India Tour Reviews

“Less like a tour - more like a day with a new friend”
I had the pleasure of touring Delhi and Agra with Azhar, and I couldn't have asked for a better guide. With a degree in architecture, he is an excellent choice for anyone with an interest in history and design. Despite my very limited time—just a few hours in the evening and again the next morning before my flight—Azhar masterfully adjusted to my schedule and even accommodated unexpected constraints on my end. In Delhi, we covered an impressive number of sites in a short time, ending with a delightful dinner at a local, non-touristy restaurant. The next morning, we made the long journey to Agra, where I was not only awed by the Taj Mahal but also welcomed into the warmth of his family and friends over a shared meal. What sets Azhar apart is his approach—unlike many guides who put on a show, he is relaxed, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about his country. Time with him feels less like a guided tour and more like exploring with a friend who is eager to share the places he loves. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a meaningful and well-paced experience in India.
Azhar U.
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review! It was truly a pleasure showing you around Delhi and Agra, and I’m glad we were able to make the most of your limited time. I always aim to keep things flexible, so I’m happy we could adjust to your schedule and still cover so much. Sharing the architectural beauty and history of these places is something I love, and it’s even better when I get to explore with someone who appreciates design and history as much as you do. Ending the day with a local meal and welcoming you into my circle in Agra was my way of making sure you experienced not just the sights, but also the warmth and hospitality that are such a big part of Indian culture. I hope your journey back was smooth, and that this won’t be your last visit! You’re always welcome to explore more with me anytime you find yourself back in India. Safe travels, and thanks again for your lovely feedback—it really means a lot!

“Customized, private tour.”
We had a full day stop over in Delhi and were looking to see the Taj Mal. Sid customized a tour for us including pick up and drop off at the airport. I told him what I wanted to see and do and he and our driver, Vishal, made it happen. It was a long day, but they both were incredibly kind, funny and took excellent care of us! They were flexible and made everything happen!
Sid S.
We truly enjoyed spending the day with you and are thrilled that you felt well taken care of. Thank you again for your trust, and support ... Will see you both in the wedding soon :)
