WITNESSING THE MAJESTIC MONUMENT AWAKEN WITH TAJMAHAL PRIVATE HOLIDAYS

  Learn about the history of Taj Mahal - I do not usually book guided tours when visiting places as I like to read about them before. However, I did want to learn in more detail about the architecture... read more and history of Taj Mahal.
The tour was arranged by my home stay through Tajmahal Private Holidays. I had an experienced guide Balvir Singh who has been working in the industry for several years. Overall I have had a nice experience and would recommend to get a guide to understand more about Taj Mahal instead of just taking pictures.

  He is one of the kind person.. He explained very well about Taj mahal. I would easily recommend him.

  Amazing Experience - This was my first time at the Taj Mahal but some of my family members had been before, but the tour with Balbirji was so amazing. He explained us the... read more history behind everything, took us to the more underrated/crowdless spots, clicked great pictures and videos, and completed everything in a timely manner. We had so much fun, and I highly recommend Balbirji!

  Great experience! Balvir was a very well read guide and told us some great stories about Taj!
It's a must book for Agra!

  Words cannot explain the appreciation I have for Balvir, my tour guide and owner of this company. I met Balbir while on a business trip and had a... read more day scheduled for a private tour of the Taj mahal. Balvir met us a few miles outside of Agra; drove with us to the front gate of the Taj and from their - well he just took us from place to place, provided amazing insights into the history and made sure we were hydrated and safe. Yes, safety is a concern for many visitors, and I wasn't worried one moment - maybe when the monkey was sitting next to me, and I had no idea - but Balvir took care of ensuring I was fine.

I have traveled around the world - the TAJ is amazing and Balvir is very impressive - both as a guide and as a person - we got to learn about each other over the 8 hours - if you are looking for a trusted tour guide, I highly suggest using Balvir and his team.

Okay few things to know - drink bottled water and have extras with you (it gets hot fast). If you visit the rug store or stone store - it is okay to say "thanks but no thanks" after the pitch - if you buy something, the price is negotiable but at the end of the day are you buying the item for a deal or rather to have a piece you can relate with forever - negotiate but remember they live off what we are willing to part with.... be fair! Special call-out to the stone salesman (nice education and experience); rug store was interesting and free beer is a plus - enjoy the full experience and see the amazing work they produce (it is part of the full cultural experience if you ask me).

If you buy the photo package - get the files downloaded to your phone before you leave. How they do it is a bit odd, USB direct into your phone (it’s okay, you get all the photos in 2min and say WOW - I have this many photo's) - btw, the photo package is worth it - they know all the shots and angles you will be impressed if you use the photo guys (pay once you have everything!) - Balvir will take care of everything - you just settle up with him when you leave.

Overall - great experience, if you come for the day and bring water and snacks; be prepared to walk in the sun and be amazed by a spiritual vision and Balvir's honest and deep insights.

Thank you, Balvir - I hope you and your family are well. I truly feel the experience you offered me has changed my life positively and I can't thank you enough!

- Cheers Brother! DK
