Same Day Private Tour of Agra
We pick you up from the location of your choice within Agra city limits. The tour will take approximately four hours plus; hence an early morning start is recommended. Begin your discovery of the historic city of Agra with a visit to the impressive red sandstone Agra Fort built by Akbar - the most illustrious ruler of the Mughal dynasty - in 1565 A.D. It was subsequently embellished with beautiful palaces, mosques, and gardens by his successors. Replete with priceless examples of craftsmanship from the Mughal era, these include the exquisite Moti Masjid or Pearl Mosque, the Diwan-i-Khas, the Diwan-i-Am, Jahangir Mahal and Shish Mahal.
After leaving Agra Fort guests can stop for lunch at our recommended restaurants or any location of their choice.
In the afternoon visit the magnificent Taj Mahal, a pristine white marble mausoleum built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife – Mumtaz Mahal. One of the Seven Wonders of the World, it took 20,000 craftsmen to build the Taj.
