    Every question, answered before you ask

    Real answers — visas, safety, money, the Taj's closing day. If it's not here, WhatsApp us and we'll answer within the hour.

    Before you fly

    Do I need a visa? How much and how long?
    Yes — an e-Visa from the official portal indianvisaonline.gov.in only (lookalike sites charge big markups). The 30-day tourist e-Visa is inexpensive for most nationalities and takes about 3 working days to process; apply at least a week out. Print the approval and carry it with your passport.
    When is the best time to visit?
    October to March: dry, sunny, 22–30°C days. April–June hits 40°C+; July–September is monsoon — green and cheap but humid. Festival bonuses: Diwali (Oct/Nov), Pushkar Camel Fair (Nov), Jaipur Literature Festival (Jan), Holi (Mar).
    The Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays — really?
    Yes, closed every Friday. We plan your Agra day around it, always. Foreigner tickets are modestly priced at the government rate. Sunrise entry (~6–6:30am) beats the crowds and the heat — East Gate is the move.
    How bad is Delhi's air in November–December?
    Honestly: bad — AQI regularly passes 300 after Diwali. Keep Delhi to one night in Nov–early Dec, carry N95 masks (we stock the car), and know that Agra, Jaipur and rural Rajasthan are noticeably better. February–March has the same great weather with cleaner air.

    Money

    What's included in your price?
    Car, driver, fuel, tolls, parking, taxes, driver's own food and lodging, airport pickup and drop — one number, no surprises. Packages add hotels with breakfast and local guides. Monument tickets are government-priced and listed separately so you see exactly where money goes.
    Cash, card or UPI — what do I need?
    Cards work at hotels and bigger restaurants; markets, tips and street food run on cash. Withdraw some cash at a bank ATM on arrival and keep small notes handy. Tourists can even use India's QR payments via UPI One World — ask us, we'll set you up.
    How does tipping work?
    Appreciated, never demanded. Rough guide: a small daily lump sum for your driver at the end if you're happy; a little for city guides and porters; around 5–10% in restaurants when no service charge is added.

    Safety & health

    Is it safe for solo women travellers?
    Our most-asked question. The same vetted driver stays with you door-to-door all trip — no strangers, no taxi roulette, arrival pickup even at 2am. You get his number and ours from day one, live location sharing, and a daily check-in. Meet him on a video call before you pay a rupee.
    What scams should I know about?
    The classics: the Jaipur gem scam, “your hotel is closed” taxi diversions, fake “government tourist offices”, and ticket touts. With one trusted driver you simply never meet these people — and he'll tell you the real price of anything.
    Can I drink the water / eat street food?
    Sealed bottled water only — the car is always stocked. Street food: absolutely, at busy stalls your driver vouches for. Skip salads and pre-cut fruit, carry sanitizer, and most stomach wobbles pass in a day.

    On the road

    How long are the drives, really?
    Delhi→Agra 3–4h on the Yamuna Expressway; Agra→Jaipur 4–5h with Fatehpur Sikri en route; Jodhpur→Udaipur 4–5h via the Ranakpur temples. We break every two hours; chai is a feature, not a delay.
    What car will we get?
    A private air-conditioned car with your own driver — an AC sedan (Dzire class) for up to 3 with luggage, or an Innova-class SUV for 3–4 travellers or longer loops. The car in the photos is the actual vehicle.
    Can we change the plan mid-trip?
    Yes — every journey you book with Prince India Tours is fully flexible and can be changed any time, as per your need. Loved Udaipur? Stay another night. Your driver re-plans on the spot, with us on WhatsApp confirming hotels in minutes.
    No match — ask us on WhatsApp: answered within the hour, added here for the next traveller.
