  What a wonderful Agra experience! I was a bit worried because I am a solo female traveler, but my trip to the Taj Mahal with Farid ended up exceeding my expectations. Farid was very knowledgeable about history of Agra (he has a university degree in History). He also was very attentive to my needs, very friendly, has very good English, and also very easy to get along with. At the Taj Mahal, I felt we spent a decent amount of time walking around and taking photos (he took very nice photos of me) and he also hired a wonderful photographer for me to take professional pictures at the Taj Mahal (he is not pushy at all, just tells you your options and you can choose whether to do it or not). We had delicious Indian buffet lunch after. Then we went to see Agra Fort and a marble-making place, where you can get souvenirs made out of the same marble as the Taj Mahal. Overall, the trip was amazing! Great experience I will remember for the rest of my life. I can’t recommend this tour enough.

  Fantastic trip to the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort in the excellent hands of Farid our guide and Chand our driver. The train journey was a lovely start to the day and we were dropped off and picked up from the station like clockwork and were met as soon as we stepped on to the platform. Farid must have seen the Taj Mahal on numerous occasions but his enthusiasm and knowledge never wavered. The trip included a buffet lunch in a local Agra restaurant which was delicious and a welcome break to catch our breath. This was a thoroughly enjoyable day.

  Ali was exceptionally knowledgeable and guided us the mass of humanity efficiently and effectively. He was very good at explaining the intricate details. Wasn’t a fan of the hard sales pitches in some of the “little stopovers” to buy souvenirs. Don’t be afraid to say no!

  Our tour was amazing and very well planned. We had the pick up from our hotel, the driver brought us till our seats in the train. When we arrived Agra train station, our guide Farid was there. The train just stopped and we saw outside the window waving at us. Even the people (other tourists) who were inside the train, told us "wow, this is great service". Can you imagine? Really great. We met our driver, also very nice. We got some flower necklaces, that was absolutely beautiful, lots of colours and nice smell. I will not say anymore details, so I don't spoil your potential trip. I fully recommend this tour, Farid and as far as I remember our drivers name was Fahid.
  You will not regret it, great time, very nice explained and very well planned organized. If you have any wish you can simply ask and almost everything is possible.
  Thanks again, we promised to come back to see Taj Mahal in the night with the moonlight.

  Everything worked according to the plan and then some!! We were picked up on time at the hotel and taken to the train station for the trip from Delhi to Agra - a much better choice than driving. We were met in Agra at the train car by Farid, our English speaking guide who was nothing less than fantastic. We were escorted by Farid to meet our driver who had a fresh flower mala for each of us. Farid not only provided a lot of history about the Taj Mahal, but he also pointed out many unique aspects that we would not have experienced or known otherwise. This was coupled with his eye for photos which we greatly appreciated. After visiting the Taj Mahal, we stopped at Marble Cottage - again, fantastic experience learning the art. We followed this with a stop for lunch at Bon Barbecue Agra where we enjoyed some time to relax and a delicious meal. After a tour of the Red Fort - where again, Farid pointed out many things that would have otherwise gone unnoticed, we were able to make a few additional stops that we requested. Farid got us back to the train station in plenty of time and waited for us to board for our journey back to Delhi. If you book this tour, I highly recommend that you specifically request Farid as your tour guide. He also provides tour services for other locations - highly recommend him for any tour in India.

  I thoroughly enjoyed my private tour with Farid. He explained so many fascinating details and really helped me appreciate the history and culture of the city. Highly recommended.

  Mr. Tanveer was a great guide. Eventho my train was delayed for over an hour we set up the priorities and schedule right away and we had a great time. I was a single female passenger but at all times I felt safe and respected. I explained that my priority is the monuments and this is exactly how the schedule was built. The guide gave me good information about every monument and on top took the most amazing pictures if me at the Taj. He knew very well what he was doing and what would be interesting and valuable information for me. We also stopped by a marble shop which was exactly what I would have liked it to be, I didnt feel pressured or haggled into buying stuff, if anything the staff were helpful and respectful. The driver in Agra was also great. However there was a bit of a miss communication with the driver who picked me up from the hotel, as he was not aware that he had to assist me to my seat. This was fixed quickly when I asked him to call the agency who instructed him to meet someone who would handle my safe placement at the train. Another point the agency could consider improving is the way they pass information to customers. I was not told who to look for at the train station as we arrived in Agra nor given instructions that i can follow. A more detailed schedule and explanation of each step can be helpful for tourists who are new to the Indian culture. Besides that I am very satisfied and really feel happy with my choice of a trip. Thank you Mr. Tanveer for making my trip amazing :)

  Our tour go Agra was everything and more. Everything was smooth and well communicated - we were never out of the loop and they made sure we were comfortable wherever we were. Driver's were excellent and our guide Farid was just the best. He is so knowledgeable, knows where to take all the best pictures (he is also a wonderful camera-man) and knew how to stay ahead of the crowd. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
