Brilliant Day with a Brilliant Guide - Tushar Sharma was the perfect guide on our one day tour of Agra. He made our tour thoroughly enjoyable for our adult family of four. I highly recommend this tour guide, in fact he was flawless. His knowledge matched his respectful and genuine approach to the tour. He made the tour flow seamlessly so we knew how to the beat the queues, accommodated our timing so we could stop for meal breaks, made great suggestions on restaurants and his knowledge of the Taj and Agra Fort was terrific. A truly hassle free day, exactly what we wished for, for a once in a lifetime experience. We can not Thank you enough Tushar. Kind regards The Templeman Family Australia

Best tour guide for Agra - If you're planning a visit to Agra and want more than just a rushed, cookie-cutter tourist experience—then having the right guide can make all the difference. And this is exactly where Tushar Sharma shines. He’s not just good—he’s outstanding. We visited Agra on March 3rd and had the privilege of having Tushar as our guide, thanks to a glowing recommendation from the tour company organizing our Delhi-Agra trip. From the moment we finalized our plans, Tushar reached out via WhatsApp to introduce himself and coordinate the details. That early communication already showed how organized and thoughtful he is. The morning of our trip, Tushar sent a detailed message with clear instructions on where to meet—complete with a photo of the parking lot, the exact address, and even a live location pin. He also shared a copy of his ID and a recent picture so we could easily recognize him. It made the logistics seamless—we just forwarded everything to our driver, and locating him was effortless. Now, here’s where things really started to stand out. Tushar is fluent in English (and maybe even more languages—worth asking!), which was perfect for our group, as most of my group were non Indians. Communication was smooth, and every single person in our group felt included and comfortable throughout the day. Despite arriving in Agra about two hours later than planned (thanks to some unavoidable delays), Tushar didn’t let that affect our experience. He didn’t rush us, didn’t skip any sites, and didn’t use the delay as an excuse to cut corners. Instead, he adapted the plan on the fly, ensuring we still got to see everything on our itinerary—without feeling hurried or pressured. He expertly guided us through both the Taj Mahal and the Agra Fort, using less crowded entrances that saved us valuable time—at both sites, we waited no more than 5 to 7 minutes to get in. Not once did he try to push us toward tourist traps or overpriced souvenir shops, which sadly is common with many guides. He stayed focused on us and our experience, tailoring the tour to our pace and interests. His knowledge of Agra’s history is impressive, but what truly makes it special is the way he shares it—through engaging stories that even our 10-year-old found captivating. It wasn’t just a list of dates and facts—it was storytelling that brought the monuments to life. And then there’s his local savvy. With limited time left in the day, he realized that trying to navigate Agra in our 40-seater bus would eat up precious time. So he came up with a brilliant workaround: for a small additional cost (about $30–$40 total), he arranged three tuk-tuks (auto rickshaws) so we could zip through the city and reach more sites in minutes instead of wasting an hour in traffic. Thanks to that call, we were able to explore additional monuments that we otherwise would’ve had to skip. He also gave us great local recommendations—like Salt Café, which turned out to be an excellent spot for lunch. In short, Tushar truly cares. He’s not just doing a job; he’s curating a memorable experience. He listens, adapts, solves problems, and ensures that your time in Agra is smooth, meaningful, and stress-free. His warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail make him more than just a tour guide—he’s a partner in your travel experience. If you’re heading to Agra and want to avoid the crowds, the chaos, and the tourist traps—and instead want a relaxed, personalized, and enriching experience—Tushar is the guide to go with. I can’t recommend him enough.

Amazing Golden Triangle Tour! - Amazing experience with this company. Top notch communication and pricing. Our driver, Naval, was an expert and he coordinated our visits and various sights with local guides. The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. Our favorite spot was the Taj Mahal, but enjoyed learning about all of the other locations. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

Visit to the Taj Mahal - Tushar was a perfect guide: he speaks very good English and tells many details of the history of the works. He accompanied me to visit the Taj Mahal and it was a visit full of information, just as I felt I had in him a support and a point of reference, should I need it.

Good & affordable tour guide in Agra! - The tour guide is excellent and affordable! They helped us in customizing a day tour around Agra city, showed local markets and food and even arranged a private car for the day. We toured in the month of March, which is not too crowded. We had plenty time to explore around, listen to information and take pictures. I would recommend this guide to anyone looking for a decent, informed and affordable tour guide in Agra!
