Tour was great at the Taj Mahal. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave an excellent tour answering all questions and ensuring we were not hounded by sales people. We were then taken to shops that showed us how marble sculptures were made and similarly one for carpets. Although what they showed was very cool it was a little upselly. But I guess this is the price you pay to be shown how the things are made. It's just something to be aware of.The history of Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. Exceptional service 😁 Amir was helpful with pictures for us and being able to speak English which made our day the best ever.

Amazing experience with Aahil! There are a lot of options in Agra but save yourself some time and hassle and book with these guys because you are going to get the best photos and service ever. Sunrise and sunset views of Taj Mahal are amazing and need to be captured from the right angle. You don’t want to travel all the way and get poorly taken pictures. Also it’s a great price for what you get! Aahil is very professional, knowledgeable, polite, patient with not so relaxed clients (myself included), talented when it comes to photography and just a great person to be around. The tour was paced well, there was some flexibility for lunch and phone charging and I felt my needs were catered to. I’m very happy with my experience and wanted to sincerely thank the management and Aahil for this tour! Cheers.Our tour guide and driver was great, he is friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about Agra and all of its monuments. We're very happy with the tour and would recommend. He also is a photographer on the side and took some of the best pictures with our phone.
