Traveler reviews
Enjoy India
Very nice and warm and friendly tour with Sadiq !!! Strongly recommend!!!
Mesmerizing tour of Taj Mahal
Driver, Monu, was very prompt and courteous and caring. Our tour guide, Vishal Garg, knows well the history of Taj Mahal and the Baby Taj. It’s an amazing, one-of-a-kind of experience to see the Taj Mahal in real life. The amount of art, love, and hard labor put into building these magnificent palaces are almost unbelievable. I would do this tour again.
Fantastic tour of Taj Mahal
It was a great learnng experience for us, we couldn't have asked for a better guide than Maahi for one of the seven wonders of the world. We heard the entire history of the Taj as of we were watching a movie. We highly recommend the combo of Maahi along with our driver Kuldeep Singh for anyone.
