06.30 AM. Pick Up from Hotel in Delhi

Your Agra tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Delhi. Travel comfortably in a private vehicle to the historic city of Agra via the Yamuna Expressway. Upon arrival, you’ll check into your hotel and relax before embarking on a sightseeing tour of Agra’s famous attractions.

Start your Agra sightseeing tour with a visit to the famous Agra Fort, one of the largest and most significant forts constructed during the Mughal era.

Built using red sandstone in the 16th century by Mughal Emperor Akbar, it was later expanded by his successors. Spanning a vast area of 94 acres, the fort complex houses magnificent structures, including the Jahangir Mahal, Diwan-i-Aam, and Diwan-i-Khas, which serve as enduring examples of the perfect fusion of Islamic and Hindu architectural styles.

The Agra Fort was not only the primary residence of the Mughal emperors before they moved their capital to Delhi but also a center of cultural and political activities.

Located on the outskirts of the city, Sikandra is the grand mausoleum of Emperor Akbar. A true masterpiece, Sikandra was constructed during Akbar’s reign and completed by his son Jahangir in 1613. Built using red sandstone and marble, the structure showcases a perfect blend of Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain architectural elements. The intricate carvings, inlay work, and towering gateways further enhance its magnificence, making Sikandra a significant historical and cultural landmark.

After your sightseeing tour, head on to one of the most famous 5 Star Hotels in Agra for lunch.

After lunch, proceed to visit the Baby Taj, also known as the Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah. This exquisite monument is the mausoleum of Mirza Ghiyas Beg, a Persian noble and the father of Nur Jahan. Commissioned by Nur Jahan, the tomb is often considered a precursor to the Taj Mahal due to its intricate marble inlay work. After your visit to the Baby Taj, head to Mehtab Bagh, constructed in 1530 AD by Emperor Babur. This tranquil garden offers a stunning view of the Taj Mahal, particularly at sunset, when you may witness the breathtaking reflection of the monument in the Yamuna River. After enjoying the views at Mehtab Bagh, return to your hotel for an overnight stay in Agra.

Wake up early to enjoy the most scenic views of the Taj Mahal at sunrise. The monument is an iconic symbol of love and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built between 1632 and 1653 by Emperor Shah Jahan, it was designed as a mausoleum for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, and later for the emperor himself. Set on the banks of the Yamuna River, the Taj Mahal is renowned for its unmatched architecture, featuring intricate carvings, inlaid gemstones, and stunning symmetry. Surrounded by a beautifully landscaped four-part (charbagh) garden, the monument appears to change hues throughout the day, offering a mesmerizing experience for visitors.

Afterward, return to your hotel for breakfast and check out for Delhi. En route, visit the iconic city of Fatehpur Sikri. Built in 1571 AD by Mughal Emperor Akbar, the city served as the capital from 1571 to 1585. A perfect blend of Persian, Hindu, and Islamic architectural styles, the city is home to important structures such as the Buland Darwaza, Jama Masjid, Panch Mahal, the Palace of Jodha Bai, and the tomb of Sheikh Salim Chishti.
