Absolutely Brilliant! - We went on the full day tour and had an AMAZING time — a GREAT way to learn about the history of the city, see different parts of the city and eat/drink great Indian food in a restaurant. Our guide was terrific! Perfect day spent in Agra.

Awesome trip to Agra from Delhi - The ride from Delhi to Agra was very smooth. The driver arrived 15 min before scheduled time and patiently waited for us at the hotel. The car was clean and spacious so we enjoyed a nap on the way to Agra.
Upon arrival we were greeted by our guide Mohsin. He has proven to be very knowledgeable and the same time kept the trip very interesting, highlighting both basic facts as well as little known trivia.
Mohsin is also a great photographer and took many unconventional photos of us and the historical sites throughout the trip.
We were also invited to a buffet lunch in a 5 star hotel with a wide selection of dishes.
Everything was organized very well without waste of any time in lines etc. so we used the time allocated to the maximum
We highly recommend Mohsin and the company for anyone who wants to visit and have a great time at the Taj Mahal

Knowledgeable and entertaining. - Mudi our guide was very informative and polite. He was open and ready to hear what we wanted to do, regardless of the tour itinerary. He took very good photos of us. I would be happy to hire him in our next visit.

Only semi-good - We recently took a trip to the Taj Mahal, and our experience was a mix of both positive and negative encounters.
Our driver, Irfan, was excellent. He was polite, punctual, and even arrived early but assured us he was happy to wait. He provided us with water and useful advice about our stay in India. Throughout the trip, he ensured we had appropriate breaks for restrooms or refreshments. Irfan was friendly, professional, and made the journey comfortable. We highly recommend him!
Unfortunately, our guide, Abdul, did not provide the same positive experience. There is no doubt that he is very knowledgeable about the Taj Mahal and other attractions on the tour. However, his strong Indian accent made it difficult for us, as Europeans, to understand his English. He spoke very quickly and seemed irritated when we asked him to repeat anything. Compared to other guides we heard around us, his English was noticeably harder to follow.
Another issue was Abdul’s attitude. We are unsure whether this was due to cultural differences or simply his personality, but he came across as pushy and at times rude. For example, during the tour, he asked us four times whether we wanted to skip the rest of the sights we had already paid for, making it seem like he was eager to finish early. Additionally, he repeatedly asked us—during the tour itself—to write a review for him. After our meal, he insisted that we sit down and write it immediately. We politely explained that we would prefer to do so after the tour, but 1-2 hours later, he asked again. When I mentioned that I had no internet access, he even insisted on sharing his internet so we could write it on the spot. We had to repeatedly emphasize that we would only do so at our hotel. Even in the car, he continued to push the importance of leaving a review.
Abdul also took us to a seller under the pretense that we were simply going to see how marble pieces, similar to those at the Taj Mahal, were made. From the beginning, we suspected that this was actually a sales tactic rather than just an educational stop. Sure enough, after the initial demonstration, the seller led us into another room filled with marble pieces available for purchase. It became clear that the visit was not just about learning but also about selling, and we strongly suspect that Abdul received a commission from any purchases made. He also asked if we wanted to see how carpets were made, which we declined, as it seemed to be another attempt to lead us into a sales pitch. A similar situation occurred at the Taj Mahal when he introduced us to a photographer selling professional photo packages. When we refused, our guide still attempted to pressure us into buying the package, which we found quite unusual and uncomfortable.
We fully understand that positive reviews are important, especially in a country where tourism plays a big role in the economy. However, being pressured to write a review in front of the guide, before the tour had even ended, felt inappropriate. On top of that, he directly told us that we needed to tip him. While we were already planning to tip both the driver and guide, this direct request felt unnecessary and uncomfortable. Despite these issues, we did tip him, as he was helpful at the start of the tour, for example, by taking pictures of us in front of the Taj Mahal, which we appreciated.
The Taj Mahal itself is undoubtedly a must-see. However, our experience left us wondering whether many of the positive reviews are written under pressure, just as our guide attempted with us. If you take a guided tour, be prepared to firmly say no if you prefer to leave a review on your own terms.
