  • 4Great way to explore Agra beyond the usual sights

    We did a Heritage Walk with Soulwalks as an office team and had a very good experience overall. The walk was informative and gave us a great glimpse into the older parts of Agra. The local food stops were excellent in terms of taste — the places are quite basic in their look and feel, which is understandable given the character of the old city. Ending the walk with a view of the Taj was a wonderful touch. A couple of things that would have helped us plan the experience better: we visited during Sawan festivities and the Kanwar Yatra, and while the team did adapt with alternate routes during the walk, it would have been useful to know beforehand about the expected crowds and their potential impact on access. Similarly, as we did the walk on a Monday, the closure of the spice and jewellery markets was something we would have liked to know in advance when choosing and planning the walk. These are more about proactive planning guidance than the walk itself, and given Soulwalks’ local expertise, I think this would be a useful addition to their pre-walk communication. Erum, our guide, was fantastic, and Tahir was excellent with the hospitality. Both made the experience enjoyable. Overall, I would definitely recommend Soulwalks for anyone looking to explore a different side of Agra.

  • 5Amazing experience

    Just returned from an amazing tour of Agra old city with Arhaan. He was so knowledgable, engaging and kind. We walked the old city and Arhaan shared stories, brought our surroundings to life and he found so many interesting places that we would never find. We also ate some gorgeous sweet and savoury food and had had plenty of water & a delicious lime drink. I cannot recommend this company enough / they are first class amazing and are at the very top of their game.

  • 5Taj Mahal and Agra 101 tour with Tahir

    Tahir was our guide. He spent the morning with us at the Taj Mahal then we met late afternoon for the Agra 101. His sharing was passionate and he really tried to understand what our interests were so he could tailor the experience to us. He expressed deep personal knowledge of Agra and really brought into the history and current realities of the city and his neighborhood. My highlight was being invited to him home. We met his lovely wife and mom and cat! The food and chai laid out was amazing and being in their home helped connect us to his world. Thank you for your hospitality and your care of our needs. I felt safe, heard, and grateful for the friendship you offered us. I will note that i wasnt our groups main coordinator. I heard later they had a lot of confusion and difficulty coordinating with this company. They only realized later that multiple users were using the same whatsapp handle which led to part of the confusion and frustration.

  • 5The best day in India with the best guide ever!

    Arhaan (Heritage Experience Curator) was the best guide we have ever met! He is extremely knowledgeable and competent, and he guided us on our exploration of Agra, sharing countless historical anecdotes in a very thorough and professional manner. His passion for Indian history and culture shines through in his words and is really captivating. In addition to showing us the city’s architectural and artistic treasures, Arhaan took us to explore some local markets where the vibrant heart of Agra beats. After spending a wonderful afternoon, Arhaan took us to the home of an incredibly kind and hospitable family. They offered us excellent tea and invited us to stay for dinner and join them for the Eid celebrations. We spent the entire evening with their relatives and friends, and they truly made us feel right at home. Finally, Arhaan was kind enough to personally drive us back to the hotel, even though it was already very late. In short, the day we spent in Agra with Arhaan was the best of our entire stay in India! It enriched us not only culturally, but also—and above all—on a human level.

  • 5A historical walk in ancient agra

    I had a fantastic experience with Arhaan. I like history and I already knew some of the historical background behind the landmarks of the visit. He tailored the experience accordingly and successfully provided so many details and curiosities! So I highly praise his knowledge and the level of commitment towards trying to embed me with stories within mughal India

  • 5A must-do for anyone visiting Agra

    My partner and I were in Agra for 2-3 days and wanted to see the city beyond the Taj Mahal. We couldn’t have done it without Tahir - he showed us places we would have never found on our own, or which we wouldn’t have understood without explanation. He really brought the city to life, both in its glorious past and its complex present. We also tried a few local snacks which we would have never dared to taste on our own, but were delicious surprises. Not to mention, Tahir and his wife opened the door of their lovely home to us at the end of the tour and offered us tea. Truly a 10/10 experience which I’d recommend to anyone visiting Agra.

About Agra

Agra, sur la rivière Yamuna dans le nord de l'Inde, abrite le Taj Mahal, le monumental fort d'Agra et la cité fantôme moghole de Fatehpur Sikri.

Le Taj Mahal, construit par l'empereur moghol Shah Jahan comme mausolée pour son épouse Mumtaz Mahal, est l'un des édifices les plus admirés au monde, son marbre blanc changeant de couleur de l'aube au crépuscule. Ses jardins, ses bassins réfléchissants et ses incrustations de pierre sont les plus beaux tôt le matin, et les jardins de Mehtab Bagh, de l'autre côté de la rivière, offrent une vue paisible au coucher du soleil.

Top-ranked sights in Agra: Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Tomb of I'timad-ud-Daulah.
