    Amazing tour of Taj Mahal and Agra Fort!

    Marc_G, Apr 2025
    We booked a tour to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise and the Agra fort afterwards. Coming at this time of the year was great because you do not have too many people at the sites, even at the Taj Mahal. Laxman was our tour organizer, and he organized everything perfectly, and contacted us via whatsApp shortly after the booking from Viator. He put us in contact with our guide Zeeshan. As planned, our guide came to pick us up from the hotel at 5:15am and we drove to the Taj Mahal. The visit was amazing and our guide was very professional, very knowledgeable about India, and all the sites, friendly and let us take our time to enjoy the place, take beautiful pictures, and get anectodes. Our driver was also super good, safe and use to drive well among the challenging traffic. Afterwards we went to Agra fort and we loved the passion that we could see in Zeeshan. This place has definitely a lot of history. Finally we had the possibility to visit another site, and we choose the baby Taj, for which you obviously have to pay extra, and location was also not too far from the two other sites. The site is also beautiful and we can understand some of the inspiration of the Taj Mahal. Overall, the tour and the guide was amazing and I would definitely recommend it! Thank you Laxman and Zeeshan!

    Top tour with Zeeshan

    MariaLuisa_C, Feb 2025
    We were very lucky to find Zeeshan! He took great care of us and was very knowledgeable about the Taj Mahal, Fort and Agra in general. He also took many beautiful photos and was more than happy to explain any questions we had. Zeeshan went the extra mile for us and we are very grateful for our tour with him. Highly recommended!!

    Unforgettable day with great tour guide

    Adrian_C, Oct 2024
    Our tour guide Rashid exceeds our expactations with great storytelling, weaving historical interesting facts regarding Taj Mahal and Agra Fort you dont find in guide books. We felt well taken care of. Very safe and patient car driver Amid. They arranged time for us for breakfast and lunch and made sure that we safely came back to railway station. Great day.

    Great day in Agra

    Nathan_Z, Oct 2024
    Seeing the Taj Mahal was a highlight. The Red Fort was unexpectedly dramatic, definitely worth the time. It was great to try some locally made Masala Chai between stops.

    Fabulous tour! Well worth doing

    Bryan_w, Feb 2024
    Our guide, Lalita, was fabulous - very knowledgable and able to communicate key facts in a succinct, meaningful way. We were even guided to the most favourable spots for photography (and the quietest, cleanest loos!). We had considered seeing the Taj without a guide - take our tip; DON'T! We are so glad we chose this tour

    Using a tour guide is highly recommended to visit Taj Mahal, but beware.

    Bonnie_T, Oct 2023
    We enjoyed our visit to Taj Mahal/Agra Fort and the guide was flexible and willing to add on the Tomb of I'timad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj) for an additional cost paid in cash. The guide was helpful to take thoughtful photos and we felt comfortable with him as he was friendly, attentive and was wearing an ID that identified him as a "certified" guide but we were disappointed that he did not provide accurate historical information on several points, including that all the text inscribed on the walls of Taj consisted of the entire Qu'ran, which it does not. On our way back to the hotel at the end of our tour he took us to a marble shop without our permission where we endured a very high pressure sales person and it was very uncomfortable. This definitely felt especially scam-ish because when we were dropped off at our hotel, one of the managers of the hotel asked us directly if we went to the marble shop and specifically asked us how much we spent. That was really odd and made us feel like there was some sort of kick back for those involved.

    Response from Host, Oct 2023

    Upon Investigation with guide, We found it was Hotel manager who felt bad as you hired guide from outside and Shop also outside so he Misguided you as Hotel also have Shop Inside for visitors. Also its no scam to shopping at shops as Visitors bargain, Visitors always keep the intelligence while engaging in shopping things and invitation for shops always come as on touristic places its 1000s of shops Always Learn to say no for anything's you dont want to do Invitation always come Regards Neelam Founder India saying namaste Trips

    Memories of a lifetime

    Bengt_R, Sep 2023
    An amazing experience to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise. Our guide Kumar did an excellent job showing us around, as well as taking memorable pictures around the palace. The Agra Fort tour was also impressive, and with Kumar’s knowledge and skill for storytelling the two iconic scenes were brought to life. Highly recommended experience.

    Agra in a 1/2 day

    John_F, Dec 2022
    My entire experience was great. My guide was an excellent coordinator and made logistics very easy. He arranged for a driver to meet me at the Agra train station. The driver had my photo and made it easy to get out of the chaotic train station. Taj and Agra Fort were incredible! Guide was very knowledgeable. This trip is the way to do Agra in a day if you don’t mind tuk Tuks. This actually made it very easy. After a quick stop at my lodging to drop luggage, tuk tuk took us quickly to the Taj. After Taj he was waiting for us and took us to lunch. After lunch on to the Agra Fort. After the day the guide escorted me back to my lodging. Overall a great experience. Highly recommend.

    Sumit was an excellent tour guide

    Mark_L, May 2022
    This was an amazing experience and going with a guide to Taj Mahal and Agra fort is highly recommended, especially coming from me who doesn’t usually hire guides when traveling. Sumit was our guide and he showed up early to begin the tour from our hotel. He was very knowledge about the history, was very patient with us as we navigated the sites and lastly was an amazing photographer who captured several beautiful shots of my wife and I. Definitely recommend Sumit for anyone taking this tour.

    Mauvais guide

    Eva_T, Feb 2023
    Nous avions réservé cette visite avec un guide français pour profiter au maximum et bien comprendre l’histoire du Taj Mahal et du Fort Rouge, résultat le guide était indien et parlait anglais très vite avec un cheveux sur la langue. Il marchait très vite et la visite fût rapide. Nous n’avons presque rien compris de ce qu’il nous racontait car son anglais était approximatif. Il n’a pas su répondre a nos questions, ses connaissances étaient limités sur l’histoire passée et même actuelle de l’Inde. Une impression d’attrape touriste avec un guide sans beaucoup de compétences. A la fin il nous a demandé un pourboire nous lui avons donné un pourboire généreux et il l’a refusé en disant que ce n’était pas assez. Très impoli de sa part. Nous sommes très déçues de ce guide alors que nous nous faisions une joie de visiter cet endroit. Service décevant.
