Our Drivers' Tips for Delhi and Agra

  • Plan around closures. The Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays and the Red Fort on Mondays. We set your days to avoid both.
  • Start the Agra day early. Leave from 5 AM at no extra cost to beat the traffic, the heat and the crowds.
  • Send your passport details in advance. We book your monument tickets with no booking fee, so there's no waiting at the counter.
  • Wear comfortable shoes in Chandni Chowk. The lanes are narrow and busy, so keep valuables close.
  • Travel light at the Taj. Only a small bag is allowed inside. Food, tobacco, tripods, drones and large bags are not, so leave them in the car.
  • Eat safely. We only stop at FSSAI-licensed restaurants (India's food safety authority), or wherever you ask.
