    The joys of the small road to Fatehpur, tales of the Mughals, and photography tips.

    MariaTeresa_H, Jan 2026
    Excellent experience. Starting with our driver Shahid who was very good, very personable, the drive there was very entertaining since it is mostly a road going through small towns. Our guide was Sumit and his guide skills were on par with his photography suggestions. Both of them were very attentive and thoughtful.

    Great Tour

    Patrick_R, May 2025
    My family and I greatly enjoyed seeing the stunning sights of Fatehpur Sikri. Our guide Dinesh was extremely knowledgeable and kept the tour at a pace that was comfortable for our 2 year old son. Our driver Shahid was professional and punctual. We would highly recommend this tour for others visiting the area.

    Good journey but guide was disappointing

    Kevin_H, Feb 2025
    Our driver Shahid Khan was very good and drove us from Agra to Fatehpur Sikri well. We felt safe at all times and he gave us information along the way. He even recommended a good restaurant for lunch on the way back. Fatehpur Sikri was enjoyable except for the number of touts that were very insistent. Our guide was disappointing. Although he explained each building, he was in a hurry and kept moving us along, even though we were travelling with an elderly parent. He lacked interpersonal skills and we found it difficult to understand his English. We were also guided to his friends shop as we left. Overall I would recommend the trip but the guide you get is luck of the draw.

    Thank you for quick feedback after returning Trip. I talked with Tour guide Dinesh and Hope you Got information Ex. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak arrived today at Fatehpur sikri and heavy police teams also there for Their VIP Visits Today tour guide did Little rush to make sure you see all areas before they arrive so If someone read Review please search Google Rishi sunak in Fatehpur sikri on 16 Feb and got updates and see videos of heavy traffic flow today We tried our best today seeing situation.

    The kindest experience

    Katie_K, Oct 2024
    Our tour was fantastic. Our driver picked us up from our hotel. He provided us waters and informed us of how long the drive would take. He was great at navigating heavy traffic. We felt completely safe. We then met our tour guide at the park. He met us right away and had tickets ready to enter. He made sure we were comfortable. The park would be difficult to navigate without a tour guide, so we were very thankful to have him. He was very knowledgeable about the palace history and able to answer all the questios we had. He also took great photos of us the whole time. After we finished we went back to the car for our drive home. Our driver was waiting and had refreshed our water bottles. Overall it was the best experience we have had with Viator tours!!

    World Heritage Sites worth visiting

    ChiaYu_T, Apr 2024
    The guide did a good job introducing the history and stories. However, be aware that there's an additional charge at the mosque for purchasing a small piece of cloth, required for entry, which costs 1000 Rupees. Additionally, the guide takes you to a store at the end of the tour. It was odd that the guide requested a Trip Advisor review in his presence and even provided an incorrect link for the review.

    Response from Host, Apr 2024

    To, Thank you for your feedbacks, please its no additional charge at all. There is Mosque where visitors can offer cloth to God if they wish as its no complusory and Such donation to god Happens on Every temple in India so please Enroll in Donation if wish as its no complusory at all. Sorry for Tripadvisor review wrong link as sometimes tour guide try to impress us by getting reviews but i have told them as Vistors can do their own so going to say no to them in asking.

    Great tour, definitely recommend!

    Lorraine_O, Mar 2024
    Great service and a great tour of Fatehpur Sikri. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and the driver was reliable, friendly, and safe(!). Also complimentary bottled water in the car which was a nice touch. Happy to recommend.

    A great tour, if a little rushed

    Bryan_w, Feb 2024
    Pick up & drop off from our hotel was flawless, with a very good driver. We were met at fatehpur Sikri by our guide, who was very knowledgeable & helped us understand the purpose, history and design of the sites. Our only criticism would be that the guided section felt somewhat rushed, but overall a great experience, well worth doing

    Absolutely Amazing Experience - Thank You Malik!

    Chelsea_P, Feb 2024
    Malik was an incredible tour guide (and photographer!). We had the absolute best experience with him at the Taj Mahal - both educationally and recreationally. He was extremely informative in sharing the history of the Taj Mahal and its significance. Thank you so much Malik for making our day and trip the absolute best we could have imagined!

    Bablu is a fantastic guide. He is so knowledgeable and really brought Fatehpur Sikri to life. He also was super accommodating even when we needed to change our start time last minute. Couldn’t recommend this tour more!
