Most enchanting & endearing tour guide, enriching Taj Mahal’s, in particular, and, Agra’s experience, in general. - Mr.Hussain is unlike any other, he is not just a tour guide, but, is a bundle of wonders… he dishes out a whole new experience of sightseeing a monument, that too a magnitude of Taj Mahan… he doubles up its value quotient, especially, with his network of people who matter in the security & management circle of this monument, making the ease of movement a breeze, giving us that much more time & more space to enhance our experiences, & then, the all too mesmerising ability of his’, with some beautiful inmates of the garden… the squirrels & birds… who listen to him signal & rush from all directions & all over to greet him😊 Indeed, the most endearing sight to behold. Besides these, he is a magician with the phone cameras, gifting us with some of the most cherished photo opportunities. Overall, he is a must, to give a tour of Agra on the whole.
Surely utilising his exemplary services again, in February 2025.

"Exceptional Guide for an Unforgettable Taj Mahal Experience" - We had the pleasure of having Hussain as our tour guide during our visit to the Taj Mahal and its surroundings, and it was an incredible experience. Hussain is exceptionally well-versed in the history and significance of these iconic sites. His knowledge brought the stories of the Taj Mahal to life, making the tour both educational and engaging.
He spoke excellent English, was polite, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the journey. What stood out most was his patience—he took all the time needed to answer our questions and ensure we had the best experience. Additionally, his photographic skills were a delightful bonus, capturing some beautiful memories for us. I have attached two.
If you plan a visit to the Taj Mahal, we highly recommend Hussain. His professionalism and expertise truly elevated our trip, making it unforgettable. Thank you, Hussain!

Excellent customer service with a great smile - Shanu is an amazing tour guide! From the start to finish he gave us personalized attention. He was very knowledgeable, never intrusive, respectful of our wishes, offering great suggestions, arranging above and beyond Taj Mahal photo shoots from the front as well as rare night sightings from the back where special military permission is required, and he procured that for us. He patiently waited for me to do costume changes as I didn’t want to be photographed in these iconic places with only 1 outfit. He even took me to a very reputed beauty parlor at my insistence, graciously extending his time and effort. He took us to the best shops, marble factories, roof top restaurants and more. At another monument, where it is customary to visit and give offerings as a saintly ritual, he was very helpful in being upfront about what package would be described to us as a marketing campaign and was kind and mannered when we refused to indulge in it, extricating us from the situation with care and kindness.
I have no words of any complains from Shanu Hussain, and have referred him to many friends from all over the globe, several times over. I even commissioned him to help me during a New Delhi trip another time. He doesn’t have the word no in his vocabulary where customers are concerned, and is exemplary in his astounding hospitality and customer service. His rates are reasonable, he is not greedy, and he prides himself in improving good skills and exper.tise by doing guiding trips abroad as well. Kudos to Shanu, I highly recommend him. Regards, Ponni and Mohamed.

Hussain plus Agra is Wonderful - Went through Agra Tour on Jan 30 and Jan 31, 2024. Went with several friends. we were visiting from USA. we wanted to see TM obviously. Then we got Lucky, reeeealllly Lucky, We had Hussain, Our Best Guide of our trip....he made Agra/Taj Mahal even better than we had imagined. He is skilled worker, skilled speaker, skilled photographer, and he is a very genuinely nice person. Even the squirrels loved him as he befriended them. Today, months later, when we talk about TajMahal, we always bring up Hussain (The amazing guide), since he made that Worlds Wonder even more wonderful

Best guide ever - We went for sunrise to the Taj mahal with our organised guide, not knowing what to expect, it turned out to be the best guided tour we have ever had anywhere, Hussain was excellent, he knew everyone working there so he was given a little bit of preference for pictures at special parts plus he knew where to be at the exact time for sunrise for the different angles,as a group we all said afterwards that without Hussain it would not have been as good, I definitely recommend that you do yourself a favour and book him as your guide for an amazing experience, he also went after we left him and booked a lovely restaurant for us ,all round this guy was great 👍
