Farid was one of the best your guides I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Our trip started at 6:30am meeting Farid outside the Taj. Throughout our trip to the Taj Mahal, he was courteous and polite. His knowledge was impressive and his storytelling was extremely engaging all throughout the 4 hour tour of the Taj and local workshop. He had amazing photography skills and took some of the best photos I've seen of the Taj (all taken on our phone). I would have hired him on this alone! 

He took us to the local workshop where they demonstrated how to make the marble designs in the Taj and there was never any pressure to buy any of their products during this. 

I would recommend Farid to anyone who wants to visit Agra and wish we could have had more time with him for the Agra Fort.
