“A day long trip to Vrindavan-Mathura-Agra. This was brilliant. Guide Arun Rajput ji explained in detail about Taj Mahal’s rich history, architectural marvels and was very genuine and warm throughout. He extended himself to get beautifully clicked pictures. He also explained and showed us Agra Fort and its rich history. It was fantastic and would highly recommend this. We also had a good time at Vrindavan and Mathura with our guide.” - Reviewed on 2024-07-01
