  • Taj Mahal - The Taj Mahal was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for being “the jewel of Islamic art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage.” It is considered by many as the finest example of Mughal architecture and a symbol of India’s rich history. The Taj Mahal attracts around 5 million visitors annually, and in 2007 it was declared a winner of the New 7 Wonders of the World initiative. The Taj Mahal complex is believed to have been completed in its entirety in 1653 at an estimated cost of ₹32 million at the time, which would be approximately ₹35 billion in 2023. The construction project employed around 20,000 artisans under the guidance of a board of architects led by Ustad Ahmad Lahori, the emperor’s court architect. Various types of symbolism have been used in the Taj to reflect natural beauty.

Note: After touring the Taj Mahal, the guide will take you to Agra Fort. Travelers can visit either Agra Fort or I’timād-ud-Daulah.

  • Agra Fort - Agra Fort (Red Fort) is a historical fort in the city of Agra, also known as Agra’s Red Fort. Mughal emperor Humayun was crowned at this fort. It was later renovated by Mughal emperor Akbar starting in 1565, with the present-day structure completed in 1573. It served as the main residence of the Mughal dynasty rulers until 1638, when the capital was shifted from Agra to Delhi. It was also known as “Lal Qila” or “Qila Akbari” before being captured by the British. The last Indian rulers to occupy it were the Marathas. In 1983, the Agra Fort was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its significance during the Mughal Dynasty.

Note: After visiting Agra Fort or during the tour, if the traveler wishes to have lunch, the guide will take you to a good quality and hygienic restaurant.

  • Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah - The Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah is a Mughal mausoleum in the city of Agra. Often described as a “jewel box” and sometimes called the “Baby Taj,” the tomb of I’timād-ud-Daulah is often regarded as a draft of the Taj Mahal. The mausoleum was commissioned by Nur Jahan, the wife of Jahangir, for her father Mirza Ghiyas Beg, originally a Persian Amir in exile, who had been given the title of Itimad-ud-Daulah. Mirza Ghiyas Beg was also the grandfather of Mumtaz Mahal, the wife of emperor Shah Jahan, who was responsible for the construction of the Taj Mahal.
  • New Delhi - After visiting all the places on the journey, our chauffeur will bring you back to Delhi and drop you off at the same place where your journey started, such as your hotel or any other specified location. This concludes your journey. Thank you!

Ambassador of India - We were on a business trip in Delhi and spent the afternoons exploring the city. Kashor was our guide, driver and good friend to make us understand the country, the city and get to like Indian people. He knew how to skip the line, how to organise the trip to get the most of it. We are grateful for his helpful ways. Actualy his personalit is the first thing we remember when we recall India.

A very unforgettable day with good company. - The Taj Mahal was amazing and our guide so very knowledgeable. The experience would have been nothing special had I'd done it by myself. ThankQ Kishore our tour driver from Dehli was friendly, professional & also very knowledgeable. It's a long trip there & back and he took us a different way home to show more of the views. He even stopped so my side kick & I could buy a couple of beers each to have in the car 🍻🍻 Very much appreciated !! We had the pleasure also of having his Mother join us for part of the journey home also & she was a delightful addition to the trip. She had even baked for us 🥰 The only negative comment I will make is be wary of where you're taken to view "other" sites after leaving the Taj Mahal. These are stops designed to sell you things. Admittedly the products shown are high quality but you'll need plenty of Rupees with you if you are indeed interested in purchasing.
