Its thick rubble masonry walls contain hidden coffers and deep recesses, indicating secure storage. Notable features include corbel-supported struts with serpentine scrolls emerging from monster jaws, inspired by Jain temple motifs of Western India.

Comfortable transfer to Jaipur - 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).

Amazing travel partner! - 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.

Not bad. - 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.

Exactly what was requested! Highly recommend! - 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... - 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.

It is a recommended company that you can use with confidence. If you're not sure which tour company to choose, this is for you - 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!
