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

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!

Most Asked Questions by our Guests.

Is one day enough to explore Delhi? +

While one day is a great start to explore both Old and New Delhi, we recommend a longer stay to fully absorb the city’s rich history and vibrant atmosphere. However, our Luxury Delhi City Tour ensures you experience the highlights of the city in a single, well-planned day, without feeling rushed.

How do I avoid "tourist traps" and scams? +

Our Luxury Delhi City Tour is designed to focus strictly on the city’s most famous historical sites. We handpick reputable guides and ensure your experience is authentic, steering clear of commission-based souvenir shops or “shop tours” that some tours may insist on.

What if I visit Delhi on a Monday? Are there closures? +

Some major sites like the Red Fort and Lotus Temple are closed every Monday. However, we plan our tours around these closures and ensure you visit the top attractions that remain open, so you won’t miss out on any key experiences.

When is the best time to visit Old Delhi? +

To truly experience the charm of Old Delhi, we recommend starting your day early—around 8:00 AM. The markets, like the vibrant Chandni Chowk, are less crowded during this time, giving you a more peaceful and enjoyable experience.

Is the tour customizable? +

Yes! We can customize the Luxury Delhi City Tour based on your preferences, whether you want to focus more on historical sites, shopping, or a leisurely experience. Just let us know your interests when booking, and we’ll tailor the tour to suit your needs.
