He also told me some information about Delhi, the taj, the red fort, and other things along the road which was interesting. But he was also happy to give me some peace and let me sleep along the way!

A lot and completely unbelievable what work is behind both Taj Mahal and Agra’s Red Fort, no wonder they are on UNESCO list. I had a very good driver, Mr Arjun who skillfully took me to Agra and back to Delhi’s traffic jungle. The day was long and the car distance should not be underestimated from Delhi. Overall an overwhelming experience, recommend. / Johan”
