Highlights
- Taj Mahal - Taj Mahal was built by the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan in the memory of paramour Mumtaj Mahal whose real name was Ajmand Bano Begum. She was given the title name as Mumtaj Mahal which signifies the Crown Palace. This tomb took 22 years time for the construction. This Epitome of love attracts the tourists for its elegant architecture and refined craftsmanship done by inlaid work done by semi precious stones in the white marble. In case the time suits you can prefer visiting the Taj Mahal at the time of dawn or dusk on account of capturing the colour change in the white marble to take instagram worthy pictures. You are suggested to bring less articles on account of saving time at the security spot during the guided tour.

Wonderful Agra Metro Tour - We were planning a trip to Taj Mahal and Agra Fort with our college friends. We wanted a budget tour and luckily we found SAM Tours & Travels on Google. We made a WhatsApp chat with them and asked for a cheap and economic Taj Mahal tour. The sales team suggested us to do this trip by Agra Metro. We came by bus from our college. The tour company arranged the Metro tour for our trip. We took Metro from Agra Fort station and our tour guide Mr. Singh made a good visit of Taj Mahal. Later, we visited Agra Fort . We also bought Agra's famous Petha from food store. Though the weather was not very good , we enjoyed Agra Metro tour very much and it was worth our money.

Best English / Spanish Guide - From a couple that doesn’t do Guides - We are not one for guides, preferring mostly just to do things on our own to save and explore. We took the chance for this tour with S.A.M since our time was short in Agra and really wanted to make the day we had effective.
Avi and our driver were both amazing. Honestly, Ravi was more akin to someone your friend living in India would recommend. Knowledgeable, friendly, and constantly looking to make sure we had a good time. Major bonus was the fact he could have given the full tour in Spanish for my wife had we chose. Also, his constant pushing for us to see the “baby Taj” turned into a major “I told you so” moment as it ended up being one of our favorite spots.
Anyone I know coming to Agra from now on will be directed to S.A.M Tours and especially Ravi. Sincerely, it made our trip better than we could have done by ourselves.

Great half day experience! - We had a great tour with Pawan and learned so much about the architecture and design of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. I appreciated all the detail on the artisan work that went into the development of these great wonders. The tour was super convenient as well, with a driver who made the transition between locations extra easy. Would highly recommend!

Agra Taj Mahal and Agra Fort Tour - We had an exceptional tour guide via Sam Tour (Pawan Kumar) who shared the rich history of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort! He explained how each building was made, and also took us to different places to shop and have lunch - he was so kind along the way. Would highly recommend this tour!

Knowledgeable guide, white glove service - Great experience with Sam Travel for 1 day trip in Agra to see Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. Very knowledgeable guide, smooth pick up from the train station, comfortable car and very, very reasonable price compared to other travel agencies. Also, our train from Agra to Jodhpur got delayed, and Sam Travel arranged a hotel for us to stay at while waiting for the train and mid-night pick up from hotel to train station. Greatly recommend and would use again.
