 Verified Shobhit. Greatest guide in all of Agra
Shobhit picked us up at Agra station (saving us from all the hassle of taxi / tour guide) and immediately asked us how we wanted the day to go. Armed with our needs (we had a train booked ) he showed us Daulah Tomb, Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. All with perfect timing which enabled us to do some shopping locally. With his expert knowledge we visited a very nice jewelry store called Ganesh Emporium. It’s more like a museum with some amazing artifacts on display. The most important aspect of the tour is always knowledge and telling the historic story in an engaging way. Shobhit was able to keep my 2 teenage boys amused and educated whilst answering my many detailed questions. He knew when to speed up and when to linger. Guides like Shobhit only come recommended and I am thankful that I didn’t rely on a random guide. If you are visiting Agra, I’m sure you will have a great day under Shobhit’s guidance

Words cannot describe how fabulous this monument is and photographs do not really do it justice. The first glimpse we had through the arch was breathtaking. It was extremely crowded however when we arrived in the middle of the afternoon and the traffic was so heavy that the we didn’t make it to the other side of the river to catch the sunset which was disappointing. Do give yourself enough time to allow for the traffic at that time. I would recommend going for sunrise as the changing light was magical and there were fewer crowds. Due to the visit and iconic photo of Diana it’s almost impossible to get that photo unless you pay one of the many photographers gathering there. Even if you are prepared to pay the crowds waiting make it a lengthy process.

 Verified A day to remember
I had a great tour of agra last week. He really knows the tj and the red fort. Prompt..ready with rge driver at 7 am. He handled getting the tickets. The day that we went there was no water in the trenches as they were being painted. He knew where to take the pictures. I learnt a lot about the tm..the tour lasted about 2 hours. Then it was time to go back to the hotel for breakfast. After breakfast it was time for the red fort. I loved the tour. In winter in Jan it can get chilly if seeing the tm at dawn so bring a jacket.

 Verified 10/10 for this Professional Guide for Taj Mahal and Agra
Friends had recommended Shobhit to us as a guide for Agra and the Taj Mahal. Right from when we first made contact, communication was very prompt and we made a plan to arrive early in the morning from Delhi. We'd had a long early journey so Shobhit helped us find a local restaurant for a quick bite for breakfast to keep the kids happy. He gave us good clear advice for entry, organized the appropriate tickets and guided us through 2.5 hours of easy paced wandering around the grounds and gave a fascinating narrative about the history and factual details of the beautiful Taj Mahal. He definitely knows his stuff and was very engaging. He also knew where all the best photo opportunities were and took charge of one of our cameras and took a lot of photos for us which will make for wonderful memories for us of this seventh wonder. We still had a bit more time, so we visited the Baby Taj next followed by a delicious local BBQ lunch that Shobhit recommended, possibly the best meal we've had in 4 weeks of travelling India.Would definitely recommend Shobhit as your guide for Agra and the Taj Mahal. He was extremely professional, fluent in English and a broad knowledge of fascinating facts and background.
