Your tour begins early in the morning with a private pickup from your hotel or airport in Delhi. You will travel in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle along the Yamuna Expressway, enjoying scenic views of northern India. The drive to Agra takes around 3 to 4 hours.
Upon arrival in Agra, your personal guide will take you to the Taj Mahal, one of the most iconic monuments in the world. Spend quality time walking through its perfectly landscaped gardens, marvel at the detailed marble inlay work, and learn about the romantic story of Emperor Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal. The morning light is ideal for photography and allows for a serene experience without large crowds.
After exploring the Taj Mahal, enjoy a private lunch at a recommended restaurant, where you can taste authentic Mughlai dishes and local specialties. Post-lunch, continue your sightseeing with a visit to the Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the grand palaces, audience halls, and inner courtyards of this red sandstone fortress. From several vantage points inside the fort, you can capture stunning views of the Taj Mahal in the distance.
Later, if time permits, your guide can take you on a quick visit to a local marble workshop or handicraft market, where artisans create the famous marble inlay work and traditional souvenirs. This offers a glimpse into Agra’s cultural craftsmanship and provides unique photography opportunities.
In the late afternoon, begin your return journey to Delhi. Relax in your private vehicle while reflecting on the day’s experiences. Upon arrival, you will be dropped off at your hotel or airport, marking the end of your Full-Day Private Tour of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort.
