Plan My Tour

  I stumbled upon this tour while I was looking for something affordable yet safe, as a solo traveler. Salim Khan, the guide is very efficient and informative. He holds a... read more plethora of knowledge from the history of Taj, the different views of Taj, going in and around the city, and the rich culture and craftsmanship of Agra. Salim was super supportive by taking pictures and made sure every minute of my time in Agra is well spent. Highly recommend the sunrise tour of Taj especially in summers, with this guide if you wanna take home a bit of the exquisite Taj and the culture of Mughals in Agra.

  Was the most heartwarming experience I have ever had. I saw Lady Di sit on the seat in front of the Taj Mahal many years ago and said to myself... read more I want to go. Once inside the complex we were given free time for an hour to explore, yes 1 hour and honestly that’s all you will need. Great guide, had all the questions and answers. Line into the main mosque moved quickly, very noisy inside I thought it would be quiet but security blowing whistles a people talking. Photos on the outside no photos inside the mosque.

Agra fort was good, to me it was another brick building from years gone by.

  The Taj Mahal is so familiar an idea that we slightly worried it might seem too touristy and wondered if a trip to Agra was worth it. We can now... read more confirm the Taj Mahal is more beautiful and more impressive than imaginable regardless of how many photos you have seen of it, and so the trip to Agra is definitely essential if visiting India. We booked a trip from Delhi by car and a guide in Agra which cut out any hassle, and including tickets for monuments just made everything run smoothly.
Most importantly our guide Amir not only told us stories of the sites past which brought the site to life, putting our understanding of the place in context, and he showed us the most interesting nooks & crannies of the Taj and the fort which we would not have found by ourselves. He went out of his way to ensure we found the type of food we wanted at lunch and as a really big bonus took some great photographs of us at the sites, thus avoiding botched selfies.
Our driver was friendly, had a spotless car and plenty of water whenever we wanted. We saw places and understood them because of this tour guide which made the visit really interesting and fun.

  I visited Taj Mahal with my guide Jugnu. He was one of the most energetic, nice, and knowledgable guides I have had. He ensured everything was taken care off, speeded... read more up queuing, told me about not only Taj Mahal but also Indian history and culture, gave me time to enjoy the site, and helped me take photos. I’ll highly recommend him as a guide visiting cultural sites in Agra
