Guides are great - Sadiq is a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide - he’s been doing this for 11 years and knows all the best places to take pictures and the answers to all your questions. If you get all inclusive, it really will be all inclusive - they pick you up from the hotel, guide tou to your train seat, pick you up from the platform, pick your your shoe covers, etc, very worry free for lazy travellers. If you’re here to relax, a guide is 100% recommended.

Taj Mahal, full day! - The Taj Mahal is unbelievable. It was totally worth the 2-hour train ride from Delhi and back. It can be a bit overwhelming, but you have someone to pick you up and drop you off at every stop, which makes it very easy. My guide, Arif, who was originally from Agra, was very kind and flexible, adjusting the tour to my needs. I truly appreciate his kindness; all the stories he shared with so much passion made me feel connected to the love story between Shah Jahan and Arjumand Banu. The tour agency was amazing. However, I do agree with many reviews that suggest stopping at the agency office in Agra is unnecessary and could easily be managed over the phone, as was done for my tour in Delhi. On the bright side, they give you free postcards!
