Highly recommended!!!!

We were introduced to Arun by our Airbnb host on our first day in Delhi. Since we only had 3 days in Delhi, it was recommended that we hire a driver to take us around. After getting cheated by cab drivers in Mumbai, I was a little hesitant at first but I am so so glad we went with Arun!! Not only is he a careful, knowledgable driver, he is just a wonderful, genuine person.

We spent our first day in New Delhi, visiting 4-5 “must-see” places. Arun was always willing to take us to all the places we wished to go to and he even made suggestions along the way. Whenever he felt we needed a guide, he walked with us! Walking through some crazy bazaars and traffic we realized we probably wouldn’t have found our destinations without his help.

The second day, he drove us to Agra (3-4 hr drive) to see the Taj and Agra Fort. He had suggested we also visit Baby Taj but we ran out of time due to our souvenir shopping spree 🙁 which was a bummer. Btw, the Taj is AMAZING. The long drive there and back was comfortable and relaxing.

The third day he drove us to the Old Delhi bazaar where he again walked with us through the crazy maze of organized mess. We also visited a few sights around there and Arun managed to fit in a visit to the Akshardham temple (highly recommended) before we had to leave for our flight back to Mumbai. Oh important to note, Arun is ALWAYS on time. So if you are on a super tight schedule, he is someone you can trust.

Throughout our 3-day journey with Arun in Delhi, we learned a few things about him that make him the best driver you can have in an unfamiliar, sometimes unsafe environment (we are two girls in our late 20s so safety is always a factor). He is not the kind of person who charms customers with sleazy calculative smiles for bloated fees or commissions (trust me we’ve met so many), he is a simply kind-hearted, hardworking, super humble person making honest money for him and his family. His top priority is making sure he meets his customers’ needs and ensuring they have a hassle-free, pleasant experience in North India. He can be chatty when you’re in the mood and I sensed that with us, he was considerate and careful to let us rest when we needed.

Arun, thank you for all you’ve done for us. You made our trip easy and memorable!! Will make sure to contact you when we go back!! Until then, wishing you all the best!!
