I booked this tour to stay safe during my solo Inida travels :) I would recommend this trip for a quick tour of Dehli and to see the Taj Mahal but to check the tour does not take place during holidays (e.g. sight seeing monuments are closed). It was super safe and would suit a tight travelling schedule.
Pros:
- Great driver the whole way (Jagdeesh). A genuine and lovely person who drove carefully and always greeted you with a smile. Good conversation and morales. I would recommend him for anyone looking for a safe driver who respects boundaries. We would chat lovely conversation and then I could nap and rest - i felt i had lots of space and respect.
- The hotels were both great and exceeded my expectations! I could rest well in both of the hotels which I really needed.
- The tour guide in Agra / taj mahal was great. He was chatty and taught me a lot - he took so many photos (unprompted by me) - meaning someone who hates taking photos - left with lots and some great shots.
Cons (constructive feedback)
- In Dehli - we spent a lot of time in old dehli and we passed the parks and gardens by car. It would have been lovely to be able to spend less time in old dehli and have some free time to wander the parks alone and take in the nature - especially before a 4 hour car journey.
- I came during Holi - which is my fault for not checking. But this meant all of Japuir was closed. So I did not really get to see any of the monuments inside at all. I felt like it could have maybe been made into a 2 day trip given this holiday was happening. This should not affect anyone else booking after march :).
