We had an amazing time with guide Palash and driver Jabed! Palash is really knowledgeable. He communicated with us first about the itinerary and listened to our interests. He always cared about the way we felt and gave his best to show places which are not even in the description. Car was great and spacious and guide was always with us to answer any questions we had. Would recommend to anyone wanting to know Delhi in a day!

An incredible excursion worth seeing. A must in India. Our guide Manoj was exemplary and really - without exaggerating - a great help. He has a lot of knowledge and always supported us well. I can only recommend this excursion with Manoj to everyone. Always happy to do it again :) Übersetzt mit DeepL (https://www.deepl.com/app/?utm_source=ios&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=share-translation
