Great visit to the Taj Mahal and Agra!

Jonathan_W, Feb 2024
Saurabh is a great tour guide! We visited the Taj Mahal and he has a great tour planned out (with plenty of time to take photos and explore for yourself), which really added to the experience. Saurabh has great knowledge of the local area, so we grabbed an impromptu lunch and then headed to Agra Fort. We rounded off the day with a marble works demonstration and then went back to the hotel. I cannot recommend this tour enough!

Very enjoyable tour of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. Our guide Ashik Khan - C.W.P No. 58932/2012 was most helpful, flexible and responded very quickly to our queries and concerns before and after the tour.

So simple but didn't beat the queues

Barry_C, Oct 2019
The guide and driver picked us up at the allotted time (6am - from the Taj Convention Centre and Hotel, Agra) and at the monument got us through the ticketing area (no Viator kiosk). However, there were queues already building up - and this is no criticism of anyone - so it's hardly a 'beat the queue ticket. Literally, hundreds of people, probably queueing for some time earlier were far more eager than us to get in. Security screening slowed things down. Our guide, from Keeper Landwey, though was great. Both amiable and knowledgeable he was also great with the camera. We had a fantastic morning here and would recommend getting the ticket to anyone.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Dear customer, Thank you for sharing your positive experience with our guide from Keeper Landwey during your visit to the monument in Agra.

While we understand that there were queues building up at the monument, we appreciate your understanding that it was beyond our control. We strive to provide a seamless experience for our guests, but at times, external factors such as security screening and high visitor volumes can lead to unavoidable delays. Nonetheless, we're pleased that our guide was able to assist you in navigating through the ticketing area efficiently. We're delighted that you found our guide to be amiable, knowledgeable, and skilled with the camera. It's wonderful to hear that he contributed to making your morning at the monument fantastic. We take pride in providing guides who are passionate about their work and capable of capturing memorable moments for our guests. Thank you for recommending others to get the ticket and visit the monument. It is truly a remarkable site that deserves to be experienced.

We would be more than happy to assist you on your next adventure. Best regards, Keeper Landwey

Maria was de perfecte gids. Ze vertelt alles over de geschiedenis van de Taj Mahal. Heel vriendelijk en beantwoord al je vragen.

Magnifique Taj Mahal

Isabelle_S, Apr 2024
Le Taj Mahal est un endroit magique a ne pas manquer lorsque l'on visite le Nord de l'Inde. Nasir notre guide parlait un francais excellent et nous a donné toutes les explications sur l'histoire du palais de l'amour... Par contre, s'il est venu nous chercher a notre hotel comme prevu, il est venu seul et sans moyen de locomotion (j'avais acheté sur le net aupres de Viator une prestation avec le taxis !!!) Nous avons du payer en sus un Tuk Tuk pour arriver au Taj avec notre guide. La formule billet coupe fil est tres bien et l'idee de venir chercher les touristes a l'hotel est excellente encore faut il que le contrat soit respecté ! Notre guide n'y etait pour rien, il travaille en freelance pour Viator qui n'a pas respecté l'intégralité de la prestation...

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Cher Isabelle, Merci pour l'excellente critique de la tournée avec Keeper Landwey ! Nous sommes très heureux d'apprendre que vous avez vécu une expérience formidable et intéressante avec notre guide Nasi. rNous sommes très fiers des connaissances et de l'expérience de nos guides, et nous sommes heureux que vous ayez eu une visite passionnante, vous offrant une visite inoubliable au Taj Mahal. Nous apprécions sincèrement votre recommandation et sommes reconnaissants de l’opportunité de vous servir.
