The tour guide was very patient with his explanations and took great pictures of us. At the end of the tour, he even took us to a less-prominent area within Taj Mahal where he demonstrated the acoustics of the domes etc. Further, he took us to witness the traditional marble-inlay industry too. Spent a wonderful day exploring Taj Mahal's different dimensions!

If you only have one day to see the highlights of Delhi then this tour is for you. Manu was a great guide with a real passion for Indian history and culture. The whole day went like clockwork with no waiting in queues and an air conditioned car to shuttle you around. Highly recommend this tour and the tour company who had great communication throughout the process.

Delhi is a overwhelming city to visit on your own! I travel the world for a living, and prefer to venture out on my own, but in Delhi... you MUST have a guide! It’s hard to maneuver your way around in this busy city, and having a guide makes your experience one that you’ll truly enjoy! Umesh was the best guide I’ve EVER had, and I can’t recommend him enough! He gave me a private guide of the markets in Delhi, and customized my tour to exactly what I wanted to do and see! I’ve never had anyone do that before. He sent an Uber to my hotel to pick me up, for such a cheap price! And made it so convenient to meet him to start our tour. His English is perfect, and he is so kind and knowledgeable about everything he shows you. He was so patient with me shopping and looking mostly, and helps you haggle for a great price. I would of never found these local shops on my own. Having a guide really helped from being approached from all the sellers, and he always was looking out for me and gave me great safety tips along the way. We ended with a snack at a local restaurant and I had one of the best Roti breads that I’ve ever had! He does lots of other tours including trips to the Taj Mahal. There’s a lot of tour guides in this city, but Umesh is the best one to show you around! I will recommend him to everyone and I look forward to booking another tour with him when I’m back in town!

I did a day trip to Agra via the express train solo and had the best time with Asif. He is a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable, and makes the experience delightful. Definitely do not hesistate to book this tour and request Asif. Drivers Ali and Mr. Laxman were also great, punctual, and very respectful. I felt really safe with all of them and would book this tour over again in the future if I'm back in the area.
