Fantastic day in Agra. - Very straight forward booking process. Raj our guide was absolutely amazing. His knowledge, sense of humour and photography skills were first class. Raj looked after me when I had a very minor health issue. We felt so well looked after. Devinda, our driver was also excellent and stored water and treats for us. We felt very safe in his care. Lunch was lovely too. We would very much recommend this tour operator and Raj.

A truly memorable experience - We had a wonderful tour of Agra and Fatehpur Sikri. Our tour guide was Rishi, and the driver was Sanju. The entire trip was planned meticulously, and we had a truly hassle-free experience. Rishi was passionate about explaining the monuments' history and architecture. Sanju was always on time and made us feel safe throughout the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Agra.

Brilliant guide - As part of our holiday we arrived in agra and were accompanied to Agra fort, the Awesome Taj Mahal and Fatephur Sikri. He was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. The tours were fascinating and full of little details that without a guide one might have missed. He knows all the best spots for your photo opportunities and is efficient but never rushing. I recommend Rishi to you and thank him for a memorable visit

Personality, knowledge & charm in Agra - What can we say about rishi pal! My family and I visited Fathepur Sikri & Agra on a family trip and had the most fantastic time with rishi! We've had a number of guides throughout our time in India, but rishi's personality and sense of humour was the best of the bunch. We were very well looked after throughout, no wish of ours was ever a problem and his knowledge of the area was second to none (and his magic tricks!). Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area, he's an absolute legend! Thanks Rishi!
