WITNESSING THE MAJESTIC MONUMENT AWAKEN WITH TAJMAHAL PRIVATE HOLIDAYS

  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.

  I was wonder Taj built excelent.any how this was built by I proud all workers and also guide Balvirji

  Balvir is an excellent tour guide with very good attitude and knowledge.This was my second time with him touring Agra with my family. He gave us a very detailed walkthrough... read more of Taj Mahal , Agra fort and the historic significance behind those monuments. He was gracious enough to click some beautiful family pictures and is an excellent photographer too .I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a guide during Agra visit

  Tour guide for Taj - Balvir was our tour guide. He checked all the boxes that you are looking for: first he took us all the pics at signature spots when it was less crowded,... read more then he gave us an in-depth story about Taj. He was also very thoughtful about the guests and make sure we were comfortable. Highly recommended!

  Amazing day in Agraa! - I had an amazing experience on my day in Agraa! We went to both the Taj Mahal and the Agraa Fort, as well as visited some local shops and restaurants.... read more The tour guide was very knowledgeable and patient with us (as we kept wondering off amazed at the architecture). Everything was perfect. Worth mentioning that the guide is also a great photographer 🙂

  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

  Santosh did a great job on our tour of the Taj Mahal and the Agra fort. His English is excellent and his knowledge of both locations as well as his... read more general knowledge of Indian history added a lot to the trip. I don’t know how we would have been able to navigate all of the details without Santosh. I would definitely recommend him to anyone traveling to Agra!!

  Our tour was amazing, we were provided with the history of the Tajmahal and the insight given was so knowledgable.

  We've been to the Taj many times, and this was by far the best experience -- all thanks to Balvir Singh, our amazing guide. We hired both a driver and... read more guide from Taj Mahal Private Holidays, which worked out well since the two communicated seamlessly. The driver met us with a placard as soon as we stepped out of the train station, and from then on he miraculously was waiting exactly where we exited after each excursion. This was really nice for my elderly parents.

This trip was special as I brought my 9 year old son along. Balvir Singh spoke English very well, and immediately connected with my son - making the story of the Taj so engrossing and thrilling! He answered all of our questions with ease, and was professional, courteous, and flexible (we stopped to take many many photos!). We left the Taj feeling so much more knowledgeable than going in, despite reading lots about it beforehand (and seeing it previously).

After the Taj, Balvir Singh took us to an artisan craft store to see how the inlay work of the Taj was done firsthand. We followed this with lunch at ITC and then a trip to the Agra Fort. We were able to do a lot, but we never felt rushed or hurried. All in all, I'd highly recommend Balvir Singh and will be making sure to book him again as a guide the next time we come! Huge thanks to him, our driver, and the Tajmahal Private Holidays team!
