“TAJ Mahal RED FORT SAME DAY TOUR WITH AMAZING GUIDE ”
As a solo female traveler, I was initially nervous about exploring Agra on my own. However, my colleague kindly arranged a tour of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort for me through Shahid — a trusted guide who had previously impressed my colleague’s friend. From the moment Shahid arrived at my hotel on time, I felt completely at ease. His deep knowledge and passionate storytelling brought the rich history of both the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort to life. One of the highlights was visiting a family of traditional craftsmen whose ancestors were involved in building the Taj Mahal — a truly moving experience. Although we hadn’t discussed visiting the Baby Taj, Shahid went above and beyond by including it in the tour at no extra cost. He also treated me to a delicious Mughlai lunch at a local gem of a restaurant. Throughout the day, he made sure I was safe from hawkers and pickpockets, and his respectful and protective nature ensured I never felt alone. For any woman traveling solo, I wholeheartedly recommend Shahid — not only as a guide but as someone who genuinely looks out for your comfort and security. THANKS SHAHID.K

“Very Responsive and Courteous Guide”
After researching many websites and reviews, I decided to contact Sid S. through Gowithguide, and I’m really glad I did. Sid is a very polite and responsive guide. He replied quickly to all of my questions, which made the booking process smooth and reassuring. My boss, who actually joined the tour, is still on a business trip, so I haven’t heard all the feedback yet — but I’ll be sure to update the review later. From the booking side, I can confidently say that Sid’s quick communication made a big difference! Highly recommended so far!

“TAJ MAHAL & Agra Red Fort Trip ( India )”
I recently booked a tour of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort with Shahid, and I must say it was an absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. Shahid was an excellent guide — knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly friendly. From the very beginning, he ensured everything was seamless and stress-free for us. He assisted us in purchasing the entrance tickets for both the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, and thanks to his guidance, we were able to skip the long queues and enjoy a smooth, hassle-free entry into both sites. His in-depth knowledge of the history, architecture, and stories behind these iconic landmarks made the tour both educational and deeply engaging. After the sightseeing, Shahid recommended one of the best restaurants in Agra for authentic Mughlai cuisine. We followed his suggestion and were not disappointed — the food was absolutely delicious and added a wonderful culinary highlight to our day. He also took the time to show us some local handicrafts and souvenir shops, offering helpful insights into the traditional artistry of Agra. It was clear he wanted us to have a well-rounded and memorable experience. For anyone planning to visit India, especially Agra, I highly recommend choosing Shahid as your guide. His dedication, local knowledge, and warm personality truly enhanced our visit. He is a wonderful guide and made our trip unforgettable
