Delhi to Agra Heritage Tour

  • 6:00 AM - Pick-up from anywhere in Delhi, NCR, or Gurgaon

  • 9:00 AM - Explore the beauty of the Taj Mahal

    Upon reaching the historic city of Agra, you will meet your guide and begin the tour with a visit to the Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Your guide can also assist you in capturing photos from the best spots at the Taj Mahal.

  • 11:00 AM - Proceed to Agra Fort

    After exploring the stunning beauty of the Taj Mahal, continue to Agra Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Agra Fort was formerly the fortified residence of India's Mughal emperors.

  • 1:00 PM - Lunch at an authentic Indian restaurant

    After visiting both World Heritage Sites, enjoy a lunch break at an authentic multi-cuisine Indian restaurant. Once you have finished your meal, continue your tour with a visit to Mehtab Bagh.

  • 2:30 PM - Visit the marble handicraft inlay art place

    Witness a live demonstration of marble inlay art, known as 'Pachchikari' or 'Parchinkari'. This art form was used on the walls and tombs of the Taj Mahal, built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in Agra during the 17th century. It can also be found in other Mughal monuments in Agra, such as Agra Fort and Itimad-ud-Daulah's tomb. Additionally, it appears in the palaces of Delhi Fort, also constructed by Shah Jahan.

    Semi-precious stones such as lapis lazuli, onyx, jasper, and carnelian were combined with various hues of marble to create designs of unsurpassed elegance. Mughal inlay art is a remarkable feature of Mughal architecture in India. It was an instrument of dynamic expression during the great age of the Mughal Empire, and Shah Jahan, the chief patron of this work, used the finest inlay craftsmanship in the Taj Mahal.

  • 4:00 PM - Return to Delhi and drop at your destination

    After a fulfilling day, return to Delhi, where our chauffeur will drop you off at your destination.
