No need to find one - they will find you !!.We did an organised trip so all guides were sorted in advance,but it still didn't stop us being approached.
If you ask at the place you are staying they will have/know someone who will be your guide,other than that a taxi driver will stay with you for the day(fix a price before you book him) this shouldn't break the bank for you either £20-30 maybe?
If you have an idea about Delhi and anything you wish to see then let them know it will make it easier -do a good internet search of what to visit including shopping areas museums and the govenment buildings/parks etc..

Thanks for the info Spike i plan to go to Agra from Delhi by train and then hire a car and driver in Agra to drive to Jaipur. Ithink its about a four hour drive have you any info on the cost or somewhere nice and clean to stop for lunch or to break the journey :?:

No sorry,as i said all was organised for us.Best bet when you get a guide is to ask them for tourist accomodation and restaurants - they never seem to fail on any request.
After visiting Goa,Delhi is an eye opener to the 'real' India,the restaurants we were advised to go in were tourist based (supposedly the food was of a better standard we were told),but saw many local places with western travellers,so can't be too bad.Our accomodation was not over exciting to look at from the outside,but the room was really modern and good quality.
Only wish we had more time there to discover and explore the sites,2 days not long enough in my opinion,if you are booking everything yourselves ,but have fun !! hope others can help you more - Spike.

hi
there are lots of places in Delhi and around Delhi to see
the first thing which come to ur mind is...Taj Mahal
its 4-5 hrs frm Delhi by Tourist Bus or Taxi
u have trains frm Delhi to Agra
the people are very mean and wud tell u places of their interest which cud fetch them more money frm u
Hotels and other things u need to book in advance...
try to search Hotels in Delhi and u will get lods of them
See the Red Fort , India Gate, Qutab Minar, Museums and other places in Delhi
its cold in December and u wud enjoy then being there in Summer with temp over 45 degree celcius
its nice if u have a guide, u have less people chasing and harssing u then.
have a nice time in Delhi .
