Nina E2025-02-11Verified Mani is the best! Mani was 10/10 guide! A great chat and very knowledgeable about not only the Taj itself but the surrounding area, local fare and history. He showed us areas of the Taj not accessible to all of the public (felt very VIP) and is very familiar/friendly with security and staff of the grounds. As first time travelers to India, we felt very taken care of during the tour and most importantly, safe with Mani. We had so much fun and when we visit the Taj again, we would only want to do it again with him! Alexander T2025-01-27Verified Wonderful guided Tour - Taj Mahal Manoj, our tour guide for the Taj Mahal was outstanding! Not only did he know everything about the history of the sight, the different stone pieces on every wall, more important he was the most friendly guy! Hospitality and Education at its finest. Can only recommend and would do it again when coming back! Alex T. Mat J2025-01-23Verified Sunrise at the Taj I had the most amazing day and Mani was a brilliant guide.
