Fatehpur SikriFirst we visit The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Fatehpur Sikri is approximately 1-hour from Agra. It has been described as “the world’s most perfectly preserved ghost town," you'll have the option to learn about this ghost town from your guide. Built by Akbar in the late 16th century, it was abandoned after only 14 years, and the elegant buildings of this superb walled city remain intact to this day.

Taj MahalNext we visit visit the magnificent Taj Mahal (Closed on Fridays), a UNESCO World Heritage Site one of the Seven Wonders of the World and surely the most extravagant expression of love ever created. 20,000 men laboured for over 17 years to build this memorial to Shah Jahan's beloved wife. It's a wealth of white marble and semi-precious stone – « undoubtedly the highlight of the tour ».
