        Great tour, great guide, the perfect insight to Delhi, Old and New!
        Vinay has been an amazing tour guide and shown us some of the most beautiful sights in Delhi. The tour has been enlightening and we have felt safe and looked after the entire way. After being introduced to some local wares, we have come away with some stunning art, gifts, teas and spices. Car was very clean and extremely cool which is greatly appreciated in the heat. Thanks everyone for making this day memorable.

        Fantastic experience. Our guide, Nawin, was so knowledgeable and friendly. The tour itself was thrilling: started out with several historical sights, had a good, inexpensive lunch, then finished with a rickshaw ride through old Delhi that was riveting. Highly recommended!.

      It is my husband and I’s first time in India so obviously we had to take a trip to Agra to see the Taj Mahal. We booked a tour through Pioneer Holidays and our tour guide was Adil. All in all, this private tour exceeded our expectations!

      We were picked up from our hotel right on the dot and then taken to the train station and personally put on the train. This was very helpful as there is no way we could’ve navigated the busy train station alone. The train ride was on time and seamless and they fed us on the way.

      Once we got to Agra, the driver (Bobby) picked us up and took us to Adil, who was our tour guide for the whole day. Adil was everything you could want in a tour guide! He gave us a true VIP experience. He took us to the Taj Mahal first where he gave us a ton of facts and took some great pictures of us too. He then took us to eat at a local Indian restaurant which was exactly what we were looking for. We then went to Agra Fort where Adil again, gave us a ton of great history and facts.

      Towards the end of the tour, Adil gave us options of what we would like to do. Whether we wanted to do more sightseeing or do some shopping. He wasn’t pushy at all and truly wanted to know our interests. We opted to do some shopping and got some great pieces of embroidery and marble souvenirs.

      I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a truly personalized experience and would recommend Adil as your tour guide!

      We had such a great time - thank you so much!

      I had a wonderful experience with Adil Khan and our driver G2 in touring the tomb of Taj Mahal, the impressive Agra Fort, and various sites throughout Agra. Adil is very attentive to your interests and needs and very knowledgeable about his city. There was not a fact too minute for Adil to know off the top of his head! He also spoke fluent Japanese. Adil was very responsive to my interests and customized the tour accordingly. He's clearly very passionate about his hometown!

      The express train from H. Nizamuddin is the quickest and safest way to get from the capital to Agra. The trip will generally take about 90-110 minutes, much faster than car or bus and much more comfortable.

      The Taj Mahal itself is much larger than I had imagined, and much more colorful up close. This tour will let you skip the long lines at each entrance so you can maximize your time in Agra. Adil will point out all the interesting points while weaving together a very endearing and tragic story behind the tomb's construction.

      The Agra Fort is also impressive! Similar in appearance to the Red Fort in Delhi externally, the Agra Fort (also known as the Red Fort) is more compact and better preserved. It also appears to be more practical from a military perspective and is still in active use by the Indian military. Once again Adil shows his mastery of history, which was impressive given that the fortress had undergone quite a few different iterations under various Mughal rulers with very distinct tastes.

      Due to the worsening weather and traffic, we were unable to see the Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah (a.k.a. "Baby Taj") except from a distance, but Adil and G2 were very obliging in stopping at a good vantage point across the river to explain its history and unique characteristics.

      The lunch was a buffet offering a wide variety of options for those who, like me, could eat Indian food all day and those who might want more familiar fare.

      I highly recommend this tour as a convenient way to ensure that you see the highlights of Agra in a day trip from Delhi. And make sure to ask for Adil, especially for Japanese speakers!

      This tour was the most efficiently run excursion I experienced while in India for 4 weeks. From the confirmation via WhatsApp (with exact timing for pick up from my hotel) to the drop off, this tour was fun and low stress.
      Special call outs to Faiz (driver) who maneuvered the traffic during Republic Day in Delhi and Salman who was friendly, punctual, and safe during all the drop offs and pick ups in Agra.
      I was fortunate to have Shaan as my guide for the Agra sights and he balanced the information provided (story, history, and architecture) with sufficient photo time too. He also knew the best ways to save on queue waiting times and while I visited everything on on a holiday weekend, we were never really overwhelmed with crowds. Plus Shawn’s energy was fun!
      Shopping was added but I never felt pressure to buy anything but I ended up doing so based on the uniqueness of the arts and value at the two places he took me to.
      This was my 4th trip to the Taj and definitely if I were to do a 5th or recommend an option to my friends, this would be the tour!

      This tour exceeded all my expectations. It was exceptionally well-organised, with no delays, a fantastic guide, and excellent communication from the organisers.

      Before booking, I always read negative reviews, and I was impressed by how well the organisers had addressed past feedback, particularly regarding photographers and visits to local shops. The night before the tour, I received a WhatsApp message with clear guidance on handling hawkers and photographers. Additionally, the guide provided great support in declining their offers.

      The photos taken by the guide were outstanding, and the information shared at each tourist spot was spot on. At the end of the tour, during the shop visits, I never felt pressured to buy anything and was consistently reassured by the guide that purchasing was optional.

      Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend this tour.

      My visit to the Taj Mahal was truly an unforgettable experience, thanks to the exceptional service and insights provided by my guide, Zohaib Mairaj. From the moment he picked me up at the train station to the time he dropped me off, everything was seamless and well-organized.

      Zohaib’s deep knowledge of the history, architecture, and cultural significance of the Taj Mahal added a whole new dimension to my visit. He shared fascinating stories and little-known facts that made me appreciate this wonder even more. His passion for history and attention to detail were evident throughout the tour.

      Beyond being an excellent guide, Zohaib was courteous, professional, and always ensured my comfort. He even helped with photography, capturing some truly memorable moments.

      I highly recommend Zohaib Mairaj to anyone planning a visit to the Taj Mahal. His expertise and friendly approach make for an enriching and enjoyable experience.

      Thank you, Zohaib & Faizan Ali for making my trip so special!

      We had an amazing tour guide, Harsh, who was very knowledgeable and efficient with his planned routes throughout the Taj Mahal. We learned so much and had a lot of fun. Harsh is also very good at taking photos!

      We enjoyed a quick stop at Agra Marble Emporium where we got to see the artisans at work and they gave a good sales pitch to buy their beautiful works of art. We were able to pay by card and they shipped us our table we bought. The prices were comparable to other hand crafted works of art and we're of very high quality.

      Overall a great experience, will be coming back to India some day and will tour with them again!

      My boyfriend and I took a full day tour with our guide Ali zaif and driver kapil. Both were absolutely incredible. Ali is extremely knowledgeable and took amazing pictures of us in each location

      Kapil expertly navigated the Agra traffic and we always felt very safe with both of them.

      Would highly recommend 😊

      Amazing tour! Do yourself a favor and book it now and request Nabeel as the guide. He was so enthusiastic, gave the right amount of detail and got us through very crowded areas making sure we were safe. Unbelievable experience! Salman was our driver for the day and he was also great, driving carefully and even looking after our things/souvenirs we left in the car as we toured the sites.

      What an amazing experience! We booked a full day tour and were fortunate to be matched up with the friendly and talented Shakir as our tour guide. We spent the early morning at the Taj Mahal where Shakir knew where to take the best photos before the crowds arrived. He then told the moving story behind the Taj and guided us inside the mausoleum. After breakfast back at the hotel, we set out again, this time to see a marble inlay production, the Agra Fort and the ”Baby Taj.” Shakir was very knowledgeable about the history of the buildings and was able to bring the stories to life in an incredible way.

      Although I was the only one who booked that day, the day tour still took place. The guide Adil Khan was very accommodating and always eager to live up to my wishes, together with the driver Salman Khan. The tour was relaxed and because I got a private tour, they both took a lot of time for me. The tour is highly recommended because you don't have to worry about anything, even if you plan the tour alone, it would certainly be cheaper.
