I booked this tour last minute the night before. The tour company was well organised and arranged to pick me up from Agra Cantt station. Zee showed me around the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort and had in depth knowledge of the history and fun facts about each site. Zee had great food recommdations for lunch and souvenirs. Thanks Zee!
Well organised trip. Khan explained everything necessar6, not to much details, just the right level.
Taj Mahal is one of the most adored monuments in the world. The glazing white marble shimmers over the Yamuna river, creating a paradise illusion. In front of the Taj Mahal are lush Persian gardens that complement the majesty of the architecture. The beautiful monument is located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh.
Khan was fantastic! He took us all around Agra for the day and told us lots of information about it. Very friendly with outstanding English, helped us avoid scams and was very accommodating to our every need. If you ever need help in Agra then Khan is your man!
Khan was extremely hospitable and accomodating for my time in Agra, every location we came to he explained exactly how to get in and how long to spend there in order to get the best out of it. He was very conscious of my train time and even checked its status while I was busy to let me know if there were any delays, he timed everything so well that I even have a meal to get on the train with by the end of the day. I highly recommend his service to anyone travelling in Agra. I’ll be keeping his number for when I come back!
We met Khan by chance after disembarking the train at the station first thing Saturday morning. There was so much chaos at the station. Khan was honest, truthful and trustworthy from the very first moment to the end of the day. He took us to all of the main attractions in Agra, was flexible with the schedule and let us spend some time by ourselves, while also explaining and guiding our tour. When we were unsure he answered the phone and helped us out with ease. He drove us to a trustworthy restaurant for lunch, and answered any requests we had. At the end of the day, he drove us to the train station and got us to the train with time to spare, while guiding us back to our train's and even tracking it using the app. We felt very comfortable with him and we are very thankful for such a wonderful tour. Thanks to Khan, our day was more enjoyable, this was literally one of our best days in India.
We cannot recommend Khan enough! He did an amazing job, was very nice, honest and was able to provide valuable information. 5 stars!
We met Khan on our first day in Agra and have been guided by him for 3 days. It was a pleasure meeting him, he showed us around very well and is very nice. He gave us a good impression of Agra and showed us the places to be. His English is good and the communication was also very good. We could count on him and he was always ready to help us. We recommend exploring Agra with him.
had a great time with Khan. I don't normally like riding in tuc tucs or taxis but Khan was so friendly and honest when he picked me up from train station, I decided to book a tour with him. Really nice guy, excellent English,lots of historical information and will answer any question you have about India/Indian culture:) He is like an encyclopedia of India:))) And I have a great recommendation for some Agra nightlife tonight. Thanks Khan Edward
Khan is a really nice and trustable driver! Always available,he will give you good advices according to what you want to do.
Everything was great! He showed me all Agra interesting places, very affordable and comfortable because you don't have to deal with probable scams, he tells everything you need to know.
We had a great time with Ali. Will definitely come again. He ensured all our needs were taken care off. We had a fun time and overall it was a pleasant experience
We went by the end of Feb and booked an auto from Agra cantt railway station. It was 600 per day and we were able to visit all the major places in the day time and was dropped off at Taj Mahal in the evening for Sunset. The Auto driver Rihan Bhaiyya was such a kind person who was explaining us the history of each places and also helped us by suggesting really good shopping and food places. He was so punctual and helpful that I had suggested it to all the friends who went after me. Would love to go again
Khan took really good care of us for our stay in Agra. With him everything is REALLY possible. We recommend it without hesitation.
Mr. Khan was the one who took me from Agra Cantt Station to the hotel. Mr. Khan is kind and reliable! This was my first trip to India, and I enjoyed Agra very much. When I was heading to the hotel from the station, it was past 9pm due to a train delay. I was nervous because it was my first time in this place and I had no one to rely on, but Mr. Khan was considerate of me and talked to me to calm me down. As we were talking, I told him that I wanted to buy a sari because I wanted to wear one to the Taj Mahal. Even though the sari shop was already closed, he called a recommended shop for me, opened the shop, and took me there! I remember that there were many beautiful saris in the shop, and all of them were of good quality. I tried on a few saris and was able to buy a very cute one. Mr. Khan waited for me until I bought the sari, and when I was done, he took me straight to the hotel! He is a really kind person. When I showed a photo of me wearing the sari I bought to my Japanese friend, he was surprised and said, "I didn't know there were such beautiful saris!" I also wore this sari to the Taj Mahal, and many people said to me, "You look beautiful!", which made me very happy. If I come to Agra again, I'd like to ask Khan for a tour! Thank you!
It was a nice tour well organized by Khan. We toured the most important monuments of Agra and Kahn explained their history to us. The tuk tuk ride is an experience worth having!
