Exceptional experience at Taj-Mahal - We made our way to Agra from Delhi by a private driver that we booked in advance. The journey took us nearly 4 hours. Once we arrived in Agra, we met Vishnu, an amazing local tour guide for Taj-Mahal. He is super friendly, helpful, and easy to converse with. Not to mention, he helped us to avoid the entry line into Taj-Mahal, which saved us hours of time.
Before making our way towards the Taj-mahal itself, he made sure that we had all we wanted and were safe and happy. We felt like we were in very good hands with Vishnu.
His passion and knowledge about the history and architecture behind this monument, made us constantly engaged and alert for the entire tour. It was truly a fantastic experience. All the questions we had along the way were answered extremely well, which provided us insights and increased understanding of the things we wanted to understand.
We also appreciated that he was willing to be flexible, especially when we were feeling a little tired after the long drive from Delhi. He would ask us our opinion if we wanted to see more/less or go at whatever pace we would like. He never rushed through the tour. Additionally, if we had any request, he would promptly take care of it as well.
He certainly made things easier for us. Besides, he showed us the best spots to take nice pictures and even assisted in taking photos of us.
His kind attention and genuine interest in us throughout the day gave us the impression of having a close friend in India. He made our day as enjoyable as possible. We cannot recommend him highly enough. We really enjoyed his service.

Awesome tour and eventful experience - We had a wonderful and eventful trip in Agra, India.
Our day was guided by Vishnu. Even though it was rainy that day, it was well coordinated by our guide starting from buying tickets to iconic Taj Mahal and knowledgable touring on Taj Mahal history. Our family enjoyed this trip and made new memories.
We would definitely recommend this tours agency because of the hospitality and the care we received.

Group visit from Kyrgyzstan - If you ever visit Taj Mahal, I would recommend Mr. Vishnu. We came to Taj Mahal with a group of 17 people from Kyrgyzstan. He is very kind, helpful and best guide.

Scam - The taj mahal and fort agra was good, the tour guide knows history and all however, he asked for additional tip aside from what we willingly gave, and he took us to some shops like handicrafts gallery that sells some overpriced stuff because I think he gets commissions from them
