We had a great experience overall. Mr. Ramesh was punctual and the tour was well arranged. I was able to make the reservation only two hours before the tour and because of that no driver was available, thus Mr. Ramesh had to assume both roles of guide and driver. However he handled the high workload very well and provided us a phenomenal experience with his high level of knowledge, friendly attitude and patience.

The tour was taken on Sunday, which has pros (light traffic, you can quickly get from one place to another) and cons (some places are closed on Sunday or queues way too long). Overall works better on Sundays as on other days you may only be able to see 2-3 places (if that much!) due to time lost in traffic jams. Sonu is a seasoned guide who appeared exactly on time with Lalit (driver) and from the very beginning of the tour was engaging, informative and helpful in every respect. He will happily provide the info on India’s culture, religions, language and dialects (he will teach you few words in Hindu) and political system, as well as history behind many landmarks and sites you will visit.

Great tour, the guide and driver (Ramesh and Lalit) were very helpful and answered any questions I had. Okay okay followed a fairly standard tour and had a good stop for lunch at a nice restaurant in New Delhi. It was nice to have everything organised for me. Would use again.
