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.

Don’t just turn up book and wonder around, book a guide, we book and our guide Azhaar Khan was just the best. Azhaar took us in a journey through time, explaining each part of this truly wonderful and magical story.
Thank you so much Azhaar. His Grandfather, father were all guides telling generations of people this story of love.

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.

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!

Akleem was a great Guide, he was so knowledgeable and appreciative of the Taj mahal which made it a really enjoyable experience , he picked me up from meeting point we decided and we walked to Taj. I would definitely recommend going with Guide. Akleem also took great photos for us , which he made a fun experience. I would absolutely suggest doing the Taj mahal with a guide as this my second visit and I learnt so much more with akleem, Azam the manager was also very responsive over whatsapp and answer any questions you had. Great doing team best of luck
