An experience not to miss. This tour, took us off the beaten track to visit a local family & see the Taj Mahal from afar - Amit was an excellent guide, polite, friendly & knowledgeable. We had a fascinating visit to a local family who shared food & tea with us. We had a great view of the Taj Mahal in the distance and saw first hand flowers & crops growing.

An experience that is definitely worth a visit! - A very rewarding morning bike ride to meet the villagers and farmers of Agra. We met schoolchildren, were able to talk with carpet weavers and drank tea at a family home that kindly welcomed us. Our guide told us the stories of these families and the organization of the village, what they cultivate, their lifestyles and religious rituals. We ended the tour with a sublime view of the Taj Mahal. An off-the-beaten-path experience that is definitely worth a visit to learn more and understand Indian culture.

Must do tour whilst in Agra - Excellent tour - a must do! We did the tour on a tuc tuc not bicycles, experience authentic unspoiled India, off the tourist track, we visited local families who welcomed us into their homes, identified local crops, met children in the school learning. Lots of smiles and hellos as you drive through the local village. Would highly recommend this tour - Ahmed was informative friendly and a fabulous guide, the three drivers were safe pleasant and courteous. The whole trip was a pleasure and delighted we did it.

Must try - great alternative view of Agra - Really enjoyed the cycling tour - I was worried about the roads being busy but we went early enough that the cycling was easy and very enjoyable. It was also great to see another perspective of life in Agra - away from the busy and tourist focused areas. Really great insight into village life and the people were very open and friendly. Would definitely recommend to anyone in Agra to see an insiders view of life in India.

Amazing tour - Amazing early morning sunrise tour. We chose the electric tuk tuk and walk. Beautiful insights into rural life and so welcoming. Sadly the Taj Mahal was covered in fog but it didn’t matter as we saw it later. The people and the welcome made it al so worthwhile. Thank you

Private view of Taj Mahal at sunset by bike - Really fun adventure round the villages of Agra. Quite hairy cycling back in the dark but fun negotiating the cars/ bikes/tuk tuk/cows/goats/ dogs! Lovely visit to local family - was slightly nervous but needn’t have been - they were so hospitable and willing to show us their home. Fab 2 hours in Agra
