I planned a South India tour from Chennai to Kochi. I asked from many different travel companies but I got the best and cheapest offer by 'Way to India'. That was two weeks travel plan. We visited so many wonderful places and we got enough time for some individual program too. In the first week we visited the historical places like temples, museums and some beaches. In the second week we visited amazing natural attraction. All happened at exactly fixed itinerary. We traveled with a comfortable panoramic mini bus and the bus driver (Mr. Ram) was very kind and talented who could manage a good restaurant for dinner and lunch every day. The recommended hotels were correct and better than the chosen category. The connecting with 'Way to India' was a great experience for us and Mr Mohit was very pleasant and flexible for our request. All in all believe that this was the best choice for traveling. I'm sure we'll go back in India again because we found many kind friends at there and we would like to organize travel again by 'way to India'. thanks for all you have done for us thank you so much

It took a year of planning to suit a budget and unique needs for 10 people. Patience and support for that one year and throughout the travel experience was excellent leaving no area wanting.

Thanks Mohit and team!

I am so delighted and grateful that I found Way to India. I was nervous about doing a trip by myself, as a young woman, in the Himalayas and it was important for me to find a trusted company to arrange my trip. I searched long and hard but once I spoke with Mohit at Way to India, I knew I found the perfect company. Every question I had or issue I needed help with was handled immediately, proficiently, with excellent service that really went above and beyond. All of the people connected with the company that I met or spoke with are extremely helpful, friendly and an absolute pleasure to deal with. The itinerary created was just perfectly tailored for what I wanted and was done with a lot of thought and care. They stayed connected with me through the entire trip to make sure everything was going well. Really, I did not have to worry or think about anything. I will use them every time I come back to India! I highly recommend to all my friends and family and to anyone who wants a memorable visit to India.

Thanks to Waytoindia for 10 day in Rajasthan- Jaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Udaipur, Mount Abu and Ahmedabad. Everything from pickup from Jaipur airport to drop at Ahmedabad airport was very smooth. The hotels booked in Jaipur and Udaipur were amazing. In Jaisalmer the camel ride and Jeep safari though a bit expensive was a good experience. The car and the driver for the entire 10 days was very good. Thanks to the driver Mahesh, who drove the 2 ladies for the entire 10 days safely and dropped us in time for the return flight to Bangalore.

Overall it was a memorable trip customized by Way2india for us. Thanks to Ankit.

The Taj Mahal: The very thought of Agra tour invokes the bliss and joy of witnessing one of the 7 Wonders of the World – The Taj Mahal. Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in loving memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal, Taj Mahal is an epitome of love and timeless beauty. The white-marble edifice stands proof of Mughal architecture’s brilliance during the erstwhile era. The Taj Mahal is a must-visit on your Agra Fatehpur Sikri tour.
Agra Fort: While the Taj Mahal is undoubtedly Agra’s most prized possession, there are many other historical monuments in this city that are utterly magnificent and worth a visit. The Agra Fort is one such example which is yet another proof of Mughal architectural splendour. Built of red sandstone, it is also called the Red Fort of Agra.
Itmad-Ud-Daulah: It is the first tomb in India to be built purely out of marble. The tower of the monument showcases Persian touch, influenced by Islamic architectural style. The interior wall paintings are sheer marvel to exhibit.
Tomb of Akbar the Great: It is located in Sikandra, the suburbs of Agra, and exhibits sheer Mughal architectural splendour. The tomb was built from 1605 – 1613 and Emperor Akbar himself commenced building this monument.

Gardens

Mehtab Bagh: The beautiful, lush garden is located just north of the Taj Mahal, overlooking the majestic Agra Fort and the Yamuna River on its opposite side. The stunning views from this garden make it worth visiting on your Agra Fatehpur Sikri tour.

Religious

Best Places to Eat in Agra

The Mandarin: If you love Chinese food, The Mandarin is one of the best places to visit. The interior is warm, cosy and inviting. Besides delectable Chinese delicacies, the restaurant also serves Mughlai food.

Offbeat Things to Do in Agra

Tips to Make Agra Tour Memorable and Hassle-Free

Beware of pickpockets which are most common in the Taj Mahal complex. It is advisable that you do not bring your valuables when you visit the Taj Mahal
Local tourist guides can be really troublesome and nagging at times. Remember, there is nothing like “you have to get a guide.” Avoid fake tourist guides (in name of government registered) who would charge you almost double for entry tickets and other charges.
If the Agra Fatehpur Sikri tour package does not include visit to a nearby Marble Factory, stay away from anyone pushing you to visit it.
While shopping, negotiation is a must. The items are priced almost double here. Moreover, there are many agencies or shops who would say they are run by the government, but are actually not. In fact, a local guide would push you to visit and buy from these stores, but the prices are exorbitantly high.

Places to Visit in Fatehpur Sikri
