Excellent experience in Agra - I was going to try to visit Agra by figuring it out on my own. But I got lucky and found Sabir. He had the experience and professionalism... read more to get me in and out of Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal in the best way possible, at the times I wanted to go. He explained the history and significance of the sites in great detail and was super personable. He knew exactly where I should stand for the best photos. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. In fact, if i return with family/friends, I'm definitely going to contact Sabir. Great experience!
