I booked Gattiman Express to get Agra to visit 1. Taj Mahal 2. Oberoi for lunch and view 3. Agra Fort. I didn’t want somebody push me to visit shops until I buy something, that’s why I didn’t book any guide nor through day driver. I was planning to use Uber and some auto rickshaw to go around those places. However, when I got arrived to Agra Can’t station from Delhi, a man asked me whether I need any transport to visit Taj Mahal and the price was just 150 ruppies and I made a deal. I got on a car, but the man was not driver nor a guide, other 2 men got ride on the car as a driver and a guide. The guide spoke very professional skilled way, and the driver seemed okay. They persuaded me to use them until 17:00 AgraCant station for a day. I thought that would be a good deal with someone who knows very well about everything in Agra with AC. I even enjoyed shopping Ayurvedic products of Himalaya which I asked them to take me to.
Riyaj, he was very decent driver with good driving skills with manners.
Rahman, he was very expertised in guiding and he was very proud of what he does for over16 years. His guiding was not just an explanation but sometimes he acted 2-3 people just for me like drama. He was such a story teller and knew the best photo points really a lot.
There was a little misunderstanding between me and him for treating other guide inside Taj, but at the end, we understood each other and he was very flexible about it. I give them 5 out of 5. Thank Gid, I had them. But as it is very difficult for me to make an appropriate price, I wanted to have advice or sample prices for guiding. I was not sure if he was happpy with the price I gave him in the end.
