WITNESSING THE MAJESTIC MONUMENT AWAKEN WITH TAJMAHAL PRIVATE HOLIDAYS

  It was awesome meeting with Balvir Singh.I wish to meet him once more.The kind of explanation was great.

  We had Balvir as our guide. He was wonderful and attentive. He shared the detailed history of Tah Majal, showed the best picture spots, helped us skip the lines and... read more much more.

  Good memories with lots of experience...guide was so good to explain about the whole about Taj Mahal...it was a nice journey..

  Santosh is a very friendly tour guide with a lot of knowledge. He always took care of our well-being and made the tour exciting and comfortable. I can recommend this... read more tour to everyone.

  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

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.
