Memorable and great tour

Very well coordinated and organised. Our guide, Sadiq was amazing. He made sure we knew the significance of all sights, he shared culture, and his own experience. I would definitely recommend this company and tour to the Taj Mahal.

Sadiq

Sadiq was very knowledgeable about the historical architecture in Agra. He made the history of the Taj Mahal and the Baby Taj and the Fort come alive for us. He looked after us very carefully in the crowds and streets. Thank you!

A great day in Agra

An excellent day out with our driver Mohib and guide Faisal. Faisal was really knowledgeable and enthusiastic and brought the history to life. We had a sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal, then Agra Fort, Baby Taj and Mehtab Bagh. A great way to see the best of Agra in a short time.
