Exploring Agra: A Journey through History and Culture with Friends

I belong to New Delhi, India, but now I live in the USA. I have heard many things about the Taj Mahal from friends and want to see it. So when the day came, my friends had already experienced the beauty of the Taj Mahal and urged me to join them in India to witness its grandeur. Despite being a newcomer to India, having my friends by my side made the journey feel secure and exciting. It was a wonderful opportunity to explore this vibrant country.

The trip was meticulously arranged by Experience Tours, who took care of our hotels, Tempo Traveller service, and other related things. Opting for a comprehensive tour package, I was eager to immerse myself in the rich culture and history of India.

Our tour guide, Anant, was a great help, ensuring we visited the city's most renowned landmarks, such as the Tomb of Akbar and Agra Fort, punctually and without any hassle.
