Farid made this day so special of the Taj Mahal/Agrafort - My 2 daughters, and myself were greeted by our tour guide Farid Baig in Agra before we even stepped off our train from New Delhi to Agra. His smile&friendliness lights up a room, and he was so very kind to have made all 3 of us beautiful lei’s to welcome us to his homeland. We kearned so much knowledge/history from Farid, as he shared a wealth of information about the Taj Mahal, and the King, and his love for his 3rd wife. 20,000 men worked on this majestic palce for 22 years as Farid always reminded us of. He was a true “photograper” and knew every angle and pictures that would look amazing with the Taj in the background. I told him he should go into photography as well as being a guide! We had s lovely lunch also at a place called Sizzler’s before we headed over to Agra Fort which now houses the Indian Army, but was used as the King&Queen’s home, and their 14 children. At the end of our time together Farid was so kind to wait and make sure us 3 arrived safely back on the train to Agra before leaving us. If you ever are in need of one amazing and humble man for a tour guide make sure you call upon Farid Baig! Thank you again from Cara, Elyssa, and myself. We will always remember you, and when my eyes first looked at the Taj Mahal. It is so mystical, and like we were all in heaven together. Blessings to your family always Farid.

Great day - This was a wonderful experience from end to end. We were picked up from our hotel, driven to the train, and shown to our seats. The train was fairly quick and painless. Our driver (Uttam) picked us up on the platform at Agra station. We drove towards the Taj Mahal and when we got close, we picked up our guide (Farid). We went first to the Taj Mahal which absolutely positively lives up to whatever expectations you could have. It is truly magnificent. Farid was great at navigating the crowds, showing us some of the best places to get photos from, and of course sharing his knowledge. Our next stop was the Agra Fort, for maybe 45 mins to an hour. The red color is really very cool, the interior of the complex is really impressive, and there are lots of photos opportunities of the Taj Mahal. We had lunch after that at a combo table service / buffet place. Farid said it would be a highlight and it was. Lunch was great. The last place we visited was the Baby Taj. It's an interesting contrast from the Taj Mahal and way way less crowded. After that we were taken to the train, shown to our seats, and did the same train ride from the morning in reverse. We were met on the platform by our driver in Delhi and taken to our hotel. All in all a great experience.

Perfect day, - We had a perfect day tour of Agra with Saniya tours. Salamat did all of our arrangements perfectly. He was always on time, provide us with a fantastic lunch and arranged an excellent day guide (sonny) in Agra. We brought 2 grandkids with us nd everyone involved were very sensitive to their needs. We all loved the day.

Saniya tour Agra (Spanish) - I will write the rest of my review in Spanish for my fellow friends in Latin America (or Spain) that travel to India, in summary great tour highly recommended. Salamat is a wonderful host and my tour guide Neraaj has an excellent Spanish. I decided to hire this Service because I only had one day to get to know Delhi and wanted to travel to know the Taj, the train option is very convenient as it saves you hours of transfer and makes the journey much more pleasant and less tired. Salamat was an excellent host, very trying from days before confirming my details, scheduling my train tickets, his method of contact was by Whatsapp which was very convenient for me as I did not have to worry about roaming. A driver was very punctual in the hotel and transferred me to the train station h escorted to my seat which gave me a lot of security and peace of mind as I was traveling alone. The train ride is comfortable and I had no problem leaving the station and finding my driver who was waiting for me with a sign. The tour of the city was excellent, I requested the tour in Spanish and the truth was surprised with my guide Neeraj who in addition to managing an excellent Spanish was always very attentive and professional indicating the best points for photography and giving me good tips and always watching for my safety. Obviously the tour in the Taj was the most spectacular thing in the whole Agra tour, my favorite part was that Neeraj gave me the time to give me all the history and relevant information, at one point of the tour before entering the Taj we sat on a bench where with all the patience and attention to detail he gave me the explanation admiring the panorama of the gardens the mosque and the mausoleum, which gave me the opportunity to hear and see and not feel like in the classic tour everything rushed and pressed. The food place is excellent quality and you enjoy it long after the tour. The other places like Agra Fort and baby Taj are also worth seeing and worthwhile, they take away your investment for the tour very well. The return was also to the door of my hotel, the train had a slight delay in transit and the driver waited patiently to meet me on the train platform and escort me back. I would definitely hire them back if I returned to Delhi.
