Your private tour guide and driver will be waiting for you right at the platform with a name board. Relax in your private AC car as your guide introduces you to Agra and the day’s plan on the way to your first stop.
Enter the grounds of the Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, this breathtaking white marble tomb took over 20 years to complete.
Your guide will walk you through its history, Mughal architecture, and the stunning garden complex. Battery-operated carts are available for seniors and guests with limited mobility.
Visit the magnificent Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built in red sandstone by Emperor Akbar and expanded by later Mughal rulers. This grand fortress was the main residence of Mughal emperors and their royal court. Explore its audience halls, palaces, and beautiful gardens as your guide brings Mughal history to life.
Stop for a relaxed lunch at a local restaurant. Your guide or driver can recommend the best spots in Agra, whether you prefer North Indian classics or something lighter.
Visit the Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah, often called the Baby Taj because of its striking resemblance to the Taj Mahal. Built for a Mughal nobleman, this elegant white marble structure is covered in intricate inlay work using precious and semi-precious stones, a decorative art form known as Parchin Kari (stone inlay). Your guide will explain this remarkable art that also adorns the Taj Mahal.
Your driver will drop you at Agra Cantt Railway Station for your return journey to Delhi by train. Upon arrival in Delhi, a driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel or the airport.
