The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra

Storyteller Sandeep took us on a tour of the Taj Mahal. What an experience!! Sandeep was excellent - we didn’t have to queue and he took great photos of us while managing the crowds around us. Sandeep was so knowledgable and explained the history, fun facts and all. Please pass on our thanks to Sandeep, he made our day and is a credit to your hotel.

Great knowledge helped avoid the queues and got some great photos at the Taj

It was only one night, but it felt like a fantasy dream staying at the Oberoi Amarvilas in Agra. My wife and I were on a pilgrimage of sorts to see the Taj Mahal, and this is the prefect place to launch the trip from, AND to have the magnificent structure stare into your hotel room all day and night. The Oberoi is an ultra luxury place with top level service, outstanding food, and the most beautiful views inside and out. While our stay was very quick, there were two occurences of outstanding service that I'll always remember. The first was that my wife left some clothing in the room after check out. The staff there had it shipped to our next location! The second was that the Oberoi provided a guide for the Taj Mahal experience that was perhaps the BEST guide we've ever had. Ravi Chaurasia has been giving tours of the Taj for 20 years and made the whole place come alive with the history, events, and stories that you simply don't get on your own. Ravi was also incredibly valuable in helping to avoid the aggressive vendors and photographers, as well as finding the shortest cues and shortcuts to avoid the heavy traffic of other tourists. Ravi was so good that we even hired him to take us to Fatehpur Sikri, the famed "Ghost Palace" later that day! All this means is that I'll want to stay longer the next time I visit Agra.

One of the best experiences I have had. Oberoi is a spectacular place. I was so grateful to be at one of the rooms with a balcony view to the Taj Mahal. The Oberoi Amarvilas team that supported us during our stay when beyond expectations. The food at the restaurant was also delightful. This experience is unforgettable. Thank you and congratulations to the manager, the concierge, the desk team, everybody.

Excellent hotel excellent staff very good service from chef Khushi and chef Vibhor who went out of their way to turnaround the unpleasant incident at breakfast the way they handled the situation was something I feel I would take back as a lesson to my business I had a wonderful time at the hotel.
