Guide

The aim of our local guides is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. On this Short Break Adventure you will get to enjoy the variety of having someone different for each day and/or activity. They will be able to provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and, where possible, introduce you to our local friends. You can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the places visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects.

Accommodation

The style of accommodation indicated in the day-to-day itinerary is a guideline only and may change. On some occasions, alternative arrangements may need to be made due to the lack of availability of rooms in our preferred accommodation. In these cases, we will use a similar standard of accommodation. Throughout the trip, we request that our properties prepare rooms in time for our arrival, especially if weโ€™re arriving prior to normal check-in time. However, this isnโ€™t always possible which means we wonโ€™t be able to check-in immediately on arrival at some hotels. Instead, we can store our luggage and explore our new destination or on some trips, have use of shared day rooms until all rooms are available. ACCOMMODATION: The hotel accommodation on this trip is in air-conditioned rooms. Some areas of India experience daily load shedding. This is where the power may be turned off at certain times of the day and usually occurs for a few hours in the early afternoon. Most hotel properties have a restaurant or cafe serving local meals. Many restaurants and hotels do not serve alcohol for religious reasons or due to local laws. SHOWERS: Showers at some hotels only have hot water at peak times (usually morning and evening). Outside of these times, you may need to speak to reception to obtain hot water. WIFI: Generally, WiFi is available in most parts of India and at most of the accommodation we use. Sometimes itโ€™s free in the room, other times only available in reception or public areas. A general rule of thumb is the more expensive the hotel, the higher charge for WiFi access. Your group leader or local representative can assist locally in accessing the internet. ISSUES: If you have any issues with your room, please speak to the hotel and your group leader or local representative right away rather than your travel agent so that the problem can be addressed without delay.

Itinerary of your trip Taj Mahal Extension

  • Day 1 Day 1: Delhi - Agra
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Delhi - Agra

      Namaste! Welcome to India. Make your way to the joining point by 9 am this morning. Youโ€™ll then immediately start your tour of Old Delhi with your English-speaking guide. Drive to the heart of the city, which pulses with the energy and colour of the bazaars. Maybe ride a rickshaw around the back streets to experience the hustle and bustle of everyday life. After, stop for an optional lunch before departing Delhi at around 2 pm for the drive to Agra. When you arrive, check into your hotel and organise tomorrowโ€™s Taj Mahal visit with your local representative. The rest of the afternoon and evening is free to explore Agra at your own pace.

  • Day 2 Day 2: Taj Mahal - Agra
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Taj Mahal - Agra

      If you opt to view the Taj Mahal at sunrise, youโ€™ll be met at your hotel at about 6 am by your guide who will accompany you. Alternatively, if you opt for the later 2 pm visit, your guide will meet you at around 8.30 am, so you can visit the Red Fort first). The Taj Mahal is one of the Seven Wonders of the World and a masterpiece of white marble, set among formal gardens. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial to his wife Mumtaz, this โ€™teardrop on the face of eternityโ€™ (as it was described by writer Rabindranath Tagore) lives up to all expectations. Then, visit the Agra Fort on the banks of the Yamuna River โ€“ constructed in 1565 by Emperor Akbar, the fort was originally designed to be a military structure. It was converted to a palace in Emperor Shah Jahanโ€™s time and eventually became his prison after he lost power in 1658. You have a free afternoon to relax or explore the back lanes of Agra, visit the Taj again or watch local artisans and villagers making handicrafts, marble inlay work or carpets. A visit to Sheroes Cafe, which provides employment for women who have been affected by acid attacks, is also highly recommended.

  • Day 3 Day 3: Fatehpur Sikri - Delhi
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: Fatehpur Sikri - Delhi

      After breakfast, youโ€™ll be met by your guide who will assist in checking you out of your hotel. Travel by private vehicle towards Delhi, stopping at the deserted Mughal kingdom of Fatehpur Sikri along the way. Built by Emperor Akbar in 1569, it was abandoned after 15 years due to the scarcity of water. A highlight of the settlement is Jama Masjid โ€“ a striking mosque featuring elements of both Persian and Hindu design. The main entrance of the mosque is the impressive 54 m-high Buland Darwaza (the Gate of Victory), constructed to commemorate Akbarโ€™s military victory in Gujarat. After, your guide will bid you farewell as you begin your journey back to Delhi. Youโ€™ll be dropped off at your hotel, at about 3 pm. If youโ€™d like to extend your stay and need additional accommodation, just get in touch with your booking agent ahead of time.
