting the artisans. Our driver, Jitu, skillfully navigated the streets of Agra, kept us safe, and timed the pickups well. A wonderful experience!
