I’m so glad I took this tour. Especially as I had limited time and was to fly out of Delhi that night. Babban, the driver, was punctual, conscientious, and kind and got me safely to Agra and back to Delhi. He took the toll highway which seemed as quick as an express train. When we got back to the madness of Delhi rush hour traffic he was adept and efficient. Imran Khan, the guide in Agra, was an encyclopedia of knowledge and street smarts. It was early on a Tuesday morning so the crowds were not massive. Still, he whisked us into the Taj Mahal and performed a splendid tour that offered fascinating insights and information about this extraordinary and unmissable landmark. Full marks. Imran was kind enough to steer me to a local jeweller, at my request. Then have Babban take me back to Delhi. Time was short so I skipped the fort (pity). (Note that the tourist is obliged to provide lunch for the guide and the driver, at a location of the guide’s choosing, so factor that into the cost of the excursion.) Given my tight schedule, I squirmed about whether or not to take the chance. I’m so glad I did. The Taj is clearly a must-see. And a solid team of driver and guide made the journey seamless and utterly satisfying.
