    Only breakfast is included at the hotel in Agra. Lunch and dinner can be enjoyed at your choice of restaurant or at the hotel, and you can pay for these meals directly. The driver who accompanies you on the tour may have limited English proficiency. However, we will provide a separate excellent English-speaking guide for sightseeing in Agra and Delhi. For transportation, we will arrange an AC Toyota Etios or a similar type of car for your trip. The vehicle and driver services will be available to you from pick-up until drop-off. Rest assured, this will be a private tour, and there will be no other individuals accompanying you. It will be only yourself and the driver/guide throughout the itinerary.

    On the English speaking guide, will he be following me througout the itinerary in the car also? Because this itinerary has many parts that are spread all over, other than the more usual Fort Agra, Mehtab Bagh and Taj Mahal - example we also walking around places like Kinari Bazar/Wedding Market, Khari Baoli/Asia's Spice Market, India Gate and also taking a rickshaw ride. So, frankly, i would be more comfortable if the English speaking guide is with me throughout the itinerary, especially when i am walking around example in Kinari Bazar, Khari Baoli, India Gate, etc. On Crystal Sarovar Premier, the photos look good also. I also saw on Agoda there are rooms also with Taj Mahal view from the rooms. Are you able to secure rooms with Taj view for me pls if we book early? Which of the 2 hotels has more shops i can ownself walk around after the driver/guide drops me off on the first night? Is it safe for toursits to walk around at night?

    In Agra, we will provide a dedicated guide who will cover all the sightseeing activities within the city. Similarly, in Delhi, there will be a separate guide who will accompany you during the sightseeing tour. Both guides will be with you in the car and will accompany you to all the points of interest mentioned in the itinerary, including places like Kinari Bazar/Wedding Market, Khari Baoli/Asia's Spice Market, India Gate, and during the rickshaw ride. Regarding the hotel, we can confirm a Taj view room for you at the Crystal Sarovar Premier 4* or at Tajview, Agra - IHCL SeleQtions 5*. Both hotels, are located close to market in the city. You can walk around the nearby areas and experience the local markets and shops. Agra is generally considered safe for tourists to walk around, but as with any travel destination, it is always recommended to exercise caution and follow basic safety measures. The driver will be at your disposal, and you can utilize their services for activities such as shopping at the market or dining at a restaurant.
