Delhi to Agra and Agra Sightseeing

  • Begin your tour from Delhi. Whether you are already in Delhi or arriving there, a representative will pick you up from your hotel or the airport and drive you to Agra, which is about 206 km from the national capital. The journey takes about 150 minutes via the Yamuna Expressway.
  • Once you reach Agra, you will have some time to unwind and have something to eat.
  • After that, head to Agra Fort. Built by the Mughal emperor Akbar, this fort used to be the main residence of the Mughal emperors. It is known for its amazing Mughal architecture and features many striking structures, including Diwan-i-Am, Jahangir Palace, Diwan-i-Khas, and more. You can also catch a glimpse of the Taj Mahal from here.

  • Next, enjoy a lunch break at a famous restaurant in Agra, where you will eat some trendy cuisine in the city.
