High recommended. Thank you for being such helpful and wonderful people. I miss you my lovely India.

I visited Agra in August. The city and the Taj are breathtaking and our guide Umesh made the experienced unreal. Even from the very beginning of the tour he shared with us all his knowledge and wonderful stories about India, Agra, the Taj, the royal family and so much more. Umesh has all the hints and tips on how to make this experience more unique than what Taj already makes it. He also took the greatest pictures for my friend and I! I would certainly recommend him to everyone travelling to India. Thanks again for this unforgettable time!
Dear Guest, Thank you for your lovely review and words of appreciation for our team. We are glad our efforts paid off well. hope to have you again as our guest in future.
<p>Our tour guide was brilliant, he was extremely knowledgeable and more then happy for us to take our time seeing the Taj Mahal, and the meal afterwards was incredible, we loved it! I only took a star off because we couldn't see the Agra fort or baby Taj due to the government making our rupees useless, but our guide was extremely productive getting us into the Taj Mahal at all and the whole experience was awesome, honestly our photos don't do it justice and we took loads! Don't wait, just book it, you'll never regret it!</p>
