    Overall, this was a pretty good tour for the price. It’s a little misleading because it’s not a small group, the size of the group is how many people you have in your own personal party. And you get a driver, the tours in Delhi, you’re on your own. Get dropped off at the different sites. Entrance fee and do your own walking tour. There is a tour guide in Jaipur and there is a tour guide in Agra for the main sites there. Mr. Singh was my driver and he did a great job maneuvering around at the incredibly crazy traffic within India. He was very skilled and personable. I just wish his English was a slight bit better so we can communicate a little bit better. Or maybe my Hindi needed to be better lol. The hotels were good. The first one in Delhi and the last one in Delhi were five star. The one in Jaipur and the one in Agra could’ve been a little bit better. The locations of all the hotels were more on the outskirts of town, so you’re pretty much wete confined to the hotel, not much to do around the hotel.
