Traveler Tips

There is a good bit of driving to see all three of these cities.

Ranthambhore Tiger Tour of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur 5 Star Hotel | Mar 2019 This trip was to check the Taj Mahal off my list of “Wonders of the World.” But I found that India has so much more to offer! I booked this through Viator.com. They did a great job in choosing PCTI. The trip was well coordinated and followed the itinerary almost exactly. By choosing the tour that included Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, I added an exciting experience seeing a tiger in the wild! The many other sites including the Hawa Mahal, the Amber Fort in Jaipur, the Lotus Temple, Humayun’s Tomb, the bird sanctuary outside Agra – my goodness! There was so much to do and see. I opted for a solo tour, so I had my own driver (Thank you, KK Sharma) to pick me up on time or early at each of the excellent five-star hotels that I stayed in. Being in a private car, I was dropped off at the entrances of sites and was never kept waiting when I exited. Mr. Sharma navigated the insane traffic expertly and calmly. Plus he pointed out things on the way that I would have missed: the brick factories near Delhi, statues and temples on the roadside to Shiva and the Monkey God. Each day I had a different guide from the city I was visiting. I did not experience the daily life in India or walk the streets of Delhi. But I’m sure if I had wanted to, my guide would have made that happen. As it was, they kept me safe while showing me the sights and telling me the amazing history of this area of the world. Great job especially to Ahsoor (?) in Jaipur while riding an elephant and Mahesh in Agra. They had special tricks to share on best places for photos and were very knowledgeable in more than just dates in history. There is a good bit of driving to see all three of these cities. Consider this when booking your tour. I was quite comfortable riding in a late model Toyota Etios. The experience was one I would not have missed. Since the entrance fees of monuments and parks was included, all I had to buy was some of my meals. A very stress-free trip.
