View tour details >Perched on a hill high above Agra, the Agra Fort was one of India's most important defensive structures. The country was also governed from here and the grounds were home to a state treasury and mint. The foundations of the current complex were laid between 1565 and 1573 on the remains of earlier Rajput fortifications. The fort complex is sometimes referred to as a 'walled city', due to its sheer size, and the number of different buildings within the grounds.
Incredibly, the walls encompass approximately a square mile, and are more than 60 feet (18 metre) high all round. Although not all of the complex is open to visitors, there are still a number of impressive buildings to look around, including the magnificent Jahangiri Mahal. This particular palace was designed for the ladies of the royal family.
Wonderful experience from start to finish. Thoroughly enjoyed our adventure through India
Superb holiday, well-organised, excellent hotels and good tour manager. Completely trouble free and very enjoyable.
Well organised, best holiday ever. Shaju and Phil worked so hard to make everyone feel included and cared for, information was shared at the right time and in the right amounts. Definitely doing this again.

Ah, tea drinking. That Great British tradition. So passionate are we about tea that the American’s knew that we’d get very annoyed with them if they were to throw it in Boston Harbour way back when.

Though we don’t really think about streets on a daily basis unless we’re trying to get to somewhere, it’s amazing just how many streets in the world can be a holiday destination in themselves.
