Our suggestion would be to arrive early and settle down in your hotel in order to take a break from travelling. It would be a 3-hour drive from Delhi to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway. You will be travelling in a private, air-conditioned car which is cleaned and sanitised thoroughly every day. We provide sedans, SUVs as well as Tempo Travellers according to your need or the number of tourists. When you will reach Agra, you will be taken to your hotel where our tour guide will be waiting for you. Our Tour guide will assist you with all the details of check-in.

The Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site attracts the wanderlust globally. Your curiosity about why it is one of the world's seven wonders will vanish as soon as you visit the amazing edifice on the Yamuna River. The Taj Mahal's majesty lies not in its size, but in its delicate architectural intricacies. The antique skill and artists will astound you with the finely sculpted marble details. The entrance to the Taj Mahal is through a gracefully curved 'Darwaza,' the major entryway into the Mughal Period's world afterwhich, a delectable garden will follow. The Agra Fort, which is located near the Taj Mahal, is also worth seeing. While a day and effort to capture the live beauty of these masterpieces may fall short, it will soon be time to leave this unforgettable tomb. It will then be time to relish Agra’s famous delicacies. Agra has some diverse mouth-watering dishes influenced by the Mughal period which you can savor at a local restaurant or at an eminent hotel. After a hearty lunch, we will end the day by visiting the Mehtaab Bagh situated north of the Taj Mahal. It is a lush garden that gives a far-sighted view of the Taj Mahal. Finally, you would be taken to your hotel for an overnight stay.
Wake up fresh and would be still amazed at the sight of the Taj Mahal to start a new day by visiting yet another masterpiece created by the Mughals- Fatehpur Sikri. Fatehpur Sikri was built because of the vision of the Mughal Emperor Jalal-ud-din Mohammad Akbar in memory of the great Sufi saint Sheikh Salim Chisti and is located 37 kilometers from Agra. Fatehpur Sikri's beauty and originality offers a wonderful illustration of the emperor's architectural expertise. The historical landmark of Fatehpur Sikri has a compelling blend of Islamic and Hindu components in their style and design because of Akbar's liberal religious views and enthusiasm for literature, architecture, and the arts. The Imperial Palace Complex, the delicately crafted marble mausoleum of the renowned Sufi saint, Sheikh Salim Chisti, and the vast mosque are the only remaining remnants of the old city, second only to The Taj Mahal, a benchmark of architectural grandeur. All it needs is a vivid imagination to transfer the visitors to the era of gilded tapestries, draperies, sumptuous carpets, and Mughal monarchy. Monumental Sites of Fatehpur Sikri : -Diwan-I-Am -Diwan- Khaana-I-Khaas -Turkish Sultana’s House -The Treasury -Palace of Jodha Bai -Hawa Mahal & Nagina Masjid -Jami Masjid -Buland Darwaza You will be taken back to Agra after seeing Fatehpur Sikri and stopping by local markets. Shopping in Agra is noted for its exquisite marble souvenirs like a miniature of the Taj Mahal. Leatherware, brassware, carpets, jewellery, and embroidered work are among Agra's most popular handicrafts, in addition to inlay work. Your tour’s chauffeur will drive you back to Delhi in the same comfort as you arrived.
