A very well-planned two-day adventure! The pace was brisk, but we managed to see all the major highlights, including the stunning Amber Fort in Jaipur. The hotel provided was comfortable and clean, offering a much-needed rest between the busy days. Be prepared for a lot of driving, but it's totally worth it for the sights you get to see.

Our driver was absolutely outstanding – professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great trip. Having the flexibility of a private car meant we could spend extra time at places we loved. Experiencing the Taj Mahal at dawn and then exploring the vibrant markets of Jaipur felt like a whirlwind of wonder. Highly recommend this tour!

This tour packs a lot into two days, which was great for seeing so much, but it did feel a bit rushed at times, especially in Jaipur. The sunrise at the Taj Mahal was breathtaking, and our guides at each location were informative. It's a good value for money if you want to see the key sights quickly. Just manage your expectations regarding the fast pace.

Our guides in both Agra and Jaipur were fantastic, bringing so much life to the historical sites, especially the Red Fort and Hawa Mahal. The car was comfortable, though Delhi traffic can be quite intense, so prepare for some delays. Seeing the Taj Mahal at sunrise was truly unforgettable, a definite highlight of the trip.
