Agra -good tour guide?

Hi,

Anyone used any good tour guides in Agra?

We arrive in a couple of days and have 1 and a half days.

Any recommendations would be great.

thanks

you will have them coming out of your ears when you get there, if you get one at the usuaL sites, taj etc make sure they are a Government licenced guide there a plenty of them at the sites and make sure they speak good english, if thats what you require...then check their price and dont settle for dont worry or whatever you think I am worth at the end of the tour, settle the price before you start your tour.

Javed

Recomendation for Javed Ali
We came to delhi and bought a tour via the tourist office and we got Javed Ali as the driver and guide. He was reliable and honest and very usefull. HE showed us al lot of things that we would not have seen otherwise. The trip took us too Jaipur and Agra and showed us many differernt sides to india. This way of travelling is both fun and safe and you get hold of many valubale tips on how to cope with the Indian society.

We recomend buying the tour directly through Javed Ali, instead of the tourist office, because its much cheaper.

When were you in Delhi? Are you back in Sweden now?

Where did you go on your tour?
