Press Kit — Taj International Tours
For journalists, travel bloggers, and editors writing about private India tours, the Taj Mahal, and the Golden Triangle.
The Story
Anwar Khan was born in Agra — the city that grew around the Taj Mahal. He began guiding at 19, licensed by India's Ministry of Tourism, and has since spent 15 years introducing visitors from the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada to India's Mughal heritage. He now holds 55+ five-star TripAdvisor reviews — every one from a named international traveller.
Unlike the large India tour agencies that sell packages through UK or US offices, Anwar works directly with every client from the first WhatsApp message to the final drop-off. No middlemen. No commission shops. No shared groups. This is why his reviews don't say “great tour” — they say “Anwar changed the way I see India.”
Taj International Tours operates exclusively in the mid-tier private guide category: better than a group Viator tour, 30–40% less expensive than equivalent packages from UK luxury agencies (Kensington Tours, Audley, Scott Dunn). Direct booking with genuine local expertise.
