Your Itinerary —
Day 1: Arrival Delhi
On arrival in Delhi, you will be met by your transfer and then take to your hotel. Delhi is a city where time travel is feasible, so step aboard your time machine (the sleek and efficient metro), and go from Old Delhi, where labourers haul sacks of spices and jewellers weigh gold on dusty scales, to modern New Delhi, with its colonial-era parliament buildings and penchant for high tea.
Overnight stay at the hotel.
Breakfast at the hotel. Take a full day of sightseeing (in private car) at a relaxed pace. Visit the city’s sights, from the Humayun’s Tomb to the towering Qutb Minar and the British Raj-era India Gate, the best way to get a feel for the capital’s dynamism is by walking through its streets and bazaars. Two of the most vibrant are Chandni Chowk in Old Delhi and New Delhi’s Paharganj.
Overnight stay at the hotel.
Breakfast at the hotel. Depart for Agra by car. Agra is a city on the banks of the river Yamuna in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, India. Visit Agra Fort - Agra Fort (sometimes called the Red Fort), was commissioned by the conquering Mughal Emperor Akbar the Great in 1565, and is another of Agra's World Heritage Sites. Notable buildings in the fort include the Pearl Mosque or Motī Masjid, the Dīwān-e-'Ām and Dīwān-e-Khās (halls of public and private audience), Jahāngīr's Palace, Khās Mahal, Shīsh Mahal (mirrored palace), and the Musamman Burj - the forbidding exteriors of this fort conceal an inner paradise. The fort is a typical example of Mughal architecture, effectively showing how the North Indian style of fort construction differed from that of the South.

Breakfast at the hotel. Take a morning visit to the Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal is one of the most famous buildings in the world, the mausoleum of Shah Jahan's favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It is one of the Seven Wonders of the world, and one of the three World Heritage Sites in Agra. Agra is commonly identified as the "City of Taj". The magnificent Taj Mahal is, unsurprisingly, Agra’s premier sight, and nothing can prepare you for the sheer scale and regal splendour of the structure up close.
Post lunch, take an afternoon visit to I'timād-Ud-Daulah. The Empress Nūr Jahān built I'timād-Ud-Daulah's Tomb, sometimes called the "Baby Taj", for her father, Mirzā Ghiyās Beg, the Chief Minister of the Emperor Jahāngīr.
