Journey to India’s famous Taj Mahal, a majestic monument to love. Built by a Mughal emperor as a tribute to his late wife, this incredible structure continually astounds visitors with its inspiring architecture and remains one of the world's finest examples of Islamic art. Beginning in Delhi, journey to Agra to see this iconic sight, enjoying plenty of sightseeing along the way. Watch the sunrise over the Taj before taking a trip to the magnificent sandstone Red Fort and experiencing the expansive deserted city of Fatehpur Sikri. Returning to Delhi, sample spicy curries and bargain at markets to get a feel for the unforgettable culture, colour, and character of India.

An excellent extension to our longer stay in India. Our driver Raza and guide in Agra, Khurram, were both excellent. Really great opportunity to go to the Taj Muhal and Fatehpur Sikri. Hotel in Agra was excellent too. Would highly recommend.

While a little hesitant at first because of our ages, we found the whole tour experience to be both exhilarating and very informative. We'll definitely be back!

This extension is well worth the cost based on stories shared from friends. The tour guides, Ahbi for the old Delhi tour and Khureem in Agra, were both amazing. They were extremely knowledgeable, personable and friendly. We chose the sunrise time for the Taj Mahal and were not disappointed. Thank you.
