This trip has been especially tailored for those travelers who do not have a lot of time to spend in Agra but want to see its monuments, including the famous Taj Mahal. The other heritages that travelers will see during this trip are Agra Fort and Baby Taj, the latter being a Mughal mausoleum that provided the template for the Taj Mahal.
If you still find yourself with time after visiting these sites, that we can also add the Mughal Bazar, a local market, to the itinerary. We will drive you back to Delhi after that and drop you off at your desired destination.
Please note that we can offer pick-up services for this trip from your hotel in Delhi as well as from the airport or the railways station in the city. You will meet our tour guide on reaching Agra and the tour guide will show you the monuments.
If you are pressed for time or need to get back to Delhi on the same day then this is the perfect tour to see beautiful Agra, Taj Mahal and other famous monuments. Every day thousands of tourists from all over the world come here to witness the wonders of the Mughal period and, in particular, the pristine beauty of the Taj Mahal and other ancient sites, Itimad-Ud- Daulah, Sikandra, Red Fort, and Fatehpur Sikri.
Our tour starts at 6:00 in the morning in Delhi where we'll pick you up from your hotel and head towards Agra and the Taj Mahal, stopping at sites along the way. After arrival in Agra, we will visit the different monuments and also see the city of Agra. We will continue our drive back to Delhi later in the afternoon, and drop you off at your hotel. This tour involves pick-up and drop-off, a personal guide, driver and car, all the monument tickets, lunch, and drink.
The famed Taj Mahal is a white marble mausoleum designed by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife. It is widely recognised as a jewel of Muslim art in India and as a unanimously admired masterpiece of world heritage. This site was designated a World Heritage Site in 1983.
Agra has come a long way from the day when tales of the Mughal riches and splendor were popular across the seven seas surrounding its fairy tale courts. Today it is like other northern Indian urban areas but still distinctive because it retains its medieval nature. Transport back to a different era with the serpentine bylanes, old homes, and markets crowded with people and goods. Walking through Agra's streets, you might even come across a small dim-lit workshop where artisans claim to be descendants of ancestors who served in Mughal courts.
A great way of seeing Agra and Taj Mahal!
