  We visited Taj Mahal and the fort. Very quick access (the guide makes several things quick and easy), very good explanations. Thank you!

  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!

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

  Balvir is a totaly awesome guide for the amazing Taj and Agra - We met with our guide Balvir in Agra after departing early morning from Delhi with our own driver. Balvir was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, honest and completely focused on ensuring... read more we were going to have an enjoyable day visiting the Taj, Agra Fort and doing some shopping in Agra.
Balvir delivered interesting stories and history for a wonderful immersive experience at the various places we visited and coordination with our driver over the day was seamless. Balvir made us feel safe amongst pesky Hawkers, picked good places to eat and even where to withdraw money safely for our shopping. Speaking of shopping, Balvir even helped with haggling at some of the "government endorsed" stores we visited.
We couldn't recommend Balvir more highly to anyone that is looking for an outstanding guide.

  Awesome. - Balvir Singh is a great guide with whom we visited the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort in December this year. We found Balvir to be very knowledgeable.

He really made our trip memorable .

  Transportion & guide were excellent. Both were very humble. Balbir (our guide) was of great help throughout the trip. He helped us with required historic details; the site seeing was... read more very smooth & hassle free

  I found him full of knowledge and information required, friendly staffs makes it more enjoyable. Thank you for the lovely trip.

  I hired a car and tour guide from Taj Mahal Private Holidays. Mr. Balvir was excellent guide with excellent ideas about Taj Mahal.

  A reliable smiling guide - We had a memorable tour of Tajmahal thanks to our trustworthy guide and his vast knowledge of history. We drove from Jaipur in our hired car and were greeted warmly... read more by Balvir from Taj Mahal Private Holidays. He was on time and could organise our tour very beautifully, creating good memories for us to keep.

  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

  Dear Friends - Myself, my wife & son had the unique opportunity of visiting Agra (Taj Mahal in particular) in April this year. I selected Balvir Singh as... read more our guide thru a known source. I can confidently say that Balvir was among the best of tour guides I had experienced during my travel to various destinations within & outside India. He was extremely knowledgeable, dependable, honest & sincere. Balvir was always punctual and took care of our every need. Towards the end of our trip, he became a friend (I should say he became part of our family...). We were indeed sad to say bye to him at the conclusion of our stay in Agra.

Without any hesitation, I recommend Balvir (and his staff) whole heartedly to any one looking for a very professional guide (or even as an inbound tour operator) for Agra & beyond.

Best wishes from all 3 of us:
