Witness the Taj Mahal and get an insight into rural village life on this one day Agra tour!

The Taj Mahal is one of those rare world famous sights that exceeds expectations. Any trip to Delhi is not complete without a visit to Agra, taking in this jaw-dropping architectural marvel. But we want to take you deeper. 

On the way from Delhi to Agra by car, accompanied by our tour guide who will pick you up from your hotel, you will stop off at a local village for a chai where you will learn about local life. 

On arrival in Agra in the late morning, we head straight to the Taj Mahal where you can either roam around independently after an initial briefing from our tour guide about the historical background, or a local tour guide can give you a more detailed tour (guided tours inside Taj Mahal and Agra Fort have to be led by a local certified guide).

For lunch, we normally go to a local restaurant to eat a lovely vegetarian thali, where you eat a number of different dishes on one big plate.

After lunch, we get a tuk-tuk to Agra Fort, which is also spectacular and would be the crowning jewel of almost any other city. We then go to Mehtab Bagh, a small 22 acre Persian-style garden located next to the Yamuna river, offering a very unique view of the Taj Mahal, particularly at sunset. There is also the option to visit the tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah (“Baby Taj Mahal”)
