Your experience begins with a personal pickup from your hotel, the airport, or any preferred location in Agra. Greet your friendly guide and driver, then set off on a journey through time.
Your first stop is the Taj Mahal, India’s most famous monument and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As the sun casts a golden glow over its white marble domes, your guide will reveal the emotional love story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal. Take your time to absorb the architectural beauty, delicate inlay work, and peaceful gardens surrounding this wonder of the world.
Next, head to the mighty Agra Fort, an impressive 16th-century fortress made of red sandstone. Walk through royal pavilions, audience halls, and the mirror palace as your guide shares tales of emperors, intrigue, and power that shaped Indian history. Don’t miss the view of the Taj from the fort’s balconies — a perfect photo opportunity.
After working up an appetite, enjoy a relaxing lunch break at one of Agra’s top-rated local restaurants (meal not included unless selected). Choose from a variety of Indian and international dishes, with your guide happy to recommend something delicious.
Continue to the serene Itmad-ud-Daula, also known as the Baby Taj. This smaller marble tomb was the inspiration for the Taj Mahal and showcases intricate lattice windows and delicate floral carvings. It’s a peaceful stop away from the crowds and ideal for travelers who love details and symmetry.
Finally, your driver will drop you back at your hotel, the airport, or any other location in Agra, ending your journey with timeless memories and a deeper appreciation of India’s Mughal splendor.
