Farid was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, going at a good pace, answering my questions, and providing me with valuable history and insights. Nizam was there and ready to pick us up, providing water and driving safely.
The tour was absolutely great, informative and brought such great value to my day. Farid, my guide, was so knowledgeable, kind and great person to have conversations with and Nizam, my driver was very skilled and attentive. Do not hesitate! I was even offered a free upgrade to a car with ac due to temperatures being particularly high on the day of my visit.
I had an amazing tour this morning with Farid and Ali. Ali is a very attentive driver, and Farid is an extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide. He answered all my questions, took lots of photos for me, and gave me plenty of time to take it all in. The company even adjusted the time and upgraded me from tuk tuk to taxi at the last minute because of rain / heat / humidity for no additional cost. As a solo female traveler from America, I sincerely recommend this tour. Thank you all so much!
Farid Baig is very knowledgeable and flexible tour guide and provided a lot of information and kept the tour interesting for the whole family. Thank you Farid!
Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. He knew the best spots for capturing stunning pictures. He recommended a local restaurant for an authentic and delicious Indian breakfast.
Faird Baig our guide confirmed the night before the pickup time and showed up on time. Knowledgeable and experienced. We only did the Taj Mahal morning tour since we had a flight to catch at New Delhi in the afternoon. We also made a stop at the marbles inlay hand craft store, bring your wallet.
Excellent tour due to guide Farid. Very knowledgeable, polite and accommodating. Could answer all questions unlike some of the guides we had in Delhi. Would highly recommend.
Farid was our best guide in India. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic. A scholar of history. Highly recommend spending the money on this tour. We did the early Taj and Agra Fort in the afternoon. Wish we had more time to do more tours with Farid.
Highly recommend. Our guide, Ajeet was very informative, gave us advice, recommended photo opportunities and we weren’t rushed. Really enjoyed our time at the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort.
Ali was a very informative and personable guide! He took us to some great photo spots and made the experience magical.
Superb tour and service with prompt pick up and drop off and knowledgeable guide who knew the history and the good photo spots
I was worried this was not a genuine excursion seen as there was so little information. But sure enough Farid turned up nice and early and was super friendly. His English is excellent. The Tuk Tuk was spanking new. The visit to the Taj was absolutely amazing and it was great to have a guide with us to explain all about it. He is also a great photographer. The tour included a visit to one of the marble inlay workshops which was nice to visit but took a long time out of the day, when we knew we could not purchase anything due to weight. Overall recommend it highly.
Farid was a wonderful tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. We have some amazing photos thanks to his great photo skills! After our Taj Mahal visit, he brought us back to our hotel so that we could freshen up and have breakfast, continuing on the tour after a nice break. Amazing day!
Malikasif was excellent. He provided great information on both the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. Seeing the carpet making and marble creations were an added bonus. Malikasif is very insightful on the history of India and Agra, and a great photographer as well. Highly recommend.
Really enjoyed our day with Farid. He was very keen to share his excellent knowledge of the Taj and its history. We also particularly enjoyed our visit to the marble carving. We were travelling with three teens, the youngest of whom was 12, and Farid did a great job with them
Enjoyable half day tour with Farid. Detailed explanation and is flexible on schedule for photos or self tour. Highly recommended.
Even though my time was very limited, my guide Abdul tried to accommodate all my timing needs and help me with everything I needed. Thanks to him, I had a great time visiting Taj Mahal and Agra fort.
Farhid was a phenomenal guide: friendly, knowledgeable, personable, on time, and fun. It was more fun to ride in autos than in yet another Innova. Overall a great experience.
The guide Imran was punctual and knew all the right spots to get the best photos. There are lots of photographers outside pushing their services but the photos on our iPhone were better.
Excellent tour, highly recommended! Our guide Farid was very nice, very knowledgeable, and a skilled photogragh. He took beautiful pictures of us and explained so many things we would have missed without a tour. Our driver, Ajeet, was also very good and punctual.
It was a very good experience and worth waking up early to see the Taj Mahal with less crowd. Special thanks to the Guide Farid, he was just amazing and very patient with all our requests. He gave us a good explanation and made sure we had a good experience of the Taj Mahal. Highly recommend it, especially with Farid as the tour guide.
Farid could not have been better as a guide and companion. The information he provided made the tour of Taj Mahal and Agra Fort really special and we will remember it for a long time. He and his driver were supremely helpful and I would recommend that everyone organises a tour with Farid - it’s the best value I’ve come across in our whole trip to India
Our guide was Malikasif or Asif who took us to Taj Mahal and Agra Forte. He is knowledgeable and answered all our questions. He was also fantastic with taking photos of us and we now have wonderful memories. Thank you.
Amazing!!! This was one of the best tours I did in India. Farid was incredible! He explained all the details about the places we visited, answered all our questions and took amazing pictures!! He new the poses and the spots to take the best pictures ever and was very patient, never rushing us. I would do more tours with him for sure!
We had the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort tour with guide Farid. Hands down one of the best guides I’ve ever had in my life. He was prompt, communicative, and flexible for our tour. He made recommendations for timing and our schedule based on the fog and optimal weather for Taj viewing. He was SO informative, engaging, and took the best pictures!!! I learned so much and left with so many pictures that he took. Seriously he is amazing and so kind. Took us to a bonus location to see beautiful tapestries and handmade goods. 100/10 experience Also tuktuk was nice and clean and great driver
And amazing experience. Our tour guide was e trek y knowledgeable and friendly. He also took the best photos ever! He also took his time to answer all questions. In general a great experience
Enchanting experience: Balbir's knowledge is inexhaustible and he does everything to make the trip unforgetable.
Easy, smooth and fulfilling experience visiting Taj and Agra Fort with Mr. Farid. He is knowledgeable, engaging and flexible. The 5.30am start from the hotel is much recommended and needed. This allows you the best atmosphere and ambience around the Taj, including beating most of the crowds. Mr. Farid's history lessons are a must-listen, and his sense for what his audience needs is spot on. My partner and I were overcome with emotion, and the boys felt connected to their heritage. We left the hotel at 5.30am for Taj and returned at 12pm, including breakfast as GMB Sweets (because we wanted a traditional Agra breakfast) and visiting Agra Fort. My family and I whole heartedly recommend this experience with Saniya Tours and with Mr. Farid.
The Sunrise Tour of Taj Mahal and Agra Fort in Tuk-Tuk was Awesome! Experiences like this are all about the knowledge and charisma of your tour guide, and in my case I hit the lottery! Farid was friendly, insightful, and easygoing in a way that made it feel more like a friend rather than a stranger. Farid explained significance and history of each place in great detail. Highly recommended. Excellent Tour!
We were taken care of right from the very beginning of this early-morning tour. Our guide, Fahid, Was punctual, friendly and made sure that as two women we were kept safe from touts and monkeys :) We commented that it was so good to have a guide and not navigate the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort on our own. The Taj Mahal is indeed beautiful and it was so good to have a knowledgeable guide give us all the background so that we could appreciate it even more. It was a very hot day and our time at Agra Fort was probably cut short by the need to get out of the heat, but Fahid ensured that we were as comfortable as possible. Thoroughly recommend this tour to all travellers coming back to India
An excellent tour from beginning to end. Mr Farid met us in the hotel lobby. 0530 is pretty early but really worth it to beat the crowds and the heat at Taj Mahal! Farid was very knowledgeable about the history and shared it in a very nice way that kept our 11 year old entertained too! He was also pretty good with our camera so we got some great family shots, something you don’t often get. The breakfast stop back at the hotel was really good. The tuk tuk ride to Agra Fort was great fun. The tuk tuk was very well maintained and beautifully decorated. Again we learned a lot at the fort. We also stopped at a marble manufacturing centre. Very interesting and our son had a go on the equipment. A great half day and highly recommended
Our tour was amazing. The guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and the itinerary was perfect.
What am amazing tour a must do in Agra! Farid our tour guide was fantastic he was so knowledgeable and such a pleasure to be around he made us feel very comfortable and answered all our questions and also gave us great insight and history about Agra overall. He also knew all the great spots to take lovely photographs and did this for us throughout the day. Rakesh our rickshaw driver was so lovely he made us feel very safe the whole way. He also waited for us at all stops which was great and very kind and he always had a smile on his face and did his best to speak English and show us what different places were along the way.
Farid was an amazing tour guide, with great knowledge of the Taj Mahal and Red Fort. We were shown spots at both places that we would not have found on our own. Rakesh was a lovely driver who picked us from our hotel, dropped us back at our hotel for breakfast and waited for us. He was also very knowledgeable about the area and the roads. Had an amazing day and will definitely recommend to friends and family. Patricia
The much anticipated sunrise tour to the Taj Mahal was aided in great benefit from our guide Farid. As majestic the Taj Mahal is to see in full morning sun, Farid provide expert advice, history, and tips for that perfect photo. Getting us through the gate to be the first to view the Taj Mahal, and take photos with nobody else around was amazing. This was only rivalled by his passion for the love story, and his knowledge of the Taj. After a short break back at our hotel for breakfast, Farid was waiting eagerly to take us on the sequel of our tour, the Agra Fort. Once again Farid excelled in providing all that was needed to know about the Agra Fort, a real history lesson in a way that you could almost envision yourself there 400 years ago. The cherry on top of the cake was the photography skills of Farid, the light contrast, depth, and right corner to stand provided amazing snaps. It still looks like some a photo shopped. I highly recommend this tour, but do yourself a favour and request the expertise in all aspects of Farid for that little bit extra.
Really good from the start. Picked us up at 5.30am from our hotel, took us to the Taj Mahal for sunrise to avoid the crowds. His knowledge and facts were so interesting - we learnt all about the history which was fascinating. We then went back to our hotel for breakfast before being picked up again to go to Agra Fort. We stopped on the way at a local jewellers and saw some beautiful embroidery. His knowledge about Agra Fort was also amazing and it was a highly enjoyable tour. We ended with going to a local textiles shop to buy some souvenirs which was great. Would highly recommend doing this tour!!! Well worth it.
Our tour guide Khalid picked us up at 5.30am so we could be amongst the first into the Taj and see it for sunrise. He was very knowledgable and taught us not only about history of the Taj Mahal, but also of wider India! Highly recommend this tour for small groups or couples looking to learn and not just view the monuments.
We’d recommend this tour to anyone who wants an informed and flexible look at Agra’s two main tourist attractions, The Taj and Agra Fort. Ali is a lovely guy, and very knowledgeable about the subject matter. He and his driver took us to the TM at sunrise and explained the history in depth which was fascinating. We had our five year old with us and needed a rest back at the hotel before we took a look at Agra Fort. Ali was happy to accommodate. Ali also arranged transport to our train in the wee hours the following night through his travel company which allayed our fears of an Uber not turning up at 2am Our tour did involve a visit to a marble shop that despite being interesting, was nonetheless a “hard sell” which makes many western visitors feel uncomfortable. If this is you, We’d suggest you simply refuse this part of the tour. Again, the strength of this tour for us is it’s flexibility and Ali’s English is first class.
Khalid was a great tour guide - knowledgeable and good company. We made contact the afternoon before the sunrise tour and communicating via Whatsapp worked fine. The tuk tuk driver was very nice and efficient too. All went smoothly and Khalid was happy to tailor our morning to include taking us to a local breakfast spot because we had time. Would highly recommend.
Asif met us bright and early at our hotel for the short tut tut ride and walk to the Taj. After passing the security checks which are a little onerous, and in the Taj grounds we had a wonderful tour with Asif offering up much of the historical context of the building. Asif took care to ensure we secured best photo opportunities. We proceeding by Tut Tut to the fort which was again explained well and held our interest. While we had not arranged further sight seeing later that day, Asif arranged to take us to the mini Taj and then tut tut to the station for our onward journey to Delhi. A worthwhile tour at reasonable cost. Asif speaks good English and is friendly in nature. Well worth considering.
Asif was an incredible guide. He picked us up promptly from our hotel and shared a great wealth of knowledge both on the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort that we visited but also about general life and history of Agra. Would hugely recommend doing this tour for someone who wants an easy journey around Agra and to go see the Taj at sunrise!
<p>Farid was an exceptional tour guide and photographer. He knew all the right places to take pictures and where to avoid the crowds- he was very aware of where we were at all time and made sure that we were safe outside of the Taj Mahal- His knowledge was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Would recommend this tour for anyone - Sunrise is definitely the time to go to avoid the crowds</p>
<p>We had an amzing Tour to Taj Mahal and the red fort. Our guide Farid had great knowledge about both destination. This is a must if you are visiting Agra.<br/> Frank</p>
<p>We had an amazing morning on the sunrise Tour of the Taj Mahal by Tuk Tuk. The evening before our trip we were contacted by Farid to confirm our pick up time at the hotel. In the morning we were met promptly by Farid and our tuk tuk and driver and off we went.<br/> Farid was very knowledgeable about the Taj and allowed us to enjoy the visit and added to our day sharing the interesting history of this amazing place. Also it was great that he made suggestions for photo opportunities and took several of the both of us.<br/> After the Taj visit we returned to the hotel for breakfast and then visited Agra Fort which was well worth the visit.<br/> Outside the main tourist attractions can be busy and Farids guidance to the ticket counters and best route was great.<br/> I would highly recommend Farid and this tour. A visit to the Taj at sunrise by tuk tuk what an amazing day. Thank you.</p>
<p>Great Day!!! we used this company to do the sunrise tour. From the moment we booked at very short notice Salamat communicated with us very promptly and we were duly picked up from the hotel by Farid on time the following morning. Tuk Tuk is a nice way to start the day and vehicle was very clean and tidy with nice driver. Farid was a fantastic guide offering advice on where to take best photos. He also allowed the tour to take its natural course rather than being the robotic experience we encountered with a couple of other guides. After Taj we returned to hotel for shower and brekky and then on to Agra Fort. Again Farid whilst presenting all the relevant information, sensed the bits that we were enjoying and accommodated that - e.g. interaction with locals. We had only committed to the half day tour and were discussing with Farid best place to view Taj in the evening and between he and Salamat they organised a very special viewing from a boat on the river right in front of Taj. Enjoyed this very much. A great finish to a wonderful day. Salamat also organised a very satisfactory transportation from Agra to Jaipur via Fatepur Sikri. Both Farid and Salamat sent us pics via Whats App - very thoughtful. Absolutely no hesitation in giving both Saniya Day Tours and Farid a very high recommendation</p>
