Great tour guide We had a great tour of Agra with Riyaz. Started by visiting Taj Mahal explaining everything about the history and workmanship of this beautiful place and in the evening he showed us baby Taj Mahal. Riyaz is great at taking photos and knows the best spots. He also helped us arrange transfer to Jaipur and a tour there. Excellent guide and he goes above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and taken care of

It’s been a lovely, private tour! We stayed in Delhi and the three of us used it. Both the pick-up car from Delhi and the one from Agra were beautiful and comfortable.I was very happy to be able to move around privately.Also, the guide was very good at photography, and I was most impressed by how many wonderful photos he took.The explanations of the places of interest were also interesting and I found them very satisfying and reasonable ????They will also take you to the famous craft shops in Agra.Lunch at the Hilton was delicious and very satisfying! Thank you very much.

A Must-Have Guide for the Taj Mahal and Agra’s Iconic Spots Riz was an exceptional tour guide in Agra. He guided us through the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and the Baby Taj with incredible knowledge, sharing fascinating facts and pointing out niche details and viewpoints we never would have noticed on our own. His insight really deepened our appreciation of each site. Highly recommend Riz to anyone visiting Agra!
