Private Guided Tour Tajmahal And Agra From New Delhi

I booked a last minute trip from Gurgaon/Delhi to Agra to see the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. Arif was very helpful in arranging everything from hotel pickup to breakfast/lunch and the tours of the sites themselves. Arif was a great tour guide and was very knowledgeable about both sites. Jitesh was a great driver as well. Would definitely use Arif again for any sightseeing in North India / Golden Triangle

I had an amazing time on my visit to the Taj Mahal, largely thanks to Arif. He's a wonderful guide who is very knowledgeable about the history of the area, and he took great photos during the tour. He also very clearly prioritizes the safety and comfort of his guests, so I would recommend to other solo female travelers.

Mr. Arif was recommended to us by friends who had taken his tour in the past. He was very responsive and helped us set up a tour from Delhi to Agra that included a private guided tour of the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and a street food tour. The information and history he provided during the tour was very informative and was exactly what we were looking for. The food tour was incredible and was catered to what we needed. Highly recommend!

We had a great time in Agra and at the Taj Mahal. Arif managed the trip down to every little detail. We never had to worry about anything. His knowledge of history and culture was on full display. There was no question I asked that he couldn’t answer! Our driver, Dinesh, was great as well! He saved us so many times on the crazy streets of India! Highly recommend!!

My family enjoyed Arif’s services. It was three of us; husband, wife and our daughter. We only had a weekend to visit Taj Mahal. Arif did an excellent job right from picking us up from our door step, visiting Red Fort, baby Taj, Mehtab Garh, Taj Mahal and assisted every single bit of our needs. We had amazing access to good food, hygienic settings and had zero challenges throughout. Our driver Dinesh was a thorough professional and kept us safe throughout our travel. Arif was very knowledgeable on any topic of Agra’s history and India’s history in general. We enjoyed our conversations with Arif and Dinesh. Looking forward to our next travel in India with Arif’s services!

Well Organised tour From Start to end Everything was amazing Special thanka to Our Guide Faez & Mr Driver They were very supporting Guide Was Very Knowledgeable with his detailed history on each stop

I have been visiting Agra and it's monuments several times in the last few years. Friends in India, deeple embedded in it's history, recommended I would ask Arif to take us around. And he has been fantastic every time; his knowledge of the history is deep and he tailors every trip to his guests needs. I have enjoyed his guidance when I go with friends to India, I have also had him receive friends if mine and family members, and they have all loved his trusty and wonderful guidance.

Excellent, can highly recommend! Very knowledgable and helpfum. Our tour guide, Sheela, was also absolutely great!!

I had the pleasure of Arif guiding me to views of the Taj Mahal over one sunset and then through the Taj Mahal and over to Agra Fort the next morning. He made the whole experience so relaxed, effortlessly avoiding the crowds to maximise the time and views for me. His knowledge was excellent. There wasn’t a question I had which he didn’t provide a detailed expert answer. I’ve listened to many podcasts and read up on the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort since and often thought that I learnt more from Arif than from the ‘experts’. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

I used Arif as my guide recently in Agra. Arif was knowledgeable, interesting, fun and most importantly as a solo female traveller, I felt very safe. His knowledge of India's history, architecture and ability to take amazing photos was invaluable. I would definitely use Arif again and highly recommend him to anyone seeking a guide. His pricing was very fair without the hard sell for extras which is a bonus in India

During a business trip to New Delhi, I had a free weekend and decided to visit Agra. I arrived on a Saturday evening without having arranged a guide in advance. After finding Arif’s contact information on TripAdvisor, I reached out to him via WhatsApp, and luckily, he was available the following morning for a sunrise tour of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. Arif arrived promptly at my hotel at 6:30 AM, and we set off for the day. As we explored the sites, he shared fascinating historical details about the monuments' construction and placement, and answered all of my questions. He also told me about his personal experiences and how the area has changed over time. Arif pointed out great spots for photos and even took many of them for me. He has a relaxed, friendly style and gave me plenty of time to appreciate the beauty of the Taj Mahal. Additionally, Arif helped me skip the long entry lines since, as an officially licensed guide, he seemed to have connections with the ticket booths and security. I was fortunate to have Arif as my guide, and I highly recommend reaching out to him if you're planning a trip to Agra!

My wife and I would like to put on record our grateful thanks to Arif for making our recent visit to Agra so memorable for us both. His detailed insights brought the Taj Mahal to life and seeing its magnificence close up was a wonderful experience. The history of Agra Fort was extremely interesting while the walking tour of Agra provided us with a fascinating insight into how so many of the local people live. Arif is knowledgeable, witty and extremely good company and it was our pleasure to spend time with him. I would also record our appreciation of all the arrangements he made on our behalf, especially the choice of Mr Madan to be our driver. His driving skills were excellent at all times, including in the maelstrom of traffic when leaving and entering Delhi. We would not hesitate to recommend Arif's services to anyone looking for a guide in the Agra area - or beyond - and consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have chosen him to guide us through our trip.

Arif was AMAZING! You can tell he takes great pride in showing and educating you about the history and cultural significance of Agra. Arif was very exacting with the details and significance of each aspect of the Taj Mahal and more importantly the why- One of things I greatly appreciated about Arif was the flow of his tour.. walk a little, talk a little, rest a little (it's a few degrees hotter in Agra)..despite what he'll admit to, Arif is a whiz with the camera, both taking pictures and being mindful of ideal locations to snapba memory. Arif, accompanied for a traditional lunch where I had a palau and then off to explore the Agra fort which was absolutely breathtaking. Included with the tour is the option to purchase local products/souvenirs but can be incredibly overwhelming. Recommend sticking to the portions of the tour you are most interested in and Arif will adjust the schedule accordingly. I will certainly seek out Arif on future trips to India.

We recently returned from an unforgettable family trip to India, and I can't say enough about the amazing experience we had with Mr. Arif as our tour provider. There were seven of us in total, and from start to finish, everything was organized to perfection. Our journey took us through breathtaking Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and Ranthambore National Park. Mr. Arif arranged for us to stay in 4 and 5-star hotels (Indian categorization, different from US) that were both comfortable. The 5 star hotels were also luxurious, particularly the one in Jaipur (a renovated Haweli!). Every morning and evening, we enjoyed delicious meals that were included in our package, which (given there were 7 of us!) made our trip even more stress-free. One of the best parts was having knowledgeable and friendly tour guides at each location. They were all experts in their fields and really brought the history and culture of each city to life for us. Mr. Arif himself was our guide in Agra, which was a highlight of our trip. Our private driver, Mr. Bablu, was also fantastic and friendly, safely navigating us from city to city in an air-conditioned bus, which was a huge relief in the June Indian heat. The price per person was very affordable, especially considering the level of service and quality we received. Mr. Arif truly exceeded our expectations, taking care of every detail so we could just focus on enjoying the sights and making memories. If you're planning a trip to India, I highly recommend Mr. Arif's services. It was the trip of a lifetime, and we can't wait for next time!

Wow! Lovely trip we had! We contacted Mr.Arif through TripAdvisor and we decided to plan our Agra one day trip with him. He tailored the tour according to our needs. He didn't rush us or anything like that. He arranged full day private cab for travel. The way he explains the historical and cultural facts of Taj Mahal and Agra Fort is amazing. He is indeed a great guide and good company and would definitely recommend him for any family looking for Delhi Agra Jaipur trips!

Not only was the tour amazing, Arif was so personable and easy to communicate with. He was able to provide a tailored day with the experiences we were looking for. I felt truly cared for and as if Arif wanted to ensure we got the most out of our time.

A truly exceptional tour giving us lovely stories of how and why each building was built. Arif was able to quickly gauge the ideal pace to set our tour at and was very engaging from the get go. He truly made our visit to both the Agra Fort and Taj Mahal a memorable experience. He knows all the key spots to take photos from! We would strongly recommend Arif as a tour guide for ANY tour in Agra let alone for any tour in India. Thank you Arif !

My wife and I had taken Arif’s services during our visit Agra. He walked us through the Mughal splendours and the enriching story of Taj Mahal and the Agra fort. Arif is extremely knowledgeable, great sense of humour and equally proficient in both Hindi and English. His stories and anecdotes kept us happily engaged through the half day tour. Arif is very professional, punctual, courteous and extremely respectful. We loved our interaction and I would highly recommend him in case you truly wish to understand the Mughal history and the splendours of Agra. He also helped us in arranging a guide for our subsequent visit to Fatehpur Sikri and then to Bharatpur. Thank you Arif bhai!!!

I can't say enough good things about Arif. I was skeptical about having a private guide but he was great. I felt completely at ease with him, his English is amazing and he is incredibly knowledgeable about the sites. We went to the Taj Mahal, had lunch and went to the Agra fort. It was so much better than if I had been by myself. I highly recommend him for female solo travelers. As a western woman traveling by myself I tended to attract interest but I never felt uncomfortable when I was with him. He was also a great photographer. I'm not a social media person but it is nice to have some pictures of me at these incredible sites. I didn't interact with the driver who brought me from New Delhi to Agra as much, because his English wasn't as good but he also seemed very nice.

Arif Quereshi , the owner of Walks by Arif is OUTSTANDING ( WhatsApp +91 99173 44456). He is very professional, caring, and made sure our visit to Agra was memorable. He took care of everything during our 2 night stay in Agra. He picked us up at the Railway station, took us to the hotel for check and rest. Then he was our EXCELLENT guide for Agra Fort, Baby Taj and the gardens opposite bank Taj Mahal. The views at sunset were amazing. The following days he picked us early morning at 6 am to go to the Taj Mahal at sunrise. He was our guide and photographer for the 2-3 hours we spent at the Taj Mahal. To avoid crowds, he took us to through the best gate to enter. He arranged our visit to Fathe pur Sikri with a local guide. He recommended excellent restaurants for lunch and dinner. Finally he made arrangements with a private car to drop us at New Delhi airport for a domestic flight. Walks by Arif is very competitive, honest, professional and Arif makes sure everything is perfect. He is truly outstanding.

Arif is a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and interesting. His sense of humor made our tour even more interesting. The transportation from our Delhi hotel and back was also conducted very professionally. Sandeep, our driver came right on time and drove safely along the whole day. We highly recommend Arif as a guide. He has given us a lifetime experience.

Arif was super helpful in organizing a custom 5 day tour for us in the Golden triangle. He booked transport and great guides in every city. He even guided us himself in Delhi. Arif is fast to respond, included many tips on how to make the most of our trip, and had even helped us late in the night when we needed to change hotel in Agra. He is a nice person, with warm personality and great sense of humor. I take the occasion to also mention Atic, our guide for Taj Mahal & Agra, who related the story beautifully and made us feel at ease. In Jaipur we had Satya as a guide, who was very knowledgeable and careful with us to not fall prey to hawkers on the street. And finally, Pradeep, our driver, was a great company during the 5 days. He was skillful in getting through the busy traffic, without endangering us. And on the road to the city he gave us insight into life in India. I should mention that Pradeep keeps a very clean car!

Arif is a very knowledgeable and trustworthy guide. He organized the transfer from Delhi in a car in excellent conditions and with a careful driver. The tour through Agra Fort and Taj Mahal provides a complete background about the context in which both monuments were built and is full of interesting details. Definitely, my visit would have been much poorer without Arif’s input.

Arif organized an Agra and Delhi sightseeing for us and we had a great time! The communication before hand was very smooth and Arif was very flexible in his planning. He was very responsive on email and WhatsApp. Arif personally guided us on our Taj Mahal and Agra Fort visit. His enthusiasm and passion for his city and history was very clear. We could not ask for more in a tour guide. He had stories, he had facts, he had opinions and we learnt so much from him. Arif also organized a trip in Delhi with his colleague which was also very good. If I go back and am looking to organize a trip in North India, I will definitely turn to Arif again. Highly recommended.

Tour was professionally conducted with clear communications from booking till the pickup. Driver Pradeep , guide Shakeel Rafiq were curteous and patient with us and a toddler. We did a customized private Agra tour from Delhi where we had a flexibility of choosing our time. They also picked and dropped us to any nearby restaurant from our restaurant. Shakeel was knowledgeable and did not take us to random places for souvenirs or eating. All his restaurant suggestions were good. Don’t think twice before booking tour with them.

Arif is so passionate and knowledgeable about the Taj Mahal. He added so much to our experience with his insights. It is all about love for eternity :)

THE guide you need for Agra. With superb humour Arif teaches you about the Taj. His knowledge and enthusiasm is superb. Oh and he also teaches you about love. 👍 Amazing tour. Thank you so much!

This is my second time travelling with Arif, always with such professionalism! My girlfriend enjoyed our visit to Agra very much! We went to Agra Fort, Sikandra on one day. The next day we went to Taj Majal on a sunrise and finished at Fatehpur Sikri! We’re back in Delhi for now and we look forward for our next adventures!

A memorable trip planned by Arif. Well planned itinerary, a good transport, well selected places to fit around our schedule. Arif has in depth knowledge about every attraction in and around Agra. Excellent command over English. Never felt we were with a commercial Tourist guide. He even made sure to meet us on the evening we arrived at hotel to welcome us and take us through the itinerary and giving us an opportunity to change as we needed. Thank you Arif. And to add on, he clicks really good pictures 🙂🙂👍

Excellent tour and service. Arif is a class act! I would recommend this tour to anyone coming to India.

Had connected with Mr. Arif for our Agra trip well in advance and he was very diligent in following up with us about our plans and sending timely reminders. Mr. Arif is very knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful tour experience beginning from Fatehpur Sikri, then moving on to Sikandra, Itmad-ud-Daulah, next day sunrise tour of Taj Mahal, and ending with the majestic Agra fort. My family was impressed with the historical stories that Mr. Arif explained mixed with some humor and they really did not know how time went by. He also helped us with capturing wonderful pictures. I would highly recommend engaging the services of Mr. Arif if you are planning to visit Agra and feel satisfied.

Arif is excellent guide & very knowledgeable. He is very pleasant, humble and taken us every inch of Tajmahal and explained in detail & on top of that what ever questions we asked he has great answers. I highly recommend Arif during your India Trip. In fact, I came to know he is licensed guide and almost he can cover majority of historical places in India as a Guide. One should not miss this guide!

I cannot recommend the tour with Arif enough. First, he coordinated the trip at the last minute given some of the changing circumstances that we had, and was more than accommodating to make the trip exactly what we wanted. The driver was on-time in a clean car to take us to Agra. When we got to Agra, I had a 1:1 guided tour where Arif should me all of the best spots, including a great lunch, and provided a great overview. He also served as a great photographer and made sure to get great pictures in all of the best spots. He also helped negotiate to get awesome souvenirs. He knew how to maneuver all of the craziness that can come with visiting the Taj to create a memorable and enjoyable experience. At the end of the trip, he become a friend and I would contact him to schedule and do any other tour for me when I return to India. He made a solo trip safe and enjoyable! Again, great experience!

Writing this review on behalf of my Mom. A trip that was simply born of a desire to get away from the boredom at home turned out to be an uncommonly memorable experience for her. When she returned, she could not stop talking about how wonderful her experience was. (Which is interesting because she has been to Agra before and seen pretty much everything) This could not have been possible without Arif ji's knowledge, experience and guidance. I want to thank Arif ji for going above and beyond to make her trip one that she will cherish for ever!

While traveling from Shimla to Agra, we did not have any specific tour plan. All we had was a departure date, uncertainty, and, albeit, desire to enjoy, experience, and become in tune with the spirit of the place. Luckily, we connected with Arif Bhai just the night before reaching Delhi, and everything fell in place. I communicated with him; apart from other considerations, I have a friend exactly with the same name. Eventually, Arif Bhai became a friend for us, uncle to my son. We traveled with him/under his arrangement in Agra, Jaipur, and Delhi. He is a gifted storyteller. His delivery is well researched and densely informative.   So if anyone wants to hear the subtle ancient music of India, stay tuned with Arif Bhai.

Arif's knowledge of the history of the Taj, from both the perspective of the buildings themselves, and the people who built them, was astounding. He fielded every question, and even guided/prompted us to ask the ones we didn't. Arif is a true storyteller, and I couldn't be more grateful that he took us on this tour.

We used Walks by Arif to see the Taj Mahal the fortress and the mini Taj. His company is extremely professional and follow up is on point. The arrangements before the tour were outstanding and communication was quick and precise. we flew into Deli and right outside of baggage claim our driver was waiting with great communication. As we prepared for a drive to Agra we were presented with flowers and great photograph was taken for us . the drive to Agra was fine. The driver spoke good English , and asked when we wanted to stop for food and bathroom breaks. we were dropped off at our hotel with another follow-up call came to confirm the plans for the next day. Arif met us outside the hotel , walked us To the entrence and got us waters and shoe covers. The tour was outstanding he is an excellent tour guide and knows EXACTLY where to stand and take the best pictures, with proper reflections and lighting . during the tour he also gives you just the right amount of information and also lets you enjoy the peace and serenity of the Taj Mahal. He is also a excellent photographer!!! we also visited the fortress and he knew where all the optical Illusions were and all great information about the history of the fortress. following the tour the ride back was the same and the driver dropped us off at the hotel in Delhi I cannot say enough good things on how Arif Enhanced our visit to Agra. thank you so much , great experience!!!

Arif was very helpful in arranging and putting together an amazing plan for our Rajasthan, Delhi and Agra tour. We are a family of 5 and he appropriately suggested a Tempo Traveller that seated us comfortably throughout our journey. He also arranged tickets to see the Taj Mahal by moonlight as that option was available the day of our visit. The visit to see Mehtab Baug and the Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah was a highlight after seeing the Taj Mahal in its full glory at dawn the next day. We also had Arif take us for a Food Walk to sample the local food (at an additional cost) but the 3 course meals were totally awesome starting with a variety of chaat, followed by a main course and finishing with dessert. Highly recommend Arif and his company for sightseeing packages in the areas of Agra, Rajasthan and Delhi.

We enjoyed a 4 day tour with our friends, visiting the Taj Mahal at dusk & dawn, Agra fort, Baby Taj and Sikandra in Agra. Arif really bought the places to life with interesting facts, which kept even the children interested! The company thought of everything from good hotels, to a comfortable air conditioned vehicle with plenty of water and snacks. Day 4 involved a long drive to Jaipur, but we stopped at 2 very interesting sites: Fatehpur Sikri & Abhaneri, which broke up the journey and kept us all entertained. Arif went above and beyond what was expected taking amazing photos, helping out with any issues and answering all our questions. I would highly recommend his company for any future trips.

I highly recommend using Walks by Arif for a guided tour of Agra. Arif impressed me from the beginning with his attention to detail and the tour was well organized through to the end. He even took the time to personally meet us in Agra at our guest house. A driver picked us up on time from our hotel in Delhi in a clean comfortable SUV for the drive to Agra. Our private guide, Atiq Akhtar, was outstanding. Atiq is very knowledgeable about his city and was enthusiastic to share it with us. He also took wonderful artsy photos, which was a nice bonus.

Very very happy! Thanks to Walks by Arif we were able to enjoy our 4 days/ 3 night customised tour to Delhi Agra and Jaipur. Arif is an excellent guide and his knowledge of the areas is without a doubt possibly the best. I had found Walks by Arif when we decided to do the Golden Triangle trip as we were going to south India. Contacted Arif and explained that we have a limited time slot and would like to discuss our options to possibly do the tour. Arif is very professional and explained to me some options and even suggested the best way to do the tour given the time available. we discussed and settled on a tour with hotel accommodations and one driver for the entire journey from Delhi to Jaipur. Arrived in Delhi and departed from Jaipur. this helped with timing and made the tour a lot easier. The tour was excellently planned by Arif and with a great Driver who accompanied us throughout the trip. Travelling with a young child we felt safe to be received promptly at the airport and with Arif as our guide- he prepares you for the site tour and things to expect (Street sellers, beggars) so you are well prepared and can make your own decision. Every site visit was well explained and felt complete at the end of the tour. I would highly recommend Arif and Walks by Arif to anyone wanting to do a tour with honest and reliable guides. Looking forward to being back to do another tour with them. Walks by Arif takes excellent care of its guest as the guest are the main priority - provided cold free water bottles and wifi throughout the trip. they will not take you around to shops to get commissions and will guide you on the best place to shop ( if you have something in mind to buy, discuss it with them and they can lead to good places) Thank you Arif for making our North Indian Golden Triangle Trip so memorable.

We had a truly perfect weekend in Agra led by Arif with colleagues. Everything worked out as scheduled from pick-up Friday evening at Delhi airport to drop-off Sunday afternoon. In between that vist to Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. The visit to Taj Mahal is a memory for life! An impressive building in itself, but the added value delivered by Arif and his knowledge made it so much more interesting. Arif is very knowlegeable and furthermore a very pleasant person. Simply a very professional guide! We highly recommend others to follow our example!

A very professional guide with nice attitude and rich historical background! He guided us in Taj Mahal and Agra Fort and perfectly managed a heterogeneous group in the huge crowd

Our group was lucky to spend 2 days in Agra with Arif. In addition to the Taj, we toured the Agra Fort and a local shoe factory. In addition to being very knowledgeable and introducing the unique history of Agra in a way that is relatable, Arif is exceptionally kind and caring. He not only brought the sites of Agra to life for us, he helped us with medical care and a many other logistical things for our time in Agra. Our group had many diverse needs, and he was able to help everyone of us, all with a smile on his face. If you go to Agra, make sure to schedule a tour with Arif. He is a gem.

Incredible experience in Delhi with our fantastic guide Faez. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We have visited all the stunning sights in Delhi. We can highly recommend it."

The contact of Mr. I received Arif from a friend who had already booked a day in Agra with her students. The contact was very friendly and pleasant from the beginning. Whether by mail or Whatsapp, we have always received immediate feedback or updates. We have been picked up at Delhi airport in a large van. Despite some problems (a forgotten suitcase, gastrointestinal tract and a change of plans by a colleague), Mr. Arif very helpful and had full understanding of our situations. In the end, we were able to start with one less person to Agra. The care was absolutely awesome throughout the entire time. What we particularly liked was that our program was very flexible. The tours on site were exciting, Mr. Arif has brought all his knowledge to us in a very charming way. Our excursion has included the view of the Taj Mahal of Mehtab Bagh, the Red Fort, Sikandra and the Baby Taj. Apart from that, Mr. Arif also from which angle you can take the best and most beautiful pictures. So we came home with a ton of beautiful photos. We could experience a lot through this day, but also learn. I would highly recommend the contact to anyone. We will definitely come back and look forward to seeing you again with Mr. Arif can plan another tour.
