From a single office in the shadow of the Taj Mahal to India’s most-trusted tour company — Maharaja Tour has been turning travel dreams into lifetime memories since 2016.
Maharaja Tour was born from a simple belief: every traveller who comes to India deserves not just a tour, but a transformation. Founded in 2016 by Shobhit Kalra – a trained guide and lifelong Agra local – the company began as a boutique guiding service for international visitors arriving at the Taj Mahal.
Word spread fast. Shobhit’s deep knowledge of Mughal history, his warm approach, and his insistence on personal attention earned rave reviews that propelled Maharaja Tour from a one-man operation to one of India’s most recognised travel companies in under a decade.
Today, our team of 20+ expert guides, trip designers, and hospitality professionals serves thousands of travellers each year — yet our founding philosophy remains unchanged: every journey is personal, every guest is family.
All guides are government-certified and history-trained
Serving travellers from 40+ countries every year
Consistent 4.9/5 rating across Google & TripAdvisor
No call centres — real people, genuine care

From a single guide in Agra to India’s most reliable tour operator — here’s how we got here.
Rajiv Sharma launches a boutique guide service from Agra with a single focus: the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. The first 50 international clients leave 5-star reviews.

We celebrate our 2,000th satisfied traveller with a special Taj Mahal sunrise ceremony. Our team grows to 10 guides serving clients from 20 countries.
When the world paused, we used the time to train our guides, refine our itineraries, and develop new protocols for safe post-COVID touring — emerging stronger.
