Our driver will take you to the Taj Mahal, where you will be introduced to our experienced tour guide, a native of Agra, who will ensure that you do not miss any exclusive anecdotes or secrets of the city.

Here, you will visit one of the most beautiful monuments, renowned for its spectacular architecture. It was built by the fifth Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. "Mumtaz" was a title given to the Empress, meaning the most beautiful and perfect lady, which she was in the eyes of the emperor. Due to its magnificent beauty and impressive architecture, the Taj Mahal is counted among the Seven Wonders of the World. This visit to the Taj Mahal will naturally be the first and most memorable step of your visit to the city of Agra. You will have ample time to explore the white marble mausoleum thoroughly and take pictures.

After visiting the Taj Mahal, you will explore the amazing cultural markets of Agra, where you will experience unique and traditional art. You will then go to a restaurant and taste some delicious food from Agra.

For lunch, you will enjoy delicious Mughlai, North Indian, and local food of Agra, depending on your choice. After lunch, you will head to Agra Fort. This grand fort was the residence of the Mughal emperors and was built of red sandstone, which is why it is also called Red Fort (Lal Quila). Construction began in 1565 under the third Mughal Emperor, known as "The Great Akbar," and was completed by the sixth Mughal Emperor, Alamgir Aurangzeb. Emperor Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal, was imprisoned here by his own son for the last eight years of his life, from where he was able to gaze out at the Taj Mahal. The fort was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007. After this visit, you will depart for Itimad-ud-Daula.

It is now time to visit Itimad-ud-Daula, also known as the Baby Taj Mahal. This beautiful mausoleum, shaped like a jewellery box, was built by the fourth Mughal Emperor Jahangir's wife, Nur Jahan, for her father. The monument is famous for its religious values as well as its supreme architecture.

Our driver will transfer you to Agra Cantt. Railway Station, along with the amazing memories of Agra. Your train back to Delhi will depart at 05:50 PM.

On the way back, dinner will be served on the train, and you will arrive at Delhi's Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station at 7:30 PM.
