We were fortunate enough to find Aman accidentally whilst walking around Varanasi. He is a very relaxed and knowlegable guy and showed us the most amazing side of the Ghats. We went on Diwali which would usually be super busy but due to covid was much calmer. We hope to hang out with Aman whilst we are still in Varanasi as he is a great person to know in the city. Thanks again for everything!

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.

This tour started off really well - Taj Mahal was amazing and the guide provided a lot of really interesting knowledge. I also got time to walk around by myself. Tour of Agra Fort was interesting but short. We then went to Fatehpur Sikri - there was a different guide for this part who was also really knowledgeable (I would have liked them to tell me this; the other guide just left and I thought I was going to be alone for this part). Back to Agra for lunch - included in the tour and was amazing! Finally, we went to see Baby Taj - this was the big let down of the tour as the guide didn't think it was included and had to ring up to check however it was fine - he also seemed to be a bit over the tour at this point and seemed to be annoyed. Overall however, it was a really good tour. Perhaps not the best for budget travellers but I still enjoyed it.

Agra - city of the Taj Mahal, perhaps the most photographed monument in the world. However, there is a degree of enigma about the Taj. Once you hear about a building so much and once you see so many pictures of a building your expectations are real high  and this is the enigma about the Taj Mahal. No matter how many pictures you have seen or no matter how high your expectations are the Taj never lets you down - the unparalleled glory and beauty of the building surpasses beyond all human imaginations.
