Agra is synonymous with the Taj Majal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World and it is hardly surprising therefore that the city is one of the most visited tourist destinations in India. Forming one side of the ‘Golden Triangle’ tour of India (the other cities being Delhi and Mumbai) any multi-centre holiday to India would be incomplete without a visit to see the incredible architecture Agra has to offer.

Description
Agra is located in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India and offers tourists the opportunity to visit three of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites – including of course the Taj Mahal and also Agra fort and Fatehpur Sikri. It is situated on the banks of River Yamuna and was once the capital of the Mughal Empire.
The Taj Mahal, arguably the most beautiful building in the world, was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a loving memory to his third wife. Many say it is best seen at dawn break when the sun is rising as the building appears to gradually change colour with the changing light.
Near the gardens of the Taj Mahal stands another of the major sights of Agra, Agra Fort. Built from red sandstone, the fort encompasses the Imperial city of the Mughal and the buildings inside are real architectural gems most notably the Jahangir Palace and the Khas Mahal which was the private residence of the Mughal King Shah Jahan himself.
The Fatehpur Sikri, situated just outside of Agra, once briefly served as the capital of the Mughal Empire but was abandoned and left as a ghost city. It contains some buildings and monuments of amazing architectural quality.

Nick was very helpful in finding us a suitable 2 centre holiday in Greece. He quickly amended the original quote when we had to change the dates. He was very approachable, polite and friendly.

Matt really helped with our booking. Nothing was too much trouble. Every time we changed our mind (which was quite a few) he rearranged the plans and got back to us promptly. I will definitely use this company again.

Have just booked with eShores for the second time. Gavin planned a three week Caribbean Island hopping trip earlier this year which was fantastic and very well organised. We decided to do the same thing again and look forward to our next trip in January. Would definitely recommend this company and use them again.

Eshore’s are an excellent company I can’t praise them enough, especially Adam who has been amazing. He was really patient as I’m indecisive and changed my mind several times. He persevered and found us a dream holiday and put together great itinerary covering every aspect of our journey . Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances we had to cancel the trip and Adam went above and beyond to recoup as much as possible for us. It was a huge help & felt very personal as if he were a friend. We have rescheduled the holiday & will use Eshores for all future trips’

I had never heard of eshores till I decided to plan a multi-stop holiday in Turkey some weeks ago. The decision to use eshores was based on a quick internet search for any help I could get with this. So, i wasnt really expecting much. As the planning was at relatively short notice...and we had never travelled to Turkey, I was pleasantly surprised at the support I had from Rachel at eshores who listened to what I wanted and was patient to go back and forth with me till I had the exact holiday I wanted (Istanbul, Ankara and Antalya). I always had a response with every query(and I had quite a few!!). The travel itself worked like a dream...both international and domestic flights were straightforward, but even more surprising was how reliable the multiple taxis to and fro airports were, even when picking up at 0330!! Overall, the experience has been very positive and I would be very happy to use the service again
