Taj Mahal Guide Farid is amazing! - Our guide Farid was very knowledgeable about everything (Taj Mahal, Fort, Little Taj) that we saw in Agra. Lunch was wonderful. While the train stations are chaotic, guides were with us from the hotel>train station Delhi and the. Farid picked us up at the train station in Agra. We went on the tour and Farid dropped us back off at the train station and walked us to our train.

Family Travel - We absolutely loved our day trip to the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort with Farid (our guide) and Nizam (our driver). We got to spend so much time at the monuments and we also really loved our food at the restaurant Bon Barbecue. It was a wonderful time with just enough leftover time for coffee and shopping!

Excellent trip - This trip was great! The tour guide Farid was fantastic and very knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions and gave really great background information for the Taj Mahal and places we visited. He kept a large group of women and men very safe and protected our privacy while in public tourists areas. His recommendations for food, culture and shopping were top notch. We hope to come back and you 100% recommend Farid for your touring needs. Thank you so much!

Royal Experience at the Taj Experience - Great planning and engagement by Salamat Ali, the trip organizer. Always was one step ahead of us and informed us of our driver was and what our train seats were, etc. The entire process was a seamless and on time experience. The highlight was our tour guide Farid Baig. Farid was well informed and his presence, wit and patience made the experience so much more fun and fulfilling. Farid made it fun for the kids and gave them a few fun physics and geometry lessons in real life that bought the Taj to life. The lunch was a definite out of the world experience. The tour was well worth the price of admission. Would engage with this agent again for any of my future tours.

Farid was the BEST - Went with 6 people in early July (very hot and humid) and was very impressed by the hospitality, coordination and care that was taken by Viru and Farid. Farid is a certified travel host and is filled with expert knowledge of Agra. He took such great care of our group and made us feel safe, secure and welcomed. Thank you so much for all your help and making our travels stress free. Would highly recommend!

Seamless Agra Experience - My travel partner and I had been looking to check the Taj Mahal off our World Wonder list, and this tour was the best experience. It also offered Agra Fort and “Baby Taj” Tomb of Etimad ud Doulah. We chose first class bullet train tickets with breakfast. Pick up at our hotel was prompt and the driver led us to our train car and seats. He took a picture of us to send to the receiving driver in Agra. This removed all guess work and confusion. Train and pick-up were seamless. Farid was our tour guide and Mubeen was our driver. Farid is very knowledgeable and entertained all our requests for pictures. He took fantastic photographs and knew the best spots and angles for capturing the beauty of the Taj Mahal. Mubeen was a very safe driver and navigated the traffic patterns with care. Lunch was delicious and offered a well-rounded selection of the culture. I felt safe at all times. I absolutely recommend booking this tour via bullet train.
