Monika did an absolutely fantastic job with our tour. She provided a customized experience based on our requests and did a lot of extra research for us while taking the time to understand exactly what we wanted to maximize our limited vacation time. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime trip! I have been using ToursbyLocals for near 10 years with dozens of tours across the world and Monika provided one of the best experiences we've ever had. She's a very kind and caring person who will go way above and beyond to provide an amazing experience with rich insights. Monika gave an incredible tour taking us through the history, perspectives, and culture of the Taj Mahal, Agra, and India more broadly. She also ensured we got into the Taj Mahal first before the crowds! My family and I had a truly unique, multi-day experience with Monika. We are very thankful to her for the amazing memories.

Monika organized us transfers from Delhi to Agra to experience Taj Mahal during sunrise, and then back to Delhi. It was truly a wonder. Everything was on time, on point, all clear. Monika acted as a true professional, everything was explained the best and clearest way. We've taken delightful pictures and enjoyed sightseeing. Recommended to anyone who wants to see the most in the shortest time!
The guide and tour was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that she deserves a special thanks.
One of the best decisions made for my family and getting Monica as the guide. I read her reviews before booking and they are spot on 5 out of 5 or better still 10 out of 10. She is an excellent tour guide and a great thinker on the move with all the congestion we had on that day. She even managed to squeeze in a stop at a sweet shop for my wife to try the local sweets. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for an excellent tour guide. On a day where there were bumper crowds, she managed excelled.
Monika is a very nice person, charming and superb tour guide. Communicates in perfect and clear English and gave my group a wonderful tour of the Taj Mahal and Agra.
I had a personal tour to Agra guided by Monika and really enjoyed myself tremendously. Monika speaks fluent English and was very friendly. Monika made the entrance to the various tourist attractions seamless and helped me with buying souveniers at a local market. It can be overwhelming to do a tour on your own in Agra but Monika made the trip so painless and enjoyable. I highly recommend Monika if you are looking for a personal tour guide especially in India.
