We get easily sightseeing reservation day before using La Vacanza Travel chat. Driver Arjun was in time 9am. He was cheerful and polite driving peacefully and fluently. Delhis traffic was more organized than in Mumbai. We passed Red Fort because have visited already Agra fort. Guide Ashwani Kapoor was living wikipedia with special knowledge. He speak English well (off course with Indian accent) and was calm. Even we non native English speaking understood most of it. It helps if you have read before basic history of Indias rulers. We have enough time visit other historic places without rush, take photos and videos. Only Lotus temple was more crowded. Even there long queue moved forward well in good discipline. More people also at Quite Minar, but not a queue. End of trip we visited governments supportive handcraft shop. Old Delhi was fascinating and I liked to be there half a day. All sightseeing went nice, fluently and trustfully without rush. I highly recommend, especially if You don't have more days to go around one way or another.
