The tour was excellent. Taj Mahal is absolutely stunning. Now I know why everyone says I must visit this place. Mudi is an excellent photographer as well! If you’re lucky have him as your guide, he takes beautiful pictures of you and the beautiful Taj Mahal! That would be worth remembering!! The driver Jitu did a fantastic job route, very professional and navigate the traffic really well. He is also very patient and flexible. All in all amazing tour. Highly recommended.

Incredible adventure in India, touring the golden triangle with Varanasi, ideal tour for those who want to live an experience of approach to the culture and history of India, incredible places and monuments in the midst of lush vegetation, the food is delicious and the tour between cities with good music of the subcontinent generates an atmosphere for those who are looking for different but very enriching destinations.

It couldn’t have been easier! I was travelling alone and cared for at every step. Everything was taken care of so that my day was stress free! I loved that they took my picture once they seated me on the train so my guide was at the Agra station waiting for me. Mohsin was not only an informed guide, he was an excellent photographer and because of him I have beautiful photos. I would highly recommend this tour.

Activity was so much fun! Had an amazing guide who showed us all the best sites. Would recommend to everyone - so much fun!

Everything was good! We really enjoyed the tour and our tour guide Ahamed :)
