You drive between Old Delhi’s bazaars and New Delhi’s wide avenues in a private air‑conditioned vehicle, which keeps the day comfortable and flexible.

Later you visit Itmad‑ud‑Daulah’s Tomb, often called the “Baby Taj,” which showcases delicate inlay work and riverside views that preview the artistry of the Taj Mahal. You spend the rest of the evening at leisure, perhaps enjoying the hotel’s lawns, spa, or rooftop views of the city.

You explore the complex with your guide, who explains its love story, symbolism, and architectural details as you move through the gardens and marble platforms.
After breakfast you continue to Agra Fort, the former Mughal seat of power, where palaces, halls, and ramparts overlook the Yamuna River and offer distant views of the Taj. In the afternoon you enjoy free time for shopping, café visits, or optional local experiences before you return to your heritage hotel for the night.
