Good Experience of visiting the Taj. I would recommend Shahid and Oberoi tours. We went to natural to the taj.Mahal with Shahid from Oberoi tours. He was very knowledgeable about Agra and the taj mahal. We had elders in the group, and he was very patient with us. Keep care of all the ticketing and help us get through all the counters. All in all, it was a very good tour.
