Delhi, Agra and Jaipur Sightseeing Tour 

Delhi is India’s capital and a major gateway to the country. Perhaps, there is no other capital city in the world so steeped in history and legend as the Indian capital Delhi. It was the magnet which drew the Mongols, Turks, Persians, Afghans, Mughals and the British, all of whom contributed to its glorious but turbulent past.
