Hello nickyhavey - yes I agree with you but when I travel alone I explore the world alone and when with family, due to their food preferences, has to travel by tour operators as they keep Indian Cuisines throughout the tour.
As are aware Indias TAJMAHAL, Agra is one of the 7 wonders of the world. You can visit Tajmahal which comes in Northern Part of India which is very beautiful and has historical places like India Gate, Tajmahal, Red Fort, Kutubminar to name a few. Ideal time to visit India is during winter season from Mid October to Mid Feb.
