We found Noor to be a fantastic tour guide . His knowledge was so comprehensive and he made the day one of our best experiences. Took so many photos of my partner so we can remember the day . Would highly recommend Noor as the perfect guide in Agra

The Taj Mahal is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the south bank of the Yamuna river in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, to house the tomb of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It also houses the tomb of Shah Jahan, the builder.
Agra Fort is a historical fort in the city of Agra in India. It was the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty until 1638, when the capital was shifted from Agra to Delhi. Before capture by the British, the last Indian rulers to have occupied it were the Marathas.

This was my second time with Noor doing the tour at Taj Mahal and again he has gone above what was expected. He is one in a million. Exceptional knowledge of the history and facts that keeps you in awe all the time. Creating memories with his exceptional photo skills and views of Taj. Will do it again with Noor. Real expert tour. Thank you very much for all the memories.
Perfect Tour, including a photo shoot by the tour guide!
It was the most beautiful site to see and understand the craanship our tour guide Noor was so well verse and shared the history and cultural heritage of the Tas Mahal with passion, enthusiasm and Zeal a wealth of knowledge and made us feel most welcome.
I really loved my experience. The Tour guide Noor was excellent. I felt secured, I learnt alot. He was patient, non discriminatory, professional and highly efficient. I will recommend anytime, any day. Great experience, great place.
I visited the Taj Mahal in the afternoon with Mr. Noor, and the experience was truly memorable. His storytelling and trivia brought the monument to life. He explained everything with clarity and passion, making the visit both educational and engaging. I was amazed not only by the beauty of the Taj Mahal but also by the depth of knowledge Mr. Noor shared. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to appreciate the monument beyond its stunning appearance. Footnote: Mr. Noor also has a great eye for photography, making my pictures look like they were taken by a professional.
Noor is a great guide taking time to explain but also keeping the tempo up. Extra sightseeing after our own wishes was not a problem.
Noor is really good guide, sharing most interesting details making your visit really fun. He also takes care to make you feel comfortable despite of any challenge, like temperature. Really nice experience and fully recommend Noor as guide for best of experiences in Taj Mahal.
Noor was excellent. Efficient and delivered his tour with good pace. Grew up within the grounds of the Taj, had amazing local knowledge. Takes amazing photos as well. Highly recommended.
Really nice experience, lovely pictures
We had a fantastic trip in Agra thanks to our tour guide Noor. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout the tour. Noor explained the history of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort in a very clear and interesting way, and he helped us manage the schedule smoothly so our family—including our two kids—could enjoy comfortably. He also helped us avoid crowds, took great family photos, and recommended good local spots. Because of Noor, our Agra trip became one of the best memories from our India stay. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Agra!
Noor was a great guide. Personable, engaging and knowledgeable. He dealt with all the technical procedures so we were able to skip the queues and fully enjoy the tour. He was also very flexible with our schedule. In addition, Noor is quite an expert in taking photos and knows all the tricks, so we are grateful that he captured all our memorable moments.
Amazing tour thank you very much for lovely day at Taj Mahal and Agra fort. Thank you Vicky Best of luck and have a lovely day
Nice tour, with good pictures and explanation with Noor (he has perfect picture spots, even if it was crowded). It was a bit too rushy, but it was more a misalignment of the tour company on what sites we would visit on that day rather than his fault (we were expecting only Agra Fort, so we left Delhi late morning, but when arrived at Agra on early afternoon, the guide said that it was not worth to do it on the next day morning due to fog conditions - which proved to be true -, so we needed to do both at that afternoon, which rushed the day…and you don’t wanna rush India’s main attraction, of course). After both tours, he took us to a ceramics shop (where we bought a nice piece, but I know some people don’t like this, so better first align about it). Initially we were not excited at all, but at the end it was worth it, as they showed how the stones were used to build and decorate the Taj Mahal
Noor was an incredible guide. He made our tour informative, very interesting and a lot of fun. He also took amazing pictures with all the great angles that we will treasure forever of our wonderful experience. Thank you Noor!!
Noor was an amazing guide. I have been to the Taj Mahal before and used other tour guides and Noor has been by far the best. Spoke English excellently and had a great demeanour. He was a wealth of knowledge and made the tour extremely enjoyable and held everyone’s attention including my 9 year old son (which is no small task). He also took some great pictures that everyone enjoyed and conducted some great trick photography which will create long lasting memories. A++ Noor we will definitely see you next time!
We stayed at Radisson Hotel Agra and we have hired a tour guide(Asif) from hotel’s travel desk. Asif was really good and patient in giving a detailed guided tour of both Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. We had a really good time exploring. Will definitely recommend Asif as a tour guide
Noor is an excellent guide. He gave us a lovely tour of both the Taj Mahal & Agra fort & had a lot of historical information to share. Besides this he is a wonderful photographer & helped us take excellent photos. He is very experienced & polite.
Noor was brilliant, we were short on time but he saved the day, highly recommend, also has complete knowledge. Magical place photos and trip.
We had a great experience touring the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort! Our guide, Noor, was incredibly knowledgable and answered all of our questions. He is also an expert at taking photos - all of the photos he took with our phones were professional quality. The whole tour took around 3 hours including transit time between the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. We had hired a car separately so cannot speak to the quality of this tour's car service, but Noor was a great guide and got us through all lines and entry points very efficiently. He also made sure we got to our car safely after each tour, which I appreciated as we were three women traveling alone. Highly recommend!
Great service really enjoyed, thanks Noor! One of the most good things about Noor is the entertaining skill which includes taking a great picture for some good memories👍
Noor was exceptional and professional! More than breaking the language barrier and knowledge of the area and history, one needs personal touch. Noor did just that. His excellent know how of the area helped us learn about the heritage while also navigate safely. We had my mother and a nephew who was hurt recently with us on this trip. Noor gave extra attention to them, arranging wheelchair and helping them avoid stairs whenever he could. Noor obviously helped us bypass the long lines, which was a lifesaver! He took us to nice shops, so we could buy authentic souvenirs. I would dare to say that he made the trip more memorable! I highly recommend him.
Guide Asif was well informed, courteous, professional in attire and made our visit to Agra easy and edutainment. I would recommend Asif as a tour guide to Tajmahal with great pleasure
It's was amazing journey, And very thankful for golden taj tour who amazing services provide by us. I satisfied for this service its a good and gorgeous tour. Thanking u Humam
Farman had been a great support during our visit to Agra. From Taj tour to markets and the local food, everything was well taken care off. Highly Recommended
Farman's hospitality was good, was patient enough to show all the places. He was knowledgeable and explained everything very well.. his photography skills are also commendable
Atul was friendly and very informative about the history of the sites we visited. He speaks very clear English and explains the history in great details and way to understand.
Noor is filled with knowledge, humor and experience. He shared the most fascinating stories and allowed us to really connect with the Taj Mahal and the Agra community. Noor is one of the best guides I have ever had. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Agra and the Taj Mahal!
It was a great experience having Mr. Noor as our tour guide. One of the pioneer and he really knows the in and out of the amazing places… You will not feel as a tourist only, but treated as VVIP. Many Thanks!
We stayed a week in February 2019 privately in New Delhi for a stopover. It was not an organized trip through an agency. On one of the tours with the tuk-tuk in the city we met the brother of Roop Kishor. He made us the suggestion to go to AGRA to the Taj Mahal with a private driver. On the appointed day, his brother Roop Kishor came with a driver and picked us up from the hotel. It was a very pleasant and safe ride. We were well informed in English and Roop Kishor proved to be a good tour guide during the visit to the Taj Mahal. Finally, we invited him and our driver to a meal in an Indian restaurant. It was an unforgettable trip. We say thank you again. We are happy to recommend him as a travel companion. I am still in contact with him today.
Noor was a fantastic guide! Couldn’t recommend him enough. He gave us an in depth tour and was full of knowledge. Noir was also great with getting the best photos for us and we have some really memorable shots. A lovely man and a great guide. 10/10 service.
Noor was an exceptional tour guide during our visits to the Taj Mahal and Red Fort. His deep knowledge and passion for these historic sites truly enriched our experience. Noor’s enthusiasm was contagious, making every moment memorable. He was attentive, ensuring all our questions were answered while providing us with unique insights that went beyond the typical tour. Highly recommend Noor for anyone looking to explore these magnificent landmarks with an expert who goes above and beyond.
Good knowledge, anf very informing and well behaved guide, he has good and accurate knowledge in history. Wonderful guidance.
The views were absolutely stunning. Noor was extremely knowledgeable, helping, courteous and has a good eye. Was able to pick the best spots for pictures and shade. Will highly recommend to anyone making their way here in the future.
Great Tour, would recommend 100% Super knowledgeable, friendly, and chatty could not have been better give us the best experience possible.
It was amazing experience to see one of the wonders of the world, our delegates from United Kingdom had a wonderful time and experience. Mr Noor was excellent as a guide and care taker. He is well versed with all the minor details of Taj Mahal and the locality, trust worthy person. He explains every bit of the history and cherry on the cake is his photography skills which saved our money which we would have paid to hire a photographer. Excellent person with knowledge.
A fantastic tour with Mr Noor 🫶🏽 Our visit to the Taj Mahal at Agra was one of the highlights of a fantastic week visiting our friends in India. The whole experience was made complete with the help of our brilliant tour guide Mr Noor. From the minute we stepped onto the site of “The Kings Palace” and way before the Taj Mahal itself came into view, we were immediately transported back in time with Mr Noor’s detailed account where every marble slab, mosaic inlay and the beautiful detail of the king and queen, who’s love story sparked its construction and the people who’s skill and hard work brought it to life. It was as if Mr Noor had been involved in the project of construction and personally experienced the lives of the people who built it. His relaxed personality and professional presentation made it feel as if we were being told the story by a friend and we all enjoyed our time in his company for the whole day. The trip was further brought to life with a visit to an artisans outlet where we saw people working to this day using the same materials and skills incorporated in the construction of the Taj Mahal and who are involved in its restoration project. Finally a visit to a local restaurant whose food and service was second to none finished off a perfect day. All this was under the guidance and recommendation of Mr Noor and all of which we could never have discovered without his help and knowledge! We couldn’t recommend Mr Noor enough and would strongly advise anyone planning on going to visit the Taj Mahal to use his services to bring to story to life !
One of the best experiences i have had, what made it a very special and memorable trip was our tour guide Noor. He was very clear and made maximum effort to ensure we would have brilliant and spectacular visit.
Mr. Noor was fantastic better than expected. Everything was above my expectations, and if I could pick any guy in the world, it would be him if you pick someone else that’s your loss fantastic pictures, memories and much more. And then I’ll take the chicken fajitas and then chicken chef special with chicken chicken
I had a truly amazing time visiting Agra Fort and The Taj Mahal with my guide, Noor. He made the visits effortless and hassle free along with being a fountain of knowledge about the sites. He knew the best locations for photos and took many of me, ensuring that I had the best experience and memorable photos of my time at both sites. His care and consideration of my wellbeing was much appreciated.
"Thank you so much DS for the unforgettable experience exploring the Taj Mahal and Red Fort in Agra! Your expertise and passion truly brought the rich history and beauty of these iconic landmarks to life. It was an incredible journey, and we're grateful for your guidance and insights throughout the tour."
Great time with Noor! Very professional and knew the right spots for all of the pictures at Taj. Super knowledgable as well.
Noor was an excellent guide. Great and interesting historical and architectural knowledge and presentation. He brought a spectacular présentation to an already remarkable and beautiful landmark. If you are thinking of going yo and landmark in India take Noor. You will not be disappointed. Sunil_bhagwandeen@yahoo.co.uk
Noor Uddin was my tour guide during the visit of Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. Noor was exceptional in his knowledge of the subject matter and his style of narration was great as well. The added bonus was his photography skills. Our pictures at these 2 locations turned out to be more fabulous than at any other attraction. Thanks Noor.
We went to tajmahal today. Noor was our guide. He was so knowledgeable about the history and the place. He explained the nitty-grittyies well and patience in responding to all our queries. We are very happy. Thank you noor. Keep up the good work.
Noor is super friendly and patient. He had our entrances ready and knew all the way to get through all the places. He really know the best spots to take stunning pictures at the Taj. The tour starts at Taj Mahal, then continues at a marble shop where quality is visible. The tour at the Agra Fort is also great and Noor has great stories to tell. The last spot is one more shop but I would have prefered to skip that and visit another landmark instead.
We had an amazingly organised tour with Noor to see the Taj Mahal in Agra. Not only was it an excellent tour with great explanations for the backstory of the Taj Mahal, we were taken to excellent eating places that fit our dietary requirements. It was a stress free process and was excellent to have someone with us who could take us to the handicrafts of the Taj too. I will definitely be recommending to friends and family. Also Noor took amazing pictures of myself and the family which was enjoyable too.
Highly recommend. Very convenient and affordable. Great knowledge and definitely knew what to do and see at the right times. Thank you Noor!
Mahal with the exceptional guide, Robin. Robin's knowledge and passion for the monument were truly outstanding. He provided a fascinating historical context and shared captivating stories about the Taj Mahal, making the experience immensely enriching. The Taj Mahal itself is a breathtaking marvel, and Robin's guidance enhanced the visit, making it an unforgettable journey through history and architecture. I highly recommend exploring this iconic monument with Robin as your guide for an insightful and memorable experience.
We were lucky to have Lucky as our official tour guide. He took time to explain everything about Taj and its rich history.
