Red Fort: Free Audio Guide
Why Visit Red Fort with an Audio Guide?
The Red Fort is a masterpiece of Mughal architecture and a symbol of India’s history. But without the right context, it’s easy to miss its deeper stories. A well-crafted audio guide lets you explore and absorb that history at your own pace.
Tourismo's audio tour uncovers fascinating details that even seasoned guides might miss — from hidden tunnels and royal chambers to the emperor who witnessed the fall of an empire from his marble throne.
