- Bigtcat0 contributionsAgra Train Ride from DelhiPuneet was a extraordinary tour guide who provided an extreme amount of help in getting us through the lines fast and fast tracking us through all of the crowds. He helped us to understand the locals by translating and also providing his advice on how to work with and respond to them.Written 12 January 2019
- Toyzrme0 contributionsDay train to Agra & Taj Mahal from DelhiHad a great time, great trip, great guide! Puneet was great - got us special deals, very knowledgeable, and fun to tour with. Very flexible and hospitable. A great day in Agra!Written 12 January 2019
- elie-schuss0 contributionsWonderful time exploring Agra and Fatehpur Sikri with Maneesh and Amar!We had an absolutely amazing time with Maneesh and Amar in Agra. We were able to make it to the Taj Mahal by sunrise and it was definitely worth getting up early. Both Maneesh and Amar were at our hotel ready to pick my dad and me up at 6:30 am and had water bottles for us. Maneesh is incredibly smart and has so much information about the Taj, Agra Fort, Fatehpur Sikri, and about India in general. Amar was waiting in the car for us while we were at each activity and was right there ready for us when we were ready to move on. We were able to skip the long lines and had a delicious lunch which was included in the tour fee. I highly recommend booking a tour with these two. They’re great!Written 10 January 2019
- Jose Luis E0 contributionsSame day Taj Mahal tourIncredible experience. More than recommend for anyone,especially for those visiting for the first time in India!Written 7 May 2018
- Matt D0 contributionsShatabti One Day Trip to AgraWe had a very fun and informative tour guide - rishi pal. We had a lovely trip visiting the Taj Mahal and Fathapur sikri, and I would highly recommend our guide and driver.Written 10 April 2018
- Sergio R0 contributionsEnergy and PerspectiveYou know when you are having a wonderful experience, you feel that things are just in the right place, the rhythm of everything you do is just tapping in the way you enjoy yourself most, and the company around you feels the same thing. That`s what happened during our journey to Agra, things were just right. Yeah there was a gazillion people, yes Agra is confusing and India is one of those places where everything is complete sociocultural liquidity, but as an ebbing river, you just suddenly find yourself atop a stone and all that chaos and energy and movement flows, flows around you, flows inside you. And our guide was just like that, he swayed and moved, and flowed and we flowed with him in order to swerve the tides of chaos and realize the beauty and significance of all things minor and great around us. He joked and played, and at the same time spoke with wisdom and great knowledge, in a way the flow of Agra was Rishi`s same flow, and in that ebbing we found what we came looking for and more. Overall, with eyes closed would I recommend this experience.Written 13 March 2018
- Juan A0 contributionsA wonderful guide for a World's WonderRishi Pal is a real pro on his job as a tourist guide. Actually, his knowledge and passion make him a real maestro who loves to teach the marvels of the Taj Mahal.Written 9 March 2018
- Eric W0 contributionsWHAT A TRIP!!! WHAT A GUIDE!My wife, a friend and I toured Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur with Puneet (Jim) last month and we had an amazing time! Jim is a real expert on the history and culture of the area and was able to show us the kinds of things we were most interested in. He took us to the must-see locations, of course, but he also took us off the beaten path so we could really experience what N. India is and has to offer. He is a great guide because he points out the details that most people would miss. He was also very aware of our personal and financial safety and looked out for all our interests while eating, shopping, and seeing the sights. Perhaps most importantly, he is a complete professional, balancing the profound with the fun. He has become a friend in India we can't wait to visit again!Written 8 March 2018
- Deborah S0 contributionsGreat tour with JimI loved my trip to India. I will never forget standing in the Red Fort and seeing the Taj Mahal for the first time. India is an interesting mixture of sites, smells, sounds and lovely people. Jim has excellent guiding skills. He was flexible, extremely knowledgable about the places we were at, and tried very hard to meet our needs and make the tour interesting to us. Thanks to Jim our trip was a success and I enjoyed it very much. I highly recommend Jim and hope to be able to utilize his services again in the future.Written 7 March 2018
- travelgourmet5550 contributionsFantastic Tour of Agra and JaipurPuneet is friendly, knowledgeable, flexible and shot to travel with. Very professional as well. Led us to very interesting traditional craftspeople. Highly recommend for a private tour or group. We’ll return to India and will rely on Puneet to lead us again.Written 6 March 2018
- kimmiekim220 contributionsGreat Adventure!My friend and I booked this excursion last minute and it was lovely! We learned so much and enjoyed every second. Highly recommended!!Written 27 February 2018
- WendiWh0 contributionsThe best of India with Puneet!!Where do I start?!? The experience we had with Puneet with our guide went so well and beyond my expectations. His deep knowledge of cultural sites, cultures of all the regions and all sorts of nuanced characteristics during our tour enriched our time there. He knows people everywhere and tailors the day to the interests and mood of the group with high finesse. He was an absolute pleasure to spend our time with. We were well accommodated and our safety, and money during purchase negotiations, always at the top of his mind. I have never before left a review on Trip Advisor but felt it very important that other hopeful travelers to this amazing country know about Puneet and his work.Written 24 February 2018
- Carrie S0 contributionsHistory, Beauty, and FunMy friends and I recently completed a tour of the Golden Triangle with Abish Travels. Our guide, Puneet Verma, was outstanding. He had a broad and deep knowledge base (with years of experience and a PhD), a great sense of humor, and a lot of investment and care. He went above and beyond expectations. For instance, I realized that I left my camera battery charging in our Agra hotel after checking out and while we were at the Taj Mahal. Not only did Puneet immediately arrange a wonderful professional photographer to take photos of us at a bargain price, but he sent an assistant to our hotel to retrieve my battery. What could have been a huge disappointment worked out even better than our original plan, thanks to Puneet and his many connections. Our driver, Mohan (unfortunately, I didn't get his last name), was also skilled, funny, and professional. We were able to see a lot in a short time and the friends that I brought with me thoroughly enjoyed the trip. I would recommend Abish Travels, Puneet Verma, and Mohan to anyone considering a trip to India.Written 23 February 2018
- JackiAG0 contributionsTrip adapted to my own scheduleAs a lone female traveler I felt perfectly at ease with both driver and guide. Subhash Chandra, my guide in Agra was amazing, knowledgeable and incitful tailoring the tour of both Agra Fort and Taj Mahal to my timescale and requests.Written 17 February 2018
