Great visit to Agra - We had a fullfilling and busy experience in Agra. Praveen Tehriya (Rocky) was a great guide and we appreciated all the information and knowledge he shared with us. Also we value how he and the company made our access to the places we visited (including Taj Mahal) easy and without needing to make long lines to get in. It is certainly a valuable way to see and explore these wonderful cultural and historical aspects of India.
