Shiv, our driver picked us promptly in a KIA SUV which was very clean and modern so from the outset we felt that our journey would be comfortable and minimal risk of the car breaking down which can happen with an Uber driver. Shiv was friendly and a safe driver all the way answering our questions. The guides arranged knew there topic although a bit repetitive in their speech. Sikri was the highlight. I recommend taking small money for the small boy vendors who are trying to help their parents with money.

The Shahi Darwaza Gate at Fatehpur Sikri served as a royal entrance for the emperor and his court. Its imposing structure and detailed carvings reflect the grandeur of Mughal power and prestige.
The Turkish Sultana’s House, built in an Indo-Turkish style, is adorned with elegant arches and fine decorative details. It served as the residence of the Sultan’s consort, reflecting grace and royal charm.
The Panch Mahal at Fatehpur Sikri is a five-story, open-pillared pavilion designed for leisure and royal women’s use. Its airy structure offers panoramic views and reflects Mughal elegance.
The Buland Darwaza, built by Akbar in 1601, is a monumental gateway celebrating his victory over Gujarat. Standing 54 meters high, it is one of the grandest examples of Mughal architecture.
The Khazana, or Treasury, consists of three rooms and was likely used to store imperial gold, silver, and secret documents, though it was wrongly called Ankh Michauli. Its thick rubble masonry walls contain hidden coffers and deep recesses, suggesting secure storage. Distinctive features include corbel-supported struts with serpentine scrolls emerging from monster jaws, inspired by Jain temple motifs of Western India.
The Caravan Sarai near Hiran Minar in Fatehpur Sikri served as a resting place for traveling merchants and their caravans. This spacious inn highlights the city’s role as a thriving trade and cultural hub.
The Fort Wall of Fatehpur Sikri stretches for nearly 6 kilometers, enclosing the magnificent Mughal city. Built with red sandstone, it provided both defense and a majestic boundary to Akbar’s capital.
The Diwan-i-Aam at Fatehpur Sikri was the hall of public audience where Akbar addressed the grievances of his people. Its spacious courtyard and pillared design reflect openness and imperial authority.
Hathi Pol, or Elephant Gate, served as a grand entrance to Fatehpur Sikri, built wide and strong enough for royal elephants to pass. Its imposing structure symbolizes power, strength, and imperial grandeur.
The Hiran Minar at Fatehpur Sikri is a tall tower built by Akbar in memory of his favorite elephant. Its unique design and purpose make it a remarkable symbol of Mughal affection for animals.
This rectangular complex with long arcaded porches is often thought to be stables, though its location beside Jodha Bai’s Palace makes this doubtful.
Birbal Bhavan, near Jodha Bai’s Palace, is a finely built residence showcasing elegant carvings and symmetrical design. Believed to house Akbar’s trusted minister Birbal, it reflects Mughal artistry and charm.
Tomb of Sheikh Salim Chisti Beautiful Tomb made with White Marble, Precious Gems & Stones etc.
The Jama Masjid at Fatehpur Sikri is one of the largest mosques in India, built by Akbar in 1571. Its grand design and intricate Persian-inspired motifs make it a masterpiece of Mughal architecture.
Jodha Bai’s Palace at Fatehpur Sikri blends Rajput and Mughal styles, with spacious courtyards and richly carved motifs. Built for Akbar’s queen, it reflects both royal grandeur and cultural harmony.
The Diwan-i-Khas at Fatehpur Sikri is famed for its central intricately carved pillar with radiating stone bridges, symbolizing Akbar’s vision of unity. This grand hall was used for private audiences and discussions on religion and philosophy.
The Anup Talao is a stunning ornamental pool at Fatehpur Sikri, surrounded by beautiful pavilions. It was used for musical performances and royal gatherings, adding grandeur to Akbar’s court.
The Khwabgah, or “House of Dreams,” in Fatehpur Sikri was Emperor Akbar’s private chamber for rest and reflection. Its richly decorated interiors reflect Mughal artistry and the emperor’s refined taste.
Explore one of the world’s deepest and largest stepwells, built over 1,000 years ago. Marvel at its stunning symmetrical steps and intricate design that reflect ancient Indian engineering.

Shiv Kumar Prasad named Shiv was so lovely, professional and friendly. He drove us safely and very well explained a lot about the Rajasthani culture and India in general. His car is very good and clean. I did not feel the length of the journey at all. I recommend him 200%
Great way to get from Agra to Jaipur! They made it very easy to see a few sites on the way and arranged all the logistics very well. Amir was a great driver. Would recommend!
We had a great experience with India Saying Namaste Trips. Our driver, Salman, was fantastic. The service from the company was excellent. We had an issue with entry to the stepwell, but I contacted India Saying Namaste Trips and they resolved it incredibly quickly. Their communication and customer service were outstanding. Fatehpur Sikri was an amazing stop and well worth visiting. Our guide, Gola, was very good and helped us get the most out of the experience. The stepwell was also worth seeing, although by the time we arrived at the end of the journey, the heat and long drive had caught up with us! We skipped the temple and the tourist shop. Our only real downside was the car. We travelled in a Toyota Etios, which we found uncomfortable for such a long journey. In hindsight, we should have checked the vehicle before booking, as we would have happily paid extra for a newer car or an SUV. Overall, we would recommend India Saying Namaste Trips, particularly for their fantastic service and responsiveness. Tip for other travellers: Check exactly which car you’re getting before you book, and consider upgrading to a newer vehicle or SUV. It’s a long drive, and your bum will thank you for it!
A fantastic transfer and experience the two stops are well worth it and our driver was superb! I wouldn’t hesitate booking this trip again if I needed it!
I highly recommend this driver. Pleasant and professional. Car was clean and well air conditioned. He was able to tailor our journey to our preference. Polite and kind. I wish I could give him 10 stars.
Salman showed up on time to pick us up from our hotel in Agra, drove us to Fatehpur Sikri where we met our guide, who was knowledgable (and encouraged us to shop). We went to the tourist trap stop on the way to Chand Baori - food is pricey for what it is, but is fine. The guide at Chand Baori was great and also showed us a nearby temple (and encouraged us to shop). Leaving Agra at 10:30, we were in Jaipur around 20:00, but we move somewhat slowly and had a late lunch at the stop. Having the guides helped keep us on schedule to be able to see so much in one day. Salman drove well, even through an unseasonable rain storm. We weren't interested in shopping, so just told people their work was beautiful and declined (hopefully politely) to get anything. I advise using these types of services for transfers between cities. For the rideshare apps, even if you book well in advance, they don't look for drivers until an hour or so before pickup. Maybe just a fluke, but this worked seamlessly, while a planned rideshare intercity trip a week later spent a long time unfulfilled.
Amir is a great driver who made our trip from Agra to Jaipur very enjoyable and pleasant. He adopted the trip to our needs and stopped at good and price worthy restaurants for breakfast and lunch. We also had stops at very interesting historical places. He always gave us the time we needed for each stop. We would gladly let Amir drive us again.
Our driver arrived to pick us up on time and got us safely to Jaipur. The car itself could have been in better condition, however it was air conditioned and clean. The whole day flowed smoothly with two guides ready to meet us at the two stops. Both good guides and interesting places. Beware hard sell of souvenirs at Fatehpur Sikri.
Everything was fine! We had a wonderful transfer with two very interesting visits. Both guides and the driver Kishor Sharma, were very friendly. Thank you!
Great experience. Picked up on time. The car was comfortable. The driver was safe and took us to our two spots without any issue. Had the guide meet us and show us around. Never had to exchange or pay for anything else. Would highly recommend!
Comfortable ride with a great driver and the tour guides at Fatepur Sikri & Chand Baori were very friendly and knowledgeable.
The trip was amazing and I’d highly recommend. Our assigned guide, Dinesh, at Fatehpur Sikri, was very informative and very helpful. We are satisfied with the appropriate photos taken as well. Same at Step Well, which we visited too, this place is much easier to understand with a guide. We reached Jaipur safely Everything was according to plan.
The drive and visits were perfectly good. However, the pick up in the morning was an hour late with little communication during the time we stood outside our accommodation waiting, never quite sure whether we would get to Jaipur for our next hotel, or whether we were being scammed.
The driver did not speak English. He has difficulties with finding directions. Anyway he drives very well.
Driver turned up on time and drove us expertly and safely all the way to Jaipur . With stops on the way including a lunch stop ( own expense ). Both stops were interesting with knowledgeable guides ( tip: wear proper footwear so you can navigate both sites well). And mind the goats at stepwell
The operator was very flexible and helpful. They were accommodating in modifying the destination and route to suit our needs. What I appreciated even more was that they proactively suggested options that allowed us to enjoy the trip even more. Also, their frequent check-ins throughout the journey were very reassuring and gave us peace of mind.
We booked a journey from Agra to Jaipur, stopping off on the way at Fatehpur Sikri and the Chand Baori Stepwell. Both were amazing. Our guide at Fatehpur was excellent - knew lots and had great English. Our driver Aamir was excellent too - he drove carefully on this long journey. We’d specifically requested no stop offs (we didn’t want to be taken to additional restaurants, souvenir shops and be pails everywhere since it has got very wearing in India!) and he listened to this and made sure we were taken directly. He had to fill up with LPG twice and each time kindly explained that we would be stopping and why. Would highly recommend.
We had a great experience with our car transfer. Communication with the agency was quick and efficient right from the start, which made us feel relaxed and reassured. Our driver was professional, kind, and very helpful throughout the journey. On both Fatehpur Sikri and Chand Baori we had nice friendly guides. Unfortunately, at the end of the tour in Fatehpur Sikri, the guide suggested a souvenir shop where the vendor turned out to be a scammer — but this clearly wasn’t the agency’s fault, just something to be aware of as, I'm afraid, it's common on these famous touristic destinations. The restaurant where we were brought for lunch had wide variety of choices and great food quality. We never felt rushed and were able to explore both sites at our own pace. All in all, everything went smoothly and we got amazing memories. I’d definitely recommend this experience to others looking for a comfortable and enjoyable transfer where you won't feel like you wasted time on the road and you'll actually be able to visit two of the most amazing landmarks of the region.
......The service of the driver Baadshah was really great, he is really a kind guy. The car should be better but it works.
A great day travelling from Jaipur to Agra with this tour. Our driver was safe and professional and the handover to the guides at each stop were seamless and stress-free. The communication beforehand was also excellent.
Great experience, pickup was arranged promptly and without hassle. Experiences were also well arranged along with the driver as well. Would recommend if you are travelling between Agra to Jaipur.
Smooth from start to finish. The company sent a WhatsApp the day before to confirm pick up and drop off and the driver also sent a message introducing himself and confirming the time. He arrived on time and was an excellent driver and spoke English. The handoffs to the guides at the two stops was seamless and the guides were good. Overall, excellent experience and great value. Only thing to note is the car is slightly old but it’s comfortable and safe (seatbelts etc) so we had no issues with it. Definitely recommend this transfer!
Shiva was an excellent driver for us. Very comfortable SUV type car to cover all our luggage. Very good driving and the guides provided at both the Baori and Fatehpur Sikri were excellent. Easily the best tour we have done.
We travelled Jaipur to Agra. Our driver was excellent, punctual, courteous and above all calm and safe. We had a great guide at Fatehpur Sikri - but we were unimpressed by the guide at Abhaneri stepwell who, on our arrival, hassled us to speed into the site - this was because he had other ‘clients’ waiting!! Then he proceeded to give us a very formulaic tour and was uninterested in answering our curiosity and questions. Finally, we would recommend leaving Jaipur around 8-9am we requested 10am and realised this is not enough daylight to see everything comfortably. ( Tour operator: it would be good to let people know about a suitable departure time) otherwise, thanks for a good day!
Car is perfect Driver Nisar the best we have on tour and absolutely safe, friendly, good english, excellent. We would recommend! 👍👍👍
I booked with short notice and I was promptly set up with a professional driver who made sure I had a smooth journey. Having pre-arranged tour guides, including tickets already purchased on my behalf, made for a very easy and enjoyable trip.
Great tour operator, great driver! Everything worked out perfectly! Even the carchange we did the day before worked out.
Was picked up timely and the hand offs to two tours and a meal was smooth and efficient. Driver Govind was polite and drove well.
Good, courteous, safe driver and tour. Only issue was the super overpriced lunch stop. After passengers finished overpriced lunch quickly, we had to wait about 20 minutes for the driver to finish his own lunch at the local-only spot next door.
Comfortable journey! Our driver was kind and safe. Our tour guides were very informative! It was super hot this day but we persevered
Comfortable journey! Our driver was kind and safe. Our tour guides were very informative! It was super hot this day but we persevered.
Car transfer from Jaipur to Agra was smooth and problem free. The driver was courteous and the stops at Chand Baodri and Fatehpur Sikri well-organized with local guide. Lunch stop was good. Car was a bit old but that is the only complaint. Still recommended.
We arrived well. Met good people / guides along the way at key sights. However, the car is not suitable for this journey for 2 people with lugagge, which is probably the case for most travellers going from Agra to Jaipur. Considering the big amount of money paid for this journey I expected a way better vehicle.
It was a great journey from Agra to Jaipur. Good driver, very interesting sight-seeings on the way. Giudes were also great. Thank you!
It was well planned trip. Our driver was very friendly and he drove safe. Guides told us many interesting stories and helped us with the pictures
If you need to travel from Agra to Japuir this is the best way. Private car with two really amazing stops on the way. Private guides meet you from the car and share excellent knowledge. We had a great day. Our driver Baadshah was amazing and really looked after us. 100% recommend
We had a good driver, and the tour stops were very interesting with a guide in each location. The stepwell was especially interesting. It also helped us get from Agra to Jaipur.
The driver was excellent took us from agra to jaipur in ac car and very attentive. Smooth and organised journey we stopped at Fatehpur sikri and then to abhaneri step well and driving. The guide at Fatehpur Sikri and abhaneri step well was very informative and welcoming. Great way to see the sites and commute.
We had the best guide for Fatehpur Sikhri. Our guide, Abid (Tony) did a great job. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. The site was beautiful and we were glad we went.
Great low stress way to make your way to Jaipur from Agra. Driver picked me up at lodging right on time. He stayed with the car & my luggage all day. First stop Fatehpur Sikri where a local guide was waiting. This guide did a nice job of explaining the history and showing me around the site. He was very nice and went out of his way to make sure I enjoyed my visit. Then back into the car to continue journey towards Jaipur. After a quick stop for lunch along the way we arrived at Chand Baori Step Well (Abhaneri). This was the highlight of the day for me. Again, another local guide was waiting. It was obvious it had been a long day for him as he was below average compared to the other guides I met in this trip. However the site itself is amazing and a little research beforehand compensated for the less than enthusiastic guide at this location. Seriously the step well is amazing and worth the stop. After a quick tour around the nearby Harshad Mata Temple back into the car for the final leg of journey to Jaipur. Driver dropped me at the doorstep to my guesthouse. Great day. Highly recommend.
Everything was organized very good, I especially liked a driver on my tour from Agra to Jaipur, he came to a hotel one hour before trip waiting me, was very attentive along the way, driving was safe and we stopped to take photos with local people in villages, I enjoyed my time very much, the best driver in my trip to India. In Fatehpur Sikri and Stepwell were local guides and also everything was good.
driver was nice and the tours we did on this day were amazing. the steps and the fort was worth it to see it. early morning is better as there are no tourists ruins the pictures.
Very careful driver. The sights are impressive to visit. We wasted some time at the entrance to the second site where the staff wanted to charge us again for the entrance and the guide saying that our ticket did not work. After waiting and negotiations the travel agency managed to get us in.
magnificent, India, Rajasthan, is one discovery after another! Architecture of infinite delicacy, breathtaking scenery... the ghost town is just one of the many examples of Rajasthan's beauty!
I really recommend it. He arranged a private car from Agra to Jaipur. On the way, I asked them to stop by Fatehpur Sikri and Chandbaoli. All of the interactions were smooth, the people in charge were kind and extremely reliable. They were very flexible in asking us not to attach a local guide. The driver picked me up on time on the day. The price is also very low compared to the general one and I'm really glad I asked you to come here!
