Sightseeing tour of Old and New Delhi with rickshaw ride
Zip through the old city by rickshaw and begin your tour at the Red Fort, a 300-year-old walled city built by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1648 as his capital. The magnificent fort built of red sandstone dates from the very peak of the Mughal power and served as the royal residence until 1857. Opposite the fort is the black and white dome and minarets of the Jama Masjid, India's largest mosque. Drive past the ruins of Feroz Shah Kotla fort with the Ashokan Pillar dating back to 3rd BC, and end your old city tour with a visit to Raj Ghat where Mahatma Gandhi was laid to rest in 1948.
In New Delhi, visit the capital designed by Sir Edward Lutyens and drive past the Presidential Palace, the Rashtrapati Bhawan and the secretariat buildings - the center of all government activity. Here you'll see Qutab Minar, representing the first Islamic monument that marked a shift of power in the country. While exclusively Islamic in conception, its execution was the work of Hindus, and its unique designs accompany arabesque verses of the Quran, in a synthesis of two distinct styles meeting for the first time.
Day 3. Delhi - Agra
Today you will be transferred from Dehli to Agra, a city situated on the west bank of the River Yamuna and part of the great Northern Indian plains. The architectural splendor of the city is reflected in the glorious monuments of medieval India built by great Mughals who ruled India for more than 300 years.

At night, enjoy a meal of spicy chicken Vindaloo with light and airy naan - Indian cuisine is famously fiery and flavorful.
A Tip For Your Trip: The Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays.
Visit to Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Tomb of Etimad-ud-Daula
Bask in the incredible lacy white grandeur of the Taj Mahal, perhaps one of the most astounding architectural wonders of the world. Mughal emperor Shah Jahan constructed this extravagant and incomparable mausoleum in honor of his late wife and to this day it stands as a monument to love.
From the Taj, head to the Agra Fort situated on the banks of the river Yamuna. Constructed by Emperor Akbar in 1565, the palaces, mosques and audience halls contained within its massive red sandstone walls are prime examples of blending Islamic and Hindu traditions. Agra Fort served as the primary home of the Mughal dynasty until 1638, when the capital was moved to Delhi.
End your visit at the Tomb of Etimad-ud-Daula, nicknamed the "Baby Taj" for its exquisite white marble exterior inlaid with semi-precious stones. Built between 1622 and 1628, the mausoleum was erected by Emperor Jahangir’s queen Nurjahan in memory of her father Mirza Ghias Beg, a Persian nobleman.

Built in the 16th century, this historic site was erected during the reign of Emperor Akbar and was intended to be the joint capital with Agra, but was soon deserted because the water system could not support any of its residents. The city has remained virtually untouched for over 400 years and serves as a reminder of the extravagance of the Mughals. Explore the mosque, still in use, and the three palaces, one for each of Akbar's favorite wives.
Jaipur rickshaw ride

The ornamental five-story palace is built of pink sandstone and encrusted with fine trellis work and elaborate balconies. It was built in 1799 by Pratap Singh as a palace for the royal women to watch the processions and daily life of the city.
