I had an incredible experience touring Agra thanks to Malik! From the moment I arrived, he made everything seamless—he met me right outside my train cart with a sign, which was such a relief in a busy station. He navigated me through the city with ease, and his kindness and honesty stood out throughout the day.
We visited the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, and his knowledge of the history behind both was impressive. He answered every one of my (many) questions with patience and detail. What truly stood out was how much he cared about the sharing the history.
If you’re visiting Agra, I can’t recommend him enough. This tour was the highlight of my trip to India!
