We had a magical day . The driver and our guide ASHISH met us at our hotel right on time. ASHISH Suggested be rearrange our day because of the fog, he was spot on right. By the time we went to the Taj Mahal it had cleared up . All day long our driver was punctual in pick ups and drop off . Always opening doors and offering water. He was great . His car was clean and his driving made us feel very safe to be riding with Madan Ji. All day long Ashish took great care of us. Very knowledgeable about India and any questions we had during the tour. His English was great !!! He also help us get the best pictures at the most perfect spots. I can’t say enough of what a great experience I had with this tour , the guide and driver. We highly recommend this tour.
