Arrival Day: You'll be met by your Namaste India Tours English speaking driver at the exit of the arrivals hall and taken to your hotel. He'll get you settled in your room and agree on a meeting time for tomorrow's City Tour of Delhi.

Day 2. Full day City Tour of Old/New Delhi. Come with a list of sites you'd like to visit, or let your driver plan your day for you. Make payment in full some time this day.

Day 3. To Jaipur (roughly five hours). Afternoon sightseeing. Sites can include: Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantor, the City Palace Museum, Birla Planetarium, Laxmi Narayan Temple, Vidhyadhar Gardens, Nahargarh Fort, Amer, a side trip to Galta and more. Your driver will know which sites are best tackled on which day and in which order.

Day 4. Full day sightseeing of Jaipur. Complimentary elephant ride at Amber Fort if an elephant is available.

Day 5. To Sawai Madhopur (about 4 hours) for tomorrow's safaris at Ranthambore National Park.

Day 6. Your package includes the cost of your two safaris today: one by jeep and one by canter. Wildlife abounds and with any luck, you will see a tiger, or two!

Day 7 To Agra (about 6 hours). The astonishing Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays. But don't worry: if you arrive on a Friday you'll simply see the Taj tomorrow. 

Day 8. City Tour of Agra. Check out Mehtab Bagh, Agra Fort, Sikandra (tomb of Akbar) as time allows. You might be able to stop at Mathura, birthplace of Krishna, before returning to Delhi by evening. (Agra to Delhi is about four hours.) Some travelers depart by train for Varanasi or Khajuraho from Agra instead of accompanying the driver back to Delhi.

Need some guidance on how much to tip your driver for his 16 days of continual service? Gosh, this is awkward. Ask your driver, or anyone providing you a service in India and their answer will be "as you wish" which really isn't helpful, is it? We'll just tell you honestly that a typical tip is between Rs 700 and Rs 1000 per day, paid directly to the driver at the end of your trip.
