Awesome experience in Agra. - Mr Jitu was a very good guide, he showed us around the top attractions in Agra including Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Baby Taj and few more other places, with a clear and easy explanation on the history of the monuments, I personally enjoyed the entire trip in Agra. He is very knowledgeable about the surrounding and people here, he constantly advised me on getting an original products, example souvenirs, without getting cheated. He also advised me on how to avoid scams from local people here during the travel. Overall, he was a very honest and helpful guide during my trip here in Agra. Besides, Mr Vijay, my driver took a good care of me from fetching me from the hotel to the monuments. I highly recommend both of them if you’re coming to Agra to experience the sights of the city.

Awesome trip - We really really had good time and most importantly the language spoken was english and yeah it was cool for us to understand things easily. Worth paying for 4 locations to visit for. Thanks to Gitu and driver Vijay Sharma also being friendly and openly saying and advising to not to trust people here easily which mostly trip guides didn’t do.

Warm day to visit Taj Mahal - Jitu is very punctual, helpful and informative. We started at 5am, for the sunrise view of Taj Mahal. Jitu also a good photographer, and helped to take many great photos throughout the day. After Taj Mahal we visited Agra Fort, stone inlay shop, carpet makers and gems shop. Then we visited Baby Taj and then the sunset view of Taj Mahal before ending the day.
