Uvais was an excellent guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He was prompt in meeting us off the train and ensured we were comfortable throughout the tour, navigating us through the hustle and bustle of the Taj Mahal and the Fort. His deep understanding of the history was impressive, and it’s clear that he truly loves his job. Amit was also a fantastic driver! I highly recommend this tour!

It was an excellent experience! My guide, Imran, was incredibly knowledgeable about history and architecture. This was by far my best tour in India. We explored the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, followed by a delicious lunch where Imran introduced me to various Indian dishes. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Experience

Sharon_A, Jan 2025

What an amazing experience! Our guide, Imran, took the time to explain everything in detail and made sure we captured the best photos. The train ride was smooth and enjoyable, and the car ride to the sites was very comfortable. Despite the fog, our driver handld the journey perfectly. The delicious breakfast added to the joy of the trip. It was a truly memorable family experience, and we highly recommend it to everyone. Imran was the perfect guide, and we look forward to coming back for another visit!

I have dreamt of visiting...

Sarina_F, Jan 2025

I have dreamt of visiting Taj Mahal. It was everything I hoped it would be. The train ride was fabulous as well. We had an awesome tour guide. He was very thorough and most of all he made an effort to keep us from being hassled.

Wonderful experience

Daniel_L, Oct 2024

The tour was really well-organised, making everything easy and stress-free. I was guided at every step, from finding my driver to getting on the train, which made traveling as a foreigner very comfortable. Kamran , my guide was amazing. He knew so much about the Taj Mahal and the local history, he explained everything in a way that was interesting and easy to understand. His English was great and he was very passionate about the stories he shared. It was a great experience and I learned a lot about the craftsmanship behind the Taj Mahal

It was safe as a solo traveler and I really enjoyed

Thomas_C, Oct 2024

I recently did a solo tour of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort with Shuaib as my guide, and it was an exceptional experience. Not only did he have impressive knowledge of the sites and their history, but his strong connections in the local area also gave me unique insights. Shuaib's friendly, polite, and trustworthy nature made me feel completely at ease during the tour. He even went out of his way to ensure I had the best experience possible. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable tour.

Very patient guide

Mia_R, Oct 2024

Our experience with Owais was one of the highlights of our trip. He possessed a wealth of knowledge about the history of the Taj Mahal and the city of Agra, explaining everything in detail and providing a clear timeline of events. Owais was consistently patient and cheerful, always ready to answer our questions. His welcoming and friendly demeanor truly exemplified the essence of Indian hospitality!

Well planned tour

Jack_A, Oct 2024

The train ride to Agra was a great start to the day. It was comfortable, and I enjoyed the beautiful views along the way. Arriving in Agra, the Taj Mahal was even more amazing with a guide. The guide explained the history and showed us the best parts of the monument, making it much more interesting. We had plenty of time to take great photos and enjoy the beauty of the place without rushing. After the tour, lunch at the DoubleTree by Hilton was a perfect way to relax. The food was really good, and the atmosphere was calm and comfortable. Overall, the day was well planned, and the combination of the train ride, the Taj Mahal tour, and lunch made it a wonderful experience

Wonderful Experience in Train and Visit Taj Mahal

Bjorn_B, Sep 2024

I had a fantastic trip. Kashif was an amazing and knowledgeable guide, he knew so much about history and answered all of my questions. He took me to very good restaurant where I had delicious food and driver was on time to pick me up from my hotel and drop me at railway station even in my train coach. I highly recommend this tour to everyone

Long lay-over Taj Mahal tour… trip of a lifetime!!!

Cory_R, May 2024

What an amazing day this was to end our visit to India! We had one free day before our 11:30pm flight home and our friend/agent researched tour companies and found the perfect private tour! Shoaib manages the company and coordinated/confirmed the details including pickup at our hotel, escort onto the express train from Delhi to Agra, pickup by Owais (very professional and very clear English). Owais met us on the train platform and customized our day… I am still amazed at everything we fit-in. It truly was a perfect day! Highlights included: 1. Having Owais line us up with a professional photographer (among the many that swarm you as you enter)… the photographer had high-quality equipment, a friend helping manage the crowds to move us through the photo spots efficiently, a full digital copy of the photos as well as an album of prints to enjoy on the train back. I included one photo of the photographer managing the crowd while shooting photos of my wife at the Princess Diana bench. 2. Lunch at a high-quality restaurant with excellent food and service (with no delayed after-effects). Buffet-style dishes with some great appetizers that added a variety to the lunch. 3. Shopping for local jewelry and hand-inlaid marble created by the same artisans that maintain the Taj Mahal (descendents of the original craftsmen), even shipping larger items to our home for no additional charge. A beautiful back-lit marble/inlaid end table to remind us of this amazing day! 4. Agra Fort visit… due to extending our shopping experience we thought we might need to skip this visit but Owais and the driver coordinated a quick visit to see this AMAZING castle… I loved seeing the actual moat, draw bridge, ramparts, spouts used to pour oil/water on invaders… this looks like it could have been in a movie. So happy that we fit this in. Thank you Owais! To end the day, Owais escorted us to the train platform (thankfully, as due to a delay the train arrived at a different platform)… and our morning driver met us at the other end, getting us back to the hotel to get our luggage and on to the airport in time for a quick shower before our return trip began. I will admit that I was nervous about trying to visit the Taj Mahal during our one free day in Delhi but, the private tour by express train was the perfect answer! Cold water was always available, Owais was always by our side and we were surprised at how quickly our driver appeared to get us from place to place. Even with the delayed return train we were comfortable that our driver would get us where we needed to be. This was the highlight of our trip. What a beautiful day! Thank you Owais and Shoaib!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you so much for sharing your incredible experience! We're thrilled to hear that your final day in India was such a memorable one, perfectly orchestrated by Shoaib and Owais. It's wonderful to know that every detail, from the hotel pickup to the express train ride and all the amazing sights in Agra, was seamlessly coordinated. Owais sounds like a fantastic guide, ensuring you made the most of your day with a customized tour. We're delighted that the professional photographer added to the experience with high-quality photos and efficient crowd management, capturing beautiful memories at iconic spots like the Princess Diana bench. We're glad you enjoyed the lunch at the high-quality restaurant and that the variety of dishes made for a pleasant dining experience. The shopping for local jewelry and hand-inlaid marble sounds fascinating, especially with the artisans' historical connection to the Taj Mahal. The back-lit marble end table is a wonderful keepsake to remind you of this amazing day. The visit to Agra Fort, despite the extended shopping time, sounds like a highlight, allowing you to experience the historical marvels of the castle. We're happy that Owais and the driver coordinated everything smoothly, ensuring you didn't miss out on this spectacular site. It's great to hear that Owais was there to escort you back to the train platform and that the driver ensured a timely return to your hotel, allowing you to freshen up before your flight. We're pleased that the private tour by express train provided a comfortable and efficient way to visit the Taj Mahal during your free day in Delhi. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we're thrilled that this day was the highlight of your trip. Thank you, Owais and Shoaib, for making this such a beautiful and unforgettable day!
