Starting early in Jaipur
The tour begins with a 6 am pickup from your hotel porch in Jaipur. This early start might seem early, but it’s designed to maximize your time in Agra and Delhi. The driver, known for punctuality and careful driving, greets you with a friendly attitude—an important detail, especially for those who dislike unplanned delays or rough rides. As one reviewer noted, “Driver was on time for a 4 am pick-up and very careful when driving,” which speaks volumes about their professionalism.
The journey from Jaipur to Agra
The private car, with its air conditioning, offers a comfortable escape from the heat and dust of the Indian roads. The approximately five-hour drive is a chance to enjoy the scenery, chat with your driver, or just relax with some bottled water provided along the way. The ride also gives an initial glimpse of India’s vibrant landscape, making the long travel time more enjoyable.
Welcome and sightseeing in Agra
Once in Agra, the driver introduces you to your private tour guide—an aspect that many past travelers praise highly. The guide is not only knowledgeable but also attentive to your needs, helping with photos and providing detailed explanations of the Taj Mahal’s architecture, construction, and symbolism.
Your visit to the Taj Mahal is tailored to your pace. Expect clear explanations about its history, as well as some insider tips on capturing the best photos. As one reviewer shared, “Our guide would explain you about the history and architectural facts… and would help you to take photo,” which is invaluable for those wanting to document their experience.
