- Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah - Nicknamed the Baby Taj, the exquisite tomb of Mizra Ghiyas Beg should not be missed. This Persian nobleman was Mumtaz Mahal’s grandfather and Emperor Jehangir’s wazir (chief minister). His daughter, Nur Jahan, who married Jehangir, built the tomb between 1622 and 1628, in a style similar to the tomb she built for Jehangir near Lahore in Pakistan. Itmad-ud-daula has a special place in the chronicles of both history as well as architecture. This is precisely because Itmad ud Daula is the very first tomb in India that is entirely made out of Marble.

Majestic Taj with amazing guide - Bilal is unbelievably knowledgeable about history, culture, architecture, religion and Agra. He knows *everyone* and all the ins and outs of navigating the various sites, greatly enhancing my experience. Fluent in English, Urdu, Arabic, Hindi and Japanese(!), he fielded all of my many (many) questions with diplomacy and aplomb. He’s also a lot of fun! Extra plus: he knows all the photo ops and is a great photographer. The context and insight Bilal provided made my visit to the Taj Mahal and the Agra Red Fort truly extraordinary. Highest recommendation!

Great experience having Bilal as our guide - I have read all the other positive reviews and have to agree with everything the reviewers said. Through Bilal we learned a great deal about the Taj Mahal, the fort and India as a whole - both historically and current events. Bilal was fun to be with and presented the information in an interesting and friendly way. Some of our other guides were very serious and strict. Bilal showed us his warm personality. Highly recommend.

Memorable trip to the Taj - Rishi our Trailfinders selected guide made our two visits amazing. His knowledge was exceptional, he pointed out things the tourist wouldn't notice. Agra Fort first then the beautiful Taj. Be prepared, the Taj will bring you to tears, well it did me...We have some wonderful photos.
The smog was bad in the morning so be prepared. Wonderful experience.

Great tour and great guide! - From the moment we arrived in Agra the trip was a hit! Bilal was an excellent tour guide! Honest, fun and very knowledgeable about the attractions and the history. He made the trip unforgettable. We visited Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and some local shops for shopping with minimal hassle. I really enjoyed everything about the trip, especially our tour guide. Thanks Bilal!

Excellent Taj Mahal experience guided by Bilal - My dream place just came up front of me splendidly. Bilal was one of the best guides I ever met. Without his detailed information while taking me through, I didn’t appreciate this mausoleum as such. Thank you so much for the wonderful day!

Best Tour guide service in Agra - Bilal is an extreme professional and humble person. I would easily give him 5 stars for his services. The moment you confirm him, he makes sure everything is well co-ordinated.
Apart, from the tour guide service for Taj Mahal and Fatehpur sikri, we also booked our transportation from Delhi to Agra through Bilal and everything was very well arranged.
They also took us to a place wherein we could see how marble carving work is done in Agra. It was pretty interesting.
Overall it was a very nice experience with Bilal and his team.
I strongly recommend Bilal and his team to all those who are looking for a professional local expert.

Incredible Taj Mahal Tour - Bilal did a great job guiding us through the Taj Mahal. He knows the history of the building thoroughly and can have interesting conversations about history and religion. He was very patient and took plenty of time to take pictures for us. On top of that, he helped negotiate a taxi price for us so we could get to the airport. Thanks for an incredible day in Agra!
