Great Day Trip Outside of Delhi - This was a fantastic trip. My driver Sharma did a great job working through the traffic. The guide Himanshu did a good job explaining the significance of the religious sites and the two cities. He answered all of my questions and made me feel welcome. He also adapted the tour to my interests. I really enjoyed the boat ride across the Ganges and walking the suspension bridge.

Amazing Tour - What was amazing. I was a little reluctant about taking this tour but shortly after I met the driver I knew I made the right decision of deciding to continue with the tour. Ajax was lively and knowledgeable and genuinely kind. I felt like he appreciated the nature of his job and I would tour with him again in the future.

Probably better off choosing a different company - I booked a tour with this company and it was decent. We had decent but not outstanding guides and the trips went fine. The driver was excellent and took great care of us. I would have rated this higher/4 stars except that the vendor seemed too concentrated on getting his money which I did not understand. Maybe this is a cultural thing or maybe he gets ripped off sometimes. Anyway, I think you are better off with someone else.
