Delhi India Tours With roots dating as far back as 1000 B.C., Delhi is now an exciting mixture of ancient and modern. The city is divided into two distinctive areas, Old Delhi and New Delhi, which both have their own distinctive characteristics, history and sites. Old Delhi is characterized by its magnificent Mughal monuments, especially the Red Fort and the imposing Jama Masjid. The vicinity of the colorful, crowded Chowk Market is best explored by cycle rickshaw, which could take you through villages and small narrow alleys with their amazing variety of treasures. On the other side of Delhi are more continuities of the Mughal architectural legacy. To reach these, you must pass through the more modern Delhi filled with Edwin Lutyen’s creations—the graceful Parliament House, Rashtrapati Bhavan and the India Gate. New Delhi is the capital of India and home to nearly 16 million Indians. The city is also home to the largest bureaucracy in the world and is the nation’s primary center for fine and cultural arts.

Long renowned as the city of the Taj Mahal - unrivalled in its splendor throughout the world, the ancient city of Agra traces its inception to the time of the Mahabharat. Agra came into prominence when Sikandar Lodhi made it his capital in 1501. The Mughal Empire is primarily responsible for Agra’s magnificent palaces, forts and mausoleums all over the city –each with its own story! Explore these monuments at your own pace—Agra holds a lot of history! Visit beautiful monuments such as the red sandstone Agra Fort, built by the Mughal dynasty's greatest Emperor, Akbar, in 1565. A number of the fort’s beautiful palaces, mosques and gardens were built by his successors in later years. A few of the priceless examples of artisanship from the Mughal era include the exquisite Moti Masjid or Pearl Mosque, the Diwan-i-Khas, the Diwan-i-Am, the Jahangir Mahal and the Shish Mahal. We give you the option of starting each day in the “City of Kings” with a visit to the Taj Mahal. Emperor Shah Jahan built this pristine white marble mausoleum in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It is one of the Seven Wonders of the World and had taken 22 years and over 20,000 skilled craftsmen from all over the world to create. The mausoleum of Emperor Akbar at Sikandra represents his philosophy and secular outlook while fusing the best of Hindu and Muslim architectures. Emperor Jehangir’s queen, Nurjahan, constructed an exquisite marble tomb in 1628 for her father, Itmad-ud-daulah. The Itmad-ud-Daulah foreshadows the artisanship and architecture of the Taj Mahal where the same ‘Pietra Dura‘ inlay work on the marble was first used. Our tours include all monument entrance fees for guests. A must-see is Fatehpur Sikri, a red sandstone city built by Akbar in gratitude to the mystic who had blessed him to have a son. The deserted city still contains many reminders of its short yet amazing past.
