I thoroughly enjoyed the day. The driver was 10 minutes early for the pickup which was very reassuring and kept me informed along the way, ie how to deal with hawkers, where we would meet the guide, how long the ride would take and also a bit of general knowledge on New Dehli. My tour guide, Mehran Uddin was very informative, made the day relaxed and easy and held interesting conversations. As a solo femal travellor I felt safe and looked after and the whole experience from booking the tour through to being dropped back at the hotel was so smooth and easy I don't think it could have gone any better. I would suggest taking some snacks for the trip, the driver does stop on the way and there is time for lunch, but I found with the humidity in Agra I got very hungry and weary quickly. Overall, a very enjoyable day.

Had a great day visiting the Taj and Agra Fort. It was a interesting 5 hr drive up to Agra, but my driver did a great job in all the traffic. My guide around Agra was excellant and shared his knowledge with me. Thank you and I would use your company again.
