Guided day tour including Taj Mahal - We organized a car and driver from our Hotel in Delhi and drove to Arga. When we arrived we collected Aayush. He was very polite and had very good English. As 3 ladies, Aayush made us feel very safe and explained the day to us very clearly, giving us advise on what to do and what not to do to keep ourselves and our valuables safe. Aayush had a wealth of knowledge and took every opportunity to tell us the story of the Taj Mahal. I would highly recommend using Aayush and his service.
