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.

We have recently returned from a multi centre holiday in Thailand. Everything went smoothly as planned, the hotels were all lovely. We would definitely recommend eShores and would book through them in the future. Thanks to Laura who organised the trip for us.

I booked two holidays in 4 months with Dave at eshores. First one a 16 day trip around Vietnam north to south which included numerous flights and taxis. My second holiday was in October traveling around Vietnam again and Cambodia. Every hotel in both countries was spot on, every transfer went smooth with no problems. I'll Definitely use eshores again and thanks to Dave who arranged everything, a fantastic experience 👍👍

Recently booked a four centre holiday to Asia. The process was straightforward and seamless. Rob, the agent who dealt with our requirements was extremely helpful and not pushy. He was very easy to talk with and seemed genuinely interested in our plans. He managed to put together exactly what we wanted and at a great price.

First time I have used eshores and it won't be the last. Emma was so helpful in booking my 3 centre holiday to Portugal. Really pleased with accommodation selected and the overall cost. Emma was very quick to respond with different options and I'm looking forward to our holiday next year. I highly recommend this company

We have just booked a trip to the Far East having previously used this company twice, Vietnam/Cambodia and a Road Trip in the USA. Both trips were problem free with all aspects going to plan. Easy to talk to and never pushing for a decision. A lovely company , thank you Dave for your time and assistance.

We booked what appeared to be a busy holiday to South Africa and Mauritius. This consisted of five different fights and hotels with the various transfers included. Rachael organised the holiday for us and every aspect of the trip went well. Took a lot of the stress out and allowed us to have a fantastic holiday. Friendly,Professional service with professional staff. Will use them again.
