I was together with a friend (2 white girls) in front of the gate when we were trying to find a guide for Taj Mahal and we met Ashish. In the end we end up being a small private group, which was really nice. Ashish gave us a lot of information about the history and architecture of the place, guide us through the place excellently. His English is very good, so I had no problems understanding him even when he talked about more difficult things (and I had this problem with another guide later). What important, he didn't insist on shopping afterwords as many guides do, but when we asked about it he helped us with the shop.

We had a great experience with Asish as our Taj Mahal guide! He was very friendly, informative, and easy to understand. A huge bonus was that he took some excellent photos of us, capturing memories we’ll be able to look back on. He also gave us plenty of time to explore on our own, so we never felt rushed. A great balance of learning about the history and having time to enjoy this incredible place at our own pace. Highly recommend!
Very interesting tour and wonderful experience. Ashish was very knowledgeable and explained the history very well.
Seeing the Taj Mahal was amazing. Very nice to have personal pick up and stations can be confusing. Guide is very good at giving information. Would definitely book with Aashish and Sonu again ☺️

Very good experience. Price is very fair en very good actually. He knows everything about it. Quick thinker.
Excellent experience, No rush at all, took the time to explain all our questions! would recommend.
Ashish is a knowledgeable and kind guide. He planned our visits to both the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort with thoughtfulness and intention. I learned much about the history of these places and he was a joy to speak with more generally about India, Agra, architecture, and life in general. I would highly recommend Ashish as a guide — he is well-connected with other local merchants, restaurants, and drivers and can provide trustworthy advice for foreigners and locals alike. Thank you, Ashish. I hope to see you again soon.
Thank you for the wonderful experiente of discovering Taj Mahal and it's history.
Very happy, was organised by my Tuktuk driver. Very knowledgeable making my visit to the Taj Mahal amazing
Ashish was great! Friendly and willing to match my pace — made good suggestions and clearly knew his stuff. I would have missed a ton of details without him, from intricate carvings to historical context. Well worth the time and money and made my stop in Agra so much easier and richer! Whole trip lasted around 4 hours.
Fantastic tour. Ashish was incredibly knowledgeable. Very friendly and invested in sharing the stories of Agra fort and Taj Mahal. Definitely book a tour with him. We had a great time in Agra with this tour.
Ashish was wonderful and very knowledgeable. He was prompt and timely to pick us up and also for sunrise visit. He explained wonderful facts about Agra for and Taj Mahal. He was very kind and professional. We would highly recommend Ashish as a guide.
Very good experience. Ashish is a very good guide who speaks very good and understandable english. You can book him for taj-mahal as well as agra fort or other places. Fr: pour les français qui passent, il est vraiment bien ( il parle que anglais, pas français attention )
Had an amazing experience with this tour! Everything was very well organized from pickup to drop-off. The guide was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and explained the history beautifully, making the visit even more enjoyable. The organizer ensured smooth coordination throughout the trip and was very supportive and professional. The sunrise view of the Taj Mahal was absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Delhi and Agra with family!
Aashish is very professional and knowledgeable tour guide. I learned so much from him and he’s a great photographer too. I had so much fun and it’s a dream come true. Thank you
I met Ashish Gupta through my auto-rickshaw driver. He gave me a great tour of the Taj Mehal and the Agra Fort. Ashish has deep knowledge of history and the local area. He explained many details of the Taj Mehal and the fort and really brought my visit to life.
The guide was very good, he had a lot knowledge about the place, everything was absolutely amazing!

Aashish very good guide. Friendly guide super nice answer questions of any
The guide was good. He showed the full taj mahal, helped us getting the tickets and every other things inside the place. Also, the explanation was good. He showed us shopping places to shop in Agra and food places to eat as well.
Ashish was an excellent tour guide. Very informative and took us to the best spots of the Taj Mahal.
Ashish was a great tourguide. Very nice and knew a lot about the places. He also kindly took a lot of pictures of us at the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. We learned a lot and truly enjoyed the tour. Would recommend!
Amazing tour, beautiful, interesting and an amazing guide - friendly with a lot of knowledge Went to agra fort and taj mahal Really recommend!
Ashish was an amazing guide. We first went to Taj Mahal to get a great view and pictures, then he took me to the baby Taj and he explained the history there. Then we went to this incredible marble art making place, and lastly we went to agra fort. It was well worth the money and trip. 10/10 would see again. He was very knowledgeable about all history in each of the sites: it felt like a personal National Geographic guide!!
Amazing tour with our guide, he was very knowledgeable about the Taj Mahal. He was also a very good photographer and knew all the good spots to go. We got in early and thanks to him didn’t have to wait very long in lines.
We had an absolutely incredible day visiting the Taj Mahal, and a huge part of that was thanks to our wonderful guide, Ashish. From the moment we met him, he was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He brought the history of the Taj Mahal to life with his storytelling, answered all of our questions with ease, and helped us navigate the crowds effortlessly. Ashish also knew all the best photo spots and took beautiful pictures of us that we’ll treasure forever. He was patient, kind, and truly made the day feel special. If you’re planning a visit to the Taj Mahal, I highly recommend asking for Ashish you won’t regret it! — Carmelo
Ashish is a great guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. I enjoyed with him my visit to Taj Mahal. I truly recommend him as a guide and thanks a lot! Rafa!
Ashish was a wonderful guide and a wealth of information. He was very attentive to our questions and needs which made the experience very enjoyable. You will not regret taking this tour!
The guide was helpful to know which was our queue and stuff, which made the whole entry situation less overwhelming. He also took good pictures. At moments it was hard to hear him, or he didn't wait for all of us to reach him to explain. Other than that, good tour.
It's a great experience, the guide narated the history of taj & Agra port very well, Also helped us in exploring the places easy and in very comfortable manner...Thanks
Excellent guide, very expert and kind, nice suggestions for pictures! He showed us Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, helping us to deeply understand the history and the culture. Very good English language. Highly recommended!
Taj Mahal was gorgeous, much more complex than I initially thought. Great experience! Aashish Gupta was a great guide, very informative.
Lots of good facts, efficient at getting thru lines quickly and having tickets. Ashish took amazing photos for me! I particularly enjoyed learning about the engineering, architecture and stories behind these spectacular places
Brilliant tour, very detailed information and knowledge on just about anything rating to the taj and how it came to be. Also a 10/10 photographer.
Ashish gave us a fantastic tour! He was knowledgeable, passionate, and made the experience both insightful and enjoyable. His English was clear and fluent, highly recommend
Aashish was an incredible guide in Agra. He shared fascinating insights and knew all the best strategies to time our visits perfectly, helping us avoid long queues. He even went out of his way to assist me in getting change and helped our driver when we had a flat tire. Highly recommended!
Wonderful and informative tour with Ashish. Very knowledgeable and flexible for whatever we were interested in learning!
Excellent guide experienced and friendly. Met a good guy in delhi. Nice to meet and see you again. Thank you so much have a joice day
Ashish was an excellent guide as he was extremely knowledgeable about all things Taj Mahal. He also knew precisely how to place us for entry, walking in the lines, showing us what to look at and explaining why and during exciting. He saved us time and made our visit to the Taj Mahal well worth the small expense of having our own personal tour guide go with us. He speaks and understands English very well and just knows so much also about Agra and surrounding towns and cities. We encourage you to give him a call and have a 2 minute chat so that you will agree that he is the right guide for you. You won’t be sorry having him as your trusted guide!
The tour was very well organized, the guide was wonderfully accommodating to all our wishes! He was very knowledgeable on all topics we were interested in and provided stories in great detail on whatever time period we wanted to know more about! When we wanted someone to do henna drawings on us he quickly provided, he stayed beyond the needed time to help us with hotel check in, he was always kind, smiling, thinking of every detail of our trip. The views are spectacular, the architecture is stunning, the people are kind and the whole experience is beyond worth it.
Amazing guide, he speaks English very clearly, unlike some other guides that I've had, does not push you to take you to places that you refuse, he is always working in your interest and listens to all your requests! He accommodates all changes and even finds services that you might. Very good story teller and overall a great person! He is like a gateway to the Indian culture
Amazing guide!! Explains everything about the taj Mahal very specifically and accurately. Answered any questions that we had and spoke very clearly with a smile!
Had an amazing private tour. We went early in the morning which was the best time to arrive and enjoy the monument from different perspectives and lives. Was picked up at my hotel and everything went really smooth!
Ashish checked in with me the day before to make sure I knew where to meet and to answer any questions I may have had. The day of our tour, he came prepared with water and cloth shoe slip-ons for the mausoleum. He was very knowledgeable about the architecture, history, and unique details of the Taj Mahal. Unfortunately, I got sick from something I ate the night before in the middle of our tour, and that's when Ashish was truly wonderful. He took me to first aid, where I could get some meds, and made sure I got back to my hotel safely. The next day, he checked on me, and offered to finish the tour if I liked. I declined, but that night, his wife and him brought me some good health Indian Kitchari and papaya for the belly. Bless his heart. I highly recommend Ashish Gupta to see Agra.
Aashish is a great guide! He majored in History and is very knowledgeable about Arga. He has been a guide for 17 years. He is nice and considerable and made my trip enjoyable and memorable!
We had a wonderful day exploring the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort with Ashish. He arrived promptly, explained the plan for the day ahead and tailored our trip as we wanted to try catch the Taj Mahal at sunrise. He was so knowledgeable and shared just the right amount of interesting facts without overwhelming us. He knew the exact spots to get the best photos and was so generous in sharing his excellent photography skills. Very friendly and gave us time to catch breakfast at our hotel in between locations. Great to meet you Ashish. We would highly recommend!
He was the best photographer and guide. If you are in Agra, book this guide, he’s going to make you feel comfortable all the time!
Great service by Mr. Aashish and I strongly recommend his service to others as well. Certainly I will come to India again and get his service too.
