Full Day Excursion to the Taj Mahal & Agra Fort

Multi Day Tour

Explore Taj Mahal and Agra Fort

This morning, depart for Agra, the capital of the Mughal Empire during the 16th and 17th centuries. While Agra's fame is closely tied to the Mughals, its roots trace back much further, with links to the Mahabharata period around 3000 BC. Historically known as Akbarabad, the city rose to prominence under the Mughal dynasty, serving as home to three generations of rulers, each leaving a distinct mark on its legacy. Agra boasts some of the finest examples of Mughal architecture in India, with the Taj Mahal standing as its most celebrated masterpiece. Upon arrival, explore the magnificent Agra Fort, constructed by Emperor Akbar between 1565 and 1573. This imposing structure, with its massive red sandstone walls, grand gates, and surrounding moat, dominates the heart of the city. The fort holds significant historical importance, including the imprisonment of Emperor Shah Jahan by his son Aurangzeb. Shah Jahan spent his final days in the luxurious Muasamman Burj, a marble tower offering a stunning view of the Taj Mahal. Later, visit the iconic Taj Mahal to witness its ethereal beauty, especially as it glows in the light of the rising sun. Built over 22 years by more than 20,000 artisans, this white marble mausoleum was commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who passed away at age 39 while giving birth to their fourteenth child. The Taj Mahal's unparalleled elegance and intricate craftsmanship leave an unforgettable impression as you enter through its majestic gateway. After completing your sightseeing, drive back to Delhi.

This morning, experience the sharp contrast between the architecture of New Delhi, also known as "Lutyens' Delhi," and the older parts of the city. Designed in 1911 and inaugurated in 1931, this well-planned area combines British and Indian architectural styles. Along the grand avenue now known as Kartavya Path (formerly Raj Path), you'll find the British War Memorial Arch, popularly known as India Gate. This iconic structure commemorates the 90,000 Indian soldiers who sacrificed their lives during World War I while serving in the British Army. At the opposite end of the avenue stands Rashtrapati Bhavan, originally built as the residence for the British Viceroy and now serving as the official home of the President of India.

Kolkata's Iconic Sights, Art and Pottery Tour

The day begins with a visit to the impressive Howrah Bridge, a cantilevered structure spanning the Hooghly River, connecting Kolkata with the industrial town of Howrah. This bustling bridge sees 80,000 vehicles and over 1 million pedestrians crossing each day, along with countless cattle and bicycles. Beneath the eastern end of the Howrah Bridge lies Mullik Ghat, a vibrant and photogenic flower market. Over 125 years old, it is the largest flower market in East India, with around 3,000 flower growers from surrounding areas selling their goods daily. The scene is a feast for the senses: vibrant garlands of marigolds in yellow and orange are carried by women on their heads or arms, men unload trucks, and baskets of flowers are carried with grace up the steps leading to the bridge. Below, life flows along the river as men, women, and children wash, pray, work, and eat amidst the hustle and bustle. It's a captivating experience, but be mindful of where you step as the market teems with activity! Next, we head to Kumartolly, Kolkata's famous potter's colony, where skilled artisans create clay idols of Hindu gods and goddesses for religious ceremonies and festivals. Traditionally, families would invite the potter to stay with them for weeks before a festival, where he would sculpt the idol in their presence. Every morning, the family would gather to watch the transformation of a mass of clay and straw into a divine figure. The most intriguing part of the process was the painting of the goddess's third eye - done in a meditative state with one swift stroke of the brush. Next, we explore the Marble Palace, an exquisite mansion built in 1835 by Raja Rajendra Mullick Bahadur, one of Bengal's wealthiest landlords. The palace's grand architecture and stunning artistry will leave you in awe. After the palace tour, we visit an art collector's home to delve deeper into Kolkata's rich cultural heritage. Our host, has turned her 1901 apartment into a living museum of art and antiques. With high ceilings and spacious rooms, her home is adorned with colorful masks from around the world, and the living room opens onto a large veranda overlooking Shahid Minar and Eden Gardens. For the past two decades, this space has hosted exclusive home dining experiences, offering a personal and immersive way to discover Kolkata's food and culture. This unique dining concept offers a more intimate alternative to restaurants and allows visitors to explore a different side of Kolkata beyond its common associations. After this enriching cultural experience, we'll enjoy lunch with our host and then return to your hotel for some rest. In the evening, take a stroll down Park Street, Kolkata's lively hub of entertainment and dining, lined with historic restaurants. After exploring the area, you will have dinner at Mocambo, a heritage restaurant renowned for its Continental cuisine.

Next, we head to the iconic Victoria Memorial Hall, an enduring monument to colonialism that rises majestically through the city's haze. Built in memory of Queen Victoria, Empress of India, by Sir William Emerson in the early 20th century, it is a prime example of Indo-Gothic architecture, blending Mughal elements with Victorian design. The memorial houses an extensive collection of British Raj paintings and memorabilia. Set amidst 64 acres of meticulously maintained gardens, it's a perfect place to relax and immerse yourself in history. This expansive green space is also home to a lively mix of goats, cows, cricket players, footballers, horse riders, street vendors, and picnickers - offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of Kolkata. The next stop takes us to Kusum's Roll, a renowned Kati Roll shop, where you can customize your roll with a choice of egg, chicken, mutton, vegetables, or cottage cheese. We then visit the famous food counters at Vardaan Market, known for its delicious Puchkas (Indian-style panipuri), Chilla (savory pancakes), and other street food favorites. Finally, indulge your sweet tooth at Balaram and Radharamon Mullick, a legendary Bengali sweet shop that has been serving delectable sweets for nearly a century. Known for their light, cottage cheese-based sweets with minimal sugar, this is a must-try stop for anyone seeking to experience the authentic flavors of Kolkata.

Like Mumbai and Kolkata, it is a modern creation, established by the East India Company in 1639 near the ancient Tamil port of Mylapore and the Portuguese settlement of San Thome.

Your first stop is Fort St. George, a British-built stronghold that now serves as the Tamil Nadu Government Secretariat and Legislative Assembly. This historic site features 20-foot walls, St. Mary's Church - India's oldest Anglican church - and the Fort St. George Museum, showcasing artifacts from the British era.

The scenic shore road leads to the Basilica of San Thome, a striking neo-Gothic church with a barrel-vaulted ceiling, built on the site of earlier churches, possibly established by Nestorian Christians from Persia in the 10th century. The basilica is believed to house the remains of St. Thomas the Apostle, famously known as Doubting Thomas. He is said to have arrived in India in AD 52, living and preaching in Mylapore. Inside the church, an intriguing depiction of Jesus in Indian style shows Him seated on a lotus, surrounded by peacocks. Next, immerse yourself in the cultural richness of Chennai with a visit to Dakshinachitra, a premier heritage museum and cultural center showcasing Indian arts, crafts, and architecture.

Exceptional Customer Service, Accountability, and Leadership — Thank You, Goway Travel! As a Canadian travel advisor with Discover Joy Travel, affiliated with TravelOnly, I want to recognize three exceptional individuals at Goway Travel: Jaime Vargas-Hernandez (Destination Specialist – North America and Latin America), Sean Hebert (Vice President, The Americas), and Jason Stratford (Business Development Manager). I recently booked a cross-Canada vacation for my clients, and while the itinerary offered many wonderful experiences, there were several unexpected challenges along the way, particularly involving transportation, transfers, and certain aspects of the overall travel experience. As a travel advisor, one of the most difficult situations is hearing that your clients are disappointed, especially when you've worked hard to create a memorable and seamless vacation for them. What truly impressed me was how Goway responded when things didn't go as planned. From the beginning, Jaime was responsive, professional, and genuinely committed to addressing our concerns. He listened carefully, communicated with the appropriate teams, and made sure our clients' feedback was taken seriously. Jason Stratford was equally supportive, demonstrating the value of having a Business Development Manager who genuinely advocates for travel advisors and their clients. I also want to extend my sincere appreciation to Sean Hebert, Vice President of The Americas, for his outstanding leadership and personal attention to our situation. His involvement demonstrated that customer satisfaction and accountability are priorities at Goway, even at the executive level. What impressed me most was that Goway didn't simply acknowledge the challenges — they listened, took ownership, and made a genuine effort to rebuild our clients' confidence and trust. In fact, despite the difficulties they experienced, my clients were so impressed with how Goway handled their concerns that they expressed interest in booking another international vacation through them, with another couple potentially joining! To me, that speaks volumes. Exceptional customer service isn't about everything going perfectly. It's about how a company responds when things go wrong. As a travel advisor, I value supplier relationships built on trust, transparency, accountability, and genuine care for travellers. Knowing that I have a team willing to listen, take responsibility, and work toward a resolution gives me greater confidence when recommending Goway to my clients. Jaime, Jason, and Sean — thank you for your professionalism, patience, dedication, and for making me feel genuinely supported as a travel advisor. You didn't just help resolve a difficult situation; you helped restore confidence and strengthen a valuable business relationship. Goway is fortunate to have individuals like you representing the company. I look forward to continuing our partnership and creating many more memorable travel experiences for our clients. Highly recommended — not because everything was perfect, but because Goway demonstrated what genuine accountability, strong leadership, and exceptional customer service should look like. — Evangeline Fiset Discover Joy Travel | TravelOnly Fort St. John, British Columbia, CanadaEvangeline de Torres - Fiset
