From an office next to the Taj Mahal to India’s most trusted tour operator – Maharaja Tour is here to make your travel dreams a lifetime memory, since 2016.
The inspiration behind Maharaja Tour was a simple principle: any visitor to India should have not only a trip, but also a transformation. Founded in 2016 by Shobhit Kalra, a native of Agra and a professional tour guide with over 15 years of experience in the tourism industry, the company started off as a boutique guiding service for foreigners visiting the Taj Mahal.
It did not take long. The profound knowledge about Mughal history, warm character, and personal approach gained Shobhit great reviews that made Maharaja Tour grow from a one-person business to one of India’s leading travel operators within less than a decade.
Now our team of over 20 experts in guiding, trip designing, and hospitality works with thousands of travelers annually. Our philosophy stays the same: we treat every traveler as our family member.
All guides are certified by the government and know the history of India
More than 3000 tourists from 40+ countries every year
Consistent 4.9/5 rating on Google and TripAdvisor
No call centers, only warm personalities
Our aim is straightforward – to take you through the true essence of India. It’s not about the picture-perfect India. It’s about the stories, scents, talks, history, and people that make India so unique and incomparable.
We strongly believe in responsible tourism which means being considerate to the local communities, encouraging local artisans and businesses and leaving the monuments in better condition than when we saw them. The three pillars of all Maharaja Tours packages include Expertise, Authenticity, and Care.
