India Tour Reviews
Bella D.
“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!
Sid S.
Thank you very much Bella for the compliments... It really made my day Thanks Sid :)

“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
Shahid K.
Dear Mara M., Thank you so much for your wonderful and valuable review. I truly appreciate your kind words. It was my pleasure to provide you with the best possible service during your tour, and I’m glad I could meet your expectations. Thank you for choosing us for your journey. Please feel free to recommend our services to your family and friends—I would be honored to assist them as well. I look forward to your next visit to India and hope to welcome you again soon. Warm regards, Team THT

“Be careful to verify the identity of your tour guide”
Unfortunately, our experience with Shahid in Jaipur was disappointing and frustrating. My friend and I (both females) visited from the USA and had arranged a two-day tour with Shahid (and also paid full amount in advance), but without any prior notice, he sent someone else in his place. In addition to almost a two hour delay, the person who arrived claimed to be him (fake identity). It quickly became clear he was not who he said he was, after we requested to check his ID right at the hotel gate. He was rude, dismissive, and highly unprofessional, which completely soured the experience and left us feeling uncomfortable and misled. We raised our concerns and requested a different guide for the following day, and thankfully, the second guide was professional, respectful, and much more in line with what we expected. This experience taught us a few important lessons: 1. Always confirm the identity of your guide in advance and check their photo ID before you start the tour with them, especially when booking through third parties or informal channels. 2. Don’t hesitate to speak up if something feels off — your comfort and safety matter. A good guide can make your trip memorable, but the wrong one can do just the opposite. We hope Shahid and GoWithGuide company take this feedback seriously and ensure more transparency and professionalism going forward.
Shahid K.
Respected Ma'am, I sincerely apologize if you faced any inconvenience during your tour due to the guide we had arranged. Actually, I was supposed to accompany you on your Jaipur tour myself, but I had an urgent matter come up that day, which required me to leave Jaipur. Therefore, I had to send another guide in my place. If you had any unpleasant experience because of the substitute guide, I truly apologize for that. As you mentioned, we will strictly follow all the rules and expectations you have outlined in the future. We take your feedback very seriously and assure you that such a mistake will not be repeated again. Once again, I apologize sincerely. Warm regards, Team THT
