Traveled with my three adult children from the US and we had a fantastic time with Monika. She is small but mighty! She was responsive, organized and thoughtful in helping us personalize our 2 day tour to Agra. I have already recommend her to friends traveling to India next month.
Our tour guide was on time and the car was very comfortable, she adapted the tour to our needs and special request. She is very knowledgeable and provided great context. Overall the tour was very well put together and comfortable as promised.
We had an amazing time with Monika. She was already waiting for us when we got down to our hotel lobby in the morning and immediately we where whisked away to the developing lines at the Taj so we could get there at opening. Walking in and seeing the Taj Mahal nearly empty at the beginning of the day was truly unforgettable. Monika was so friendly, gave us a perfectly paced and factual tour, and took amazing photos! Her English was also perfect. Highly recommend her! I'd say more, but I'm out of space!
Book Monica! From planning the trip to every detail, she took care of whatever we needed. Our flights were late, she adjusted day 1 and added a fun stop. She rearranged day 2 so we would see the Taj in the best light. We still got to see all we wanted to. If we mentioned anything in the car - she made it happen. From facts to stories she blended it well to make the 3 days one big story. I will book Monica again and tell everyone too. She is professional, fun, she really took care of me and my parents!
We had an amazing time with Monika and highly recommend her. Her English is fluent, her knowledge is fantastic and she has really well tailored the tour to our interests and needs. On our first day we arrived with tired children that were not feeling well and she leveraged her personal place to make us feel welcome and allow us to rest (and experience the life in an Indian family). We've seen places in Agra in the best way possible, which would not have been possible without her. Thanks Monika!
Monica was a fabulous guide. Very knowledgeable about the sites, the history and had plenty of tips and suggestions. Our visit to the Taj Mahal and Red Fort was brought to life with her stories. And her photo-tips were spot-on - she knew all the places to get the perfect holiday snaps. Monica was very professional, friendly and her English was terrific. Highly recommended.
