We initially booked a driver to tour us around New Dehli for the day on two separate occasions and later decided, on a whim, to hire him for the rest of our trip through Rajasthan. Mr Raja advised on a few tweaks to our overall trip and consequently drafted a personal package to include and 8 day tour of New Delhi, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Pushkar and Agra. (Just a note: we loved Jodhpur and were so happy to have been advised to add this to our trip, however Pushkar was not for us and in hindsight we would have rather sacrificed the visit for an extra day in one of the other places.)
Our driver, Mr Khalil was great! He knew all of the sights to see and exactly where to take us and gave us advice at each destination (what the locals were like, what/who to avoid and how to navigate the entry etc). He was always waiting nearby when we exited each monument which made us feel much more comfortable and at ease. He suggested many activities that tourists tend to enjoy, Monkey Temple, elephant ride and camel safari etc (some of which we turned down due to personal reasons.) Mr Kahlil works very hard, offering to pick us up in the evenings to drive us to dinner even after a full day's drive.
We loved chatting about his family and where we are from and even got him using some of our banter!
To top the trip off, we were celebrating our anniversary during our trip and were given a cake and a flower garland each when Mr Kahlil came to pick us up that morning which was a really lovely touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would recommend Mr Khalil to anyone wanting to add a personal touch to their trip. "Next time we'll be three"!.
