Our Jaipur to Agra day trip was a fantastic experience, thanks to Nasir (our driver) and Mohammed (our guide in Agra).
From the start, Nasir was excellent—he called the day before to confirm our pickup time and even noticed from our booking that we had a child, so he thoughtfully brought treats for the road. He arrived on time, drove carefully and patiently, and was always happy to answer our questions or stop whenever we needed a break. He was easy to communicate with and made the journey smooth and enjoyable.
We arrived in Agra early and met our guide, Mohammed, who gave us an outstanding tour of the Taj Mahal. He explained everything clearly, provided fascinating historical context, and was very protective of us when dealing with street vendors. One of the things we really appreciated was his approach to photography—he knew exactly where to stand for the best shots, helping us capture amazing pictures while avoiding the crowds.
Another standout aspect of the tour was that Mohammed never pressured us into activities we weren’t interested in. He offered to take us to a local artisan demonstration, but when we mentioned that we were hungry and had a child with us, he immediately suggested a great restaurant instead. We felt completely in control of our experience.
After the impressive Agra Fort, where Mohammed got us in quickly despite long lines, we headed back to Jaipur. The return trip was longer due to traffic, but this is where Nasir truly shined. His defensive driving kept us safe, even in the chaotic traffic. We felt completely secure the entire ride.
Booking tours like this can be nerve-wracking because of the many options out there, but we’re so glad we chose this one. Nasir and Mohammed were fantastic, and we’d absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a day trip to Agra from Jaipur!
