The tour also includes a visit to Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib, a historic Sikh temple dedicated to Guru Tegh Bahadur. The tour concludes with a pass by the Red Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its red sandstone walls and Mughal architecture. The private nature of the tour ensures that only the booked group participates. Guests should carry valid photo identification for monument entry.
