Vinny’s the best! - Vinny was a delight. He took the time to get lots of lovely photos whilst being friendly and knowledgable. Nice to see the taj with rain

Taj Mahal & Agra tour - Vinny was a great tour guide. Would highly recommend going to Taj Mahal & any Agra tours with him. Shashank was also a great driver.

Taj tour - Vinny is the best guide You took a nice picture and you take care of my kids I love her, I love, recommend him for the Taj Mahal to tour

Amazing! - The tour Vinny took us on was wonderful and well thought out. He was very knowledgeable and also had the best photography tips so that we could capture our memories beautifully. I definitely recommend!

Amazing day at the Taj Mahal! - Viny did an amazing job. He was super friendly and took amazing pictures of us! I will certainly recommend his services to my friends and colleagues.

Loved this tour!!! - My tour guide and driver were incredible! They were Attentive and informative. Knowledgeable with the history of the Taj Mahal and helpful with taking the best pictures of me, Taj Mahal and the Fort

Great views and great company - We went to the Taj Mahal at 6 am with our guide Imran and were not disappointed. We got to see the Taj Mahal with a beautiful sunrise and Imran was prepared for it, not only did he make the tour enjoyable and full of insights, but he also took great pictures of us. Fully recommend it!

Great Guide - I had the privilege of experiencing the Taj Mahal with a knowledgeable guide Imran from Agra. Their expertise brought the monument's history and architecture to life, enriching my visit in ways I couldn't have imagined. Their passion for the Taj Mahal was contagious, making it an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!"

Flexible - Kozy and Ashish were so flexible with us after our train to Agra was delayed! They waited for us, and we drove around in a nice, comfortable sedan. Kozy also helped us navigate the many vendors that approached us at the Taj, and even helped us get digital photos from the photographers. The convenience from this tour was worth it.

Enjoy Agra and the Taj in comfort. - I recommend everyone coming to visit Taj and agra to have a driver and a guide. The sites have large crowds who can be pushy. Having guides/driver allows you to enjoy the experience and not stress over the crowds and scams. Shout of to Ashish and cozy for your help. Tldr: - recommend driver and guide for comfort - The guide shows nice vantage points at the Taj and a great sunset view. - The guide will take you to see local shops to help boost the local economy. - all local foreign friendly restaurants and shops are priced high. You must negotiate at these shops. Haggling is part of the local culture. The driver picked us up from the train station and helped us with our bags. We rode in comfort in a larger vehicle by India standards. It had the bells and whistles. Shout out to Ashish for getting us from point a to point b in great comfort. The tour and guide. I have mixed feelings, but essentially I think I personally needed a guide to navigate the crowds, find the best lines and find the best spots at the Taj Mahal for photos and views. Our guide led us to some hidden spots for great photos. Very knowledgeable. After the Taj, this is where the tour structure is in your guide's hands. Based on your requests he can take you to eat at a restaurant or explore shops in Agra to see the local arts. Either way your guide /driver wins. From what I saw all the stores and restaurants rely on tour guides to bring tourists to their shops to help boost the local economy. All the goods are priced high and the tour guide and driver get a percentage of the sales. After all the local stuff the guide gives you an option to see the agra fort or a sunset. The lunch restaurant - He took us to eat lunch. The Indian restaurant (Khan sahab MUTTON 199) is was western foreign friendly. The food wasn't the best but it was clean. The chai was the most underwhelming I've had in India. However the entrees were good. The chef special mutton stew was delicious. Price was fb higher. The local arts shops - after lunch we walked across the street to mughal Carpet shop. They will give you a demonstration about how Persian rugs are made, how it's special, quality etc. They lead you to the show you get you comfortable and offer you drinks while then you're at the mercy of listening to their sales pitch. Showing you their beautiful carpets. Then you're put in a position to purchase an expensive rug. It's uncomfortable but this is how the local economy makes some money. You have to negotiate. I was able to haggle my 400 USD rug to 250 USD and I feel I could have pushed harder for a better deal. Trick is to act like you're done negotiating and want to walk away. They will say what's your offer. Remember they prefer cash over card. You'll be taken to a marble crafts shop where the same sales thing will happen. Tour ended with a great sunset view spot across the river from The Taj Mahal.
