This journey offers you the chance to see one of the Seven Wonders of the World up close and enjoy the cultural and historical richness of Agra. Comfortable travel, expert guidance, and unforgettable experiences – all in one day.
Your private chauffeur will pick you up from your hotel or location in Delhi, Noida, or Gurgaon. Sit back and relax in your air-conditioned car as you begin your journey towards Agra via the smooth and scenic Yamuna Expressway (approx. 3 hours). A short tea/coffee break can be taken along the way if you wish.
Upon arrival in Agra, you'll be welcomed by your local professional tour guide who will accompany you throughout the sightseeing. Take a moment to freshen up before starting your exploration of the city of love and legacy.
Begin your day in Agra with a visit to the crown jewel of India – the Taj Mahal. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was commissioned in 1632 by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. Admire the intricate marble inlay work, the symmetry of Mughal architecture, and the beautiful reflection in the lotus pond. Your guide will share emotional tales and architectural insights that bring the monument to life.
After exploring the Taj Mahal, treat yourself to a relaxing lunch at a local multi-cuisine restaurant or a 5-star hotel such as Courtyard Marriott or ITC Mughal. Enjoy traditional Mughlai delicacies or continental options based on your preference.
Next, explore the majestic Agra Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. This red sandstone fortress served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors for generations. Discover the Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience), Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), Jahangir’s Palace, and the Khas Mahal, while enjoying a panoramic view of the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna River.
Visit the exquisite Itimad-ud-Daulah, fondly called the “Baby Taj.” This elegant white marble tomb was built by Nur Jahan for her father and is often considered a draft of the Taj Mahal. Its delicate carvings, lattice work, and peaceful garden setting make it a hidden gem in Agra.
Before departing, you’ll have the opportunity to explore Agra’s local markets known for marble souvenirs, hand-knotted carpets, leather goods, and semi-precious stone inlay work. Your guide can take you to government-approved shops to ensure quality and authenticity.
After a memorable day exploring Agra’s rich heritage, begin your return journey to Delhi via the Yamuna Expressway. Enjoy the scenic countryside views along the way. Upon arrival in Delhi around 8:30–9:00 PM, you will be dropped off at your hotel or preferred location. Tour ends with wonderful memories of the Taj Mahal and Mughal grandeur.
