“Agra Trip -- Feb 2024”
We engaged Mohsin K as our guide for our Agra trip and it was one of the best parts of the trip . His Knowledge of History ,architecture & Culture was excellent and he was able to provide a context when we visited Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. It really helped us to go back in time and visualize how things must have been four hundred years back. He was very accommodating to senior members in our group. We wish we had more time to see other monuments with him in and around Agra. He is fluent in English and the local language, as well as logistics of navigating the sites, which helped the trip go smoothly. He was a warm and engaging guide and was able to answer all our questions on history, culture, and customs. We would highly recommend engaging Mohsin as a tour guide if you plan to make a trip to Agra.
