Tour Itinerary
Start your day with a convenient pick-up from your hotel or designated location in Agra. Our friendly guide will welcome you and accompany you on your sightseeing journey through the city.
Your tour begins with a visit to the majestic Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World and a timeless symbol of love. Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, this architectural marvel will be introduced to you with a rich history by your guide. Spend 1.5 to 2 hours exploring the intricate details, from the stunning marble inlay work to the symmetrical gardens and serene reflecting pool that frames the mausoleum beautifully. Visiting in the early morning provides a peaceful experience, with fewer visitors and a soft sunrise glow enhancing the Taj Mahal’s beauty.
Next, visit the impressive Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a masterpiece of Mughal architecture. Constructed from striking red sandstone, this formidable structure is encircled by towering walls that reach up to 70 feet. As you explore its key areas—including the Jahangir Mahal, Diwan-i-Am, and the Musamman Burj, which offers a scenic view of the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna River—you’ll gain insight into its dual role as both a royal residence and a vital military stronghold for the Mughal emperors. Agra Fort is an ideal stop for history enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in the grandeur of the Mughal era.
After exploring Agra Fort, proceed to a delightful lunch featuring a variety of healthy options. Savor a delicious spread of both Indian and continental dishes, offering a perfect blend of flavors to suit all tastes.
In the afternoon, visit the Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daula, often called the "Baby Taj" because of its striking resemblance to the Taj Mahal. Built by Empress Nur Jahan in honor of her father, Itimad-ud-Daula, this tomb is a stunning example of Mughal architecture. Nestled within a serene garden, it is renowned for its exquisite marble inlay work, similar to the Taj Mahal. Take time to admire the intricate carvings, the symmetrical design, and the peaceful ambiance of the garden, which features fountains and lush greenery. Spend around an hour here, soaking in the beauty and tranquility of this remarkable site.
Visit Mehtab Bagh and witness a stunning sunset across the Yamuna River. Located directly opposite the Taj Mahal, this peaceful garden offers one of the best views of the iconic monument, especially as the sun sets behind it. The soft golden hues of the evening sky reflect off the Taj Mahal's white marble, creating a magical and serene atmosphere. It’s a perfect spot for photography, relaxation, and soaking in the beauty of this remarkable sight as the day transitions into night.
