Our trip to India was simply wonderful! The travel agency was extremely attentive from start to finish, always keeping in touch and making sure we had the best possible experience. The driver who accompanied us throughout the journey was excellent — very polite, helpful, and drove safely the entire time, which made a huge difference. The local guides were also fantastic, showing deep knowledge about the history and culture of each place we visited. Without a doubt, an unforgettable experience and a travel agency I highly recommend!

Common Questions

Same Day Tour — FAQ

Honest answers to what every international traveller asks before booking a day trip in India.

Yes. Delhi to Agra is about 200 km (3 to 3.5 hours by road). The tour departs around 5:30 AM and you’re back in Delhi by 9:00–10:00 PM — roughly 14 hours in total, with 4–5 hours in Agra covering both the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. It’s a long day, but almost every traveller says it’s worth it.

Pickup is around 5:30 AM from your Delhi hotel. The early start avoids rush-hour traffic and gets you to the Taj Mahal near sunrise — the best light and the fewest crowds of the day.

Included: hotel pickup and drop-off, private A/C vehicle, English-speaking guide, fuel, tolls and parking, bottled water. Not included: monument entry fees (paid on-site), meals and personal expenses.

Directly from your hotel lobby, anywhere within Delhi or Jaipur city limits. Share your hotel name and room number when booking, and your driver will be there at the agreed time.

Yes. Ranthambore is about 180 km from Jaipur (roughly 3 hours). You arrive in time for the morning safari, and you’re back in Jaipur by early afternoon. Sightings aren’t guaranteed, but Ranthambore has one of India’s better tiger-sighting rates.

Yes. Our day tours are 100% private — your own vehicle and guide, not shared with strangers. All drivers and guides are government-licensed, and a meaningful share of our day-tour bookings come from solo female travellers.
