Day 1: Delhi Sightseeing – From Old to New

Meet your professional guide and set out to explore both the historic and modern sides of Delhi. Start with the lively lanes of Old Delhi, visiting Jama Masjid—one of India’s largest mosques—followed by a rickshaw ride through the bustling Chandni Chowk market. Drive past the Red Fort (view from outside), then visit Raj Ghat, the serene memorial to Mahatma Gandhi.

In New Delhi, marvel at colonial-era architecture as you pass by India Gate, the President’s House (Rashtrapati Bhavan), and the Parliament House. Visit Humayun’s Tomb, a stunning example of Mughal architecture and a precursor to the Taj Mahal. End your Delhi tour with a stop at Qutub Minar, the tallest brick minaret in the world, surrounded by ancient ruins and Indo-Islamic carvings.

In the late afternoon or early evening, begin your drive to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway. Arrive in Agra by night, check into your hotel, and relax after a full day of sightseeing.

Day 2: Agra – The City of the Taj Mahal

Wake up early for a sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal, the world-famous symbol of love built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. Watch as the soft morning light bathes the white marble in a golden glow, creating a truly magical experience. Your guide will share the romantic history and intricate details of this masterpiece.

Return to your hotel for breakfast, then continue your Agra exploration with a visit to Agra Fort, a UNESCO-listed red sandstone fortress that served as a royal residence. Walk through its elegant halls and courtyards while learning about the Mughal dynasty’s legacy.

Optional visits include Mehtab Bagh (a garden with a rear view of the Taj across the Yamuna River) or local artisan workshops where you can see traditional marble inlay work.

In the afternoon, begin your return journey to Delhi, arriving by evening with unforgettable memories of two of India’s most iconic cities. This 2-day private tour offers a perfect blend of history, architecture, and personalized comfort, ideal for a short yet enriching cultural escape.
