Unforgetable unique experience - Our 3 hours guided tour with Agra Heritage Walk was a excellent highlight of our trip to Agra. Kaleem, our guide was very accommodating to host us during Ramzan period and amidst the summer heat. The walk was easy paced, it was held in the evening where the weather was much pleasant. Kaleem was friendly, knowledgeable and very passionate in sharing cultural stories of Agra, he also told us wonderful history on Jama Masjid and its surrounding area. The heritage walk brought us to unique routes, stores and food that were only known to the locals. A memorable part of the walk was when we got off-the-beat to view the evening's beautiful sunset on top of a roof. It was an unique experience admiring the vast view of the old Agra city during sunset. Kaleem was kind enough to invite us to his home and also to perform a tune on his Indian Sarod, a traditional musical instrument. Highly recommended for anyone interested in experiencing Agra through the viewpoint of a local. Learn about the rich history, diversity of the nation and you will have an unforgettable experience.

Recommended tour for a more genuine experience - Excellent tour provided in neighbourhoods of Agra which usually remain unseen by most of the visitors. Very much appreciated the occasion provided by the tour to engage with locals, away from the main touristic attractions. Definitely recommended for a more genuine experience of this beautiful city, who has even more to offer than only the Taj Mahal!

Impressive insights - Alim gave us an excellent and informative tour of religious sites and of places in the Old City with an impressive knowledge of history and culture. We would never have had the courage to explore these secluded and precious venues on our own. We especially appreciate the possibility to get insights into everyday life and to listen to his opinion on current issues. Thank you so much!

कलाbaaz - Agra ka pehla tajurba tha. Kyuki itihaas, tehzeeb, kala, mehfil aur dilchasp kahani qisso ka shauk hai, Agra ko janne ki ye bhot achi shuruaat thi. Kaafi kuch dekhne janne ko mila. Agra me sirf Taj Mahal hi nahi bhot kuch hai. Bhot acha raha Tahir bhai ke sath.
