Great bike tours! - Great value for money…
Great tour of the countryside around Agra with very special views of the Taj Mahal.
The tour was very relaxed without honking taxi’s or Tuk tuk’s.
John is a great guy who really loves his job.
He also gave us some very useful tips on how to handle things in India.
Thanks John we really enjoyed it!

Such a great experience as a solo traveler with Moses! - Moses was such a great guide. We explored some really interesting parts of Agra that I would never have seen on my own. He was really knowledgable and friendly and was great company as a solo traveler. We visited the more rural areas, being introduced to a local family, tasting fresh bread in their home, stunning views of Taj Mahal from a different location. The following day we explored the hustle and bustle of a spice market, an ancient temple and tasted local cuisine for dinner. I will get in touch with Moses when I am next back in India for sure!

Absolutely recommended, Agra off the beaten tracks! - John designed a special tour for me as it was not my first time in Agra. First he took my on a bike tour in the countryside around Taj to experience real rural life. It was amazing! Later we went to the Old Cithy beyond the Fort for an immersive tour around spice shops, ayurvedic practices and marble shops. John is a passionate guide with hospitality in his DNA. I strongly recommend you a bike tour with him and his brother Moses. Well done guys! Thank you for a great time together!

Must do activity when you’re in Agra! - Exceptional tour hosted by Moses. He was so knowledgable, respectful and helpful. It was a very hot day so we opted for a tuk tuk, not a bicycle which was wonderful. Must do activity when you’re in Agra!

Amazing experience - a highlight of our 2 week India trip - After reading the reviews, we knew this would be the perfect trip for us, and decided to book up before leaving the UK. Agra was our first stop on our mini tour of India, and I had booked a 3 night stay to ensure we had plenty of time to see everything. That turned out to be a great decision!
We went to find Agra by Bike on our arrival in Agra and were invited to drink chai with John. We decided to reschedule the bike tour as the forecast was rain, and John kindly arranged a tuk tuk driver to show us the Baby Taj and Agra Fort on the drizzly day so we had plenty to see and do. We really enjoyed both, well worth an extra day in Agra.
The following day we got up early for the Taj, then did the bike ride with Moses in the afternoon. It ended up just being the three of us which was fantastic. We rode into the village and interacted with local families on a really personal level, being invited into their homes, making chapatis and learning about family life in rural India. At sunset, we went to a stunning vantage point for amazing views of the Taj, far better (for me as a photographer at least) than the views from inside the Taj grounds. Moses took some lovely photos of us, which was much appreciated as we never have any of us together!
This tour was the absolute highlight of our travels around India, not only because we got to experience the real India, but because of John and Moses' exceptional hospitality and knowledge. We felt as if we were their guests rather than tourists - they honestly couldn't do enough to ensure our Agra trip was absolutely perfect.

see real India tour with amazing secret sunset of Taj Mahal - It would be better entitled "See Real India" because this is the only way I know of to interact with the villagers who make up the overwhelming majority of the population. Overwhelmingly friendly, smiling and helpful it was a priveledge to be part of their lives. Though it is expensive for what it is, I hope and trust that almost all the money for the tour is diverted to these same villagers.
What made the experience unforgettable was the secret viewpoint for sunset of the Taj Mahal -that was totally amazing and unforgettable.

Cool escape - I made a last minute decision to join the afternoon bike ride as I wasn't in the mood for Agra Fort after an early start for sunrise at the Taj Mahal (I went to Agra Fort the next day and it was amazing by the way!).
I'm really glad I did - it was a lovely respite from the constant hassle with an amazing view of the Taj and a pleasant cycle to a local home where they made us chapati. It was also great to meet and chat with Moses, who is a genuine, warm and knowledgable guy.
One thing to note is that it's not a very long cycle, so may not suit those looking for a more energetic outing, but I'd still recommend it if you have time while in Agra.

Great Experience - John was a great guide. Even when I had a flat tire, he made very quick arrangements to get it fixed and we were on our way. We loved riding through the villages, stopping to get a backside view of the Taj. Would highly recommend John!

No tour - On this site tour tomorrow was offered on specific date. And could be booked and paid. Organisation quickly responded there was no tour on set date. Payment was returned instantly. Would have been better if tour wasn’t offered.
