    The sunrise Taj tour is worth waking up for. The building was amazing and our guide Mahesh was perfect. He really took his time and explained everything to us and answered every question we asked. D.K. was our driver and was amazing. This tour was so good we changed the rest of our plans and had D.K. drive us to Jaipur to take us around there as well.

    Mahesh and DK were absolutely incredible!! We enjoyed our time in Agra so much thanks to this dynamic duo! DK was our driver and Mahesh our guide- both were extremely knowledgeable and worked together seamlessly. Having a beautiful car to cool off in between stops was definitely the way to go and DK was very skilled navigating the streets and monuments of Agra. Mahesh knew his stuff inside and out! He was able to give us tons of history and facts as we visited all the highlights of the city including the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and Fatehpur Sikri. He answered the millions of questions we had with kindness and patience. We would highly recommend both of these gentlemen to tour Agra!

    I want to express my thanks and an excellent service provided by Mahesh who was our tour guide and Sanjay our cab driver. Without them I don’t think this tour has been successful for us. Mahesh was on time for our tour and he took excellent pictures of our family and guided us starting from the Taj Mahal explained the history and the unknown which we ever read or heard about the place. He made us very comfortable indeed he is very knowledgeable and genuine. He was very confident on explaining all our doubts and clarifications. He took us to Agra fort next and it was like a breeze for us to explore along with him. He even took us to shopping where we bought some things which we liked. His recommendation was perfect for us and never forced us anytime. He was very patient and even in Fatehpur Sikri he showed us lot of things which we couldn’t even did on our own. Overall he is an excellent guide and I would definitely recommend him. Last but not least our driver Sanjay was helping us out by giving his own umbrella during rain in between and took care of us to reach places safely. Excellent and smooth driving overall. Thank you both for wonderful service.

    The Taj Mahal tour was amazing. Our guide Mahesh was brilliant he explained in a lot of detail and answered any questions we had. Seeing how the marble, rugs and sewed pieces of art were made was very interesting and we got some very high quality souvenirs to take home. Fatephur Sikri was also a great experience with so much detail in the building. Again Mahesh told us all about it in great detail. Thankyou to DK our driver who took us everywhere with a smooth ride

    My brother and I were part of this private tour with Mahesh and DK. Mahesh had very detailed knowledge of all the landmarks we visited and was happy to answer any questions we had. He was also very patient with us if we wanted to have some time to explore on our own. Our driver DK was also very polite and respectful and happy to wait while we explored. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Agra for the first time as you will come away having learned a lot about the history and culture of the city.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our two night trip to Agra from Bangalore with Mahesh as our guide. Flying directly to Agra saved a lot of time in the car - as far as I could find, this is the only tour company that offers this option presently. The tour included two very well-timed visits to the Taj Mahal as well as other cultural highlights. I wrote a couple of detailed blog posts (click through my profile) if looking for more detail.

    Mahesh was our guide for the Taj Mahal sunrise day tour and he had an extraordinary amount of knowledge of each place. We learned so much about the history of the Taj Mahal as well as the Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri while exploring the exquisite details of the red sandstone and the marble structures. We were able to capture some beautiful photos with Mahesh showing us some of the best shots, and he gave us the time we needed to be able to adjust the tour to our schedule. Our driver Bittu is also highly recommended and did a tremendous job carting us all over Agra. I highly recommend both Mahesh and Bittu for this tour. It was an unforgettable experience! Thank you

    Mahesh (tour guide) and Bittu (driver) were great. We had an early start and they were on time and extremely accommodating. Mahesh was extremely knowledgeable with all of our locations, and answered all of our questions thoroughly. When we needed to make a few adjustments with time he was amazing in being able to fit our needs and managed to still get everything in. Bittu was always ready when we were ready and a very safe driver. Would recommend both highly

    Vijay Chauhan was really a fantastic guide! He explained everything very well, made great photographs for us, and guided us all day in a great way. We can highly recommend this guide if you are visiting Agra!
