An outstanding experience overall with Sameer. He was on time, well-prepared, and communicated everything clearly in advance. He had complete information about the Taj Mahal, answered all our questions patiently, and made the tour informative and enjoyable. Very professional and dependable service.

Our tour guide Jitu was wonderful. He picked us up from the train station and dropped us off as well. He made sure we had a great time and saw everything we could in the time he had. He took great picture of us too. The car we drove in was very clean and the driver was safe.

Had a very informative tour with Jitu and learned a lot! He really worked hard to share a lot thoughts about both ancient, and modern, India.

The Taj Mahal in person, an experience not to be missed. Our lovely tour guide was Shanu (I would strongly recommend) was informative & patient.
We first decided to take family professional pictures outside the Taj Mahal followed by Shanu guiding us through. It wasn’t on our list but Shanu kindly took us to a local marble inlay art workshop, here we got deeper understanding of mable and gem stones.
I would recommend visiting the Taj Mahal early morning to avoid the rush & the heat! Hats/caps fancy umbrella, water and sunglasses is a must. Shoe covers must be worn inside the Taj Mahal.
Please note security measures are in place, expect your bag to be checked thoroughly before entering the gates. No food was allowed in, including sweets. Medication was fine, a GoPro without the case is fine our stick & GoPro cover was placed in the locker.
Drinks & shoe covers were provided by Shanu & at the end of our tour we were gifted a magnet of the Taj Mahal.
Thank You Shanu for truly making our trip memorable.

Our tour guide, Shanu, met us in our hotel lobby 20 minutes before the scheduled meeting time he was friendly and professional. He got us a tuk tuk which took us to the Taj Mahal Gates, which were less than 1 km away from our hotel. he handled everything, including tickets and taking photos of us. He was not pushy in anyway and was very warm, friendly and sweet. He took us through a few shops after our Taj Mahal tour, upon our request, not trying to get us to buy anything. He was an excellent tour guide, and I would highly recommend hiring him to see the Taj Mahal or anything else here in India.

We had an exceptional guide with great knowledge of the Taj Mahal and its history. A superb experience. It is highly recommended to go to the site as early in the morning as possible for example 5am to witness the sunrise. (And avoid the massive crowds!). Well worth our time. A life experience!

We had a wonderful experience on our Taj Mahal tour with Jitu as our guide and Deepak as our driver.
Deepak was professional, punctual, and extremely patient throughout the day. He made the journey comfortable and stress-free with his calm demeanor and friendly attitude.
Jitu was an excellent guide—informative without being overwhelming, and never pushy. He walked us through the Taj Mahal and surrounding areas with ease, sharing fascinating stories and historical context in a way that was engaging and easy to follow.
Thanks to both Jitu and Deepak, our visit was smooth, enriching, and memorable. Highly recommended!

A super convenient way to see the stunning Taj Mahal. Our tour guide met us at our hotel and took us by tuk tuk to the trams for entrance. He suggested the perfect time to meet up and still see the sunrise and having the tickets in advance sped entry up. An excellent tour guide with this history and details to add to the beauty of the Taj Mahal. He took pictures, allowed us free time to explore in our own…all around excellent experience!

This tour guide was by the best tour guide I’ve ever had. I just went to Edinburgh, Liverpool and Amsterdam using Viator prior to coming and this guide was the best I’ve been on. We went to many stores, viewed many trades and best of all got a unique informational guide of the Taj Mahal. (Bonus: they take professional pictures. I was felt very safe with them and felt very special the entire guide. When I come back I’d want them again personally!

Great guide and experience seeing the Taj Mahal! Being able to skip the line was great and if you're going to see the Taj Mahal, I highly recommend booking with this tour. Also being able to actually go inside was really cool.

Our Guide and Driver Sameer was really helpful and informative from the start of the tour.
His knowledgeable explanations about the Taj Mahal were very good.
Unfortunately my brother felt a bit unwell - following an upset tummy -and Samir took us to a pharmacy to get some medicine.
Hopefully we will feel better for the rest of our travels.
We would recommend Sameer to anyone great guide snd all around Nice guy. Happy to use again!

Very organized and professional. We took tours from 2 different companies on different days to visit sights for a second time and this company and guide Jitu were by far the best. Really enjoyed the tour and great experience with both this company and the guide.

The guide was great but was a little disappointed that for the cost it did not include small things like the cart ride from the entrance to the ticket booth. Also, it did not include the shoe covers for the kids whose tickets were free but they still needed shoe covers.
