Raj was a good driver, punctual, polite, spoke good English and knew his way around. Rocky was a great guide, he spoke good English, was polite, friendly, knew all about the Taj etc and took some great photos of us. We enjoyed our day with him. Only thing we didn't like was the long wait for the train and the late arrival in Delhi.
