Guide in Agra

Four of us were in India over Christmas 2007 and had an excellent tour guide in Agra: Javed Khan (phone 91 991 703 1888 or e-mail javedtall12@yahoo.com).

We had our own driver, so we paid Javed just to give us tours. He speaks excellent English and his prices are very good.

On the first day, Dec. 17, we drove from Delhi to Agra, then met Jayed at Akbar’s Mausoleum in Sikandra for two to three hours in the afternoon. The second day, he was with us for about five hours; we met him at the Taj Mahal, where we had a great tour, and then went to the Agra Fort.

Including the tip, we paid him a total of $20.
