Description:

Set on the bend of the holy Yamuna River, Agra is one of the brightest of India's many jewels, home to the fascinating legacy of the Mughal Empire. Visit the magnificent Taj Mahal, stroll through the impressive red palaces inside Agra Fort, and marvel at the graceful Tomb of Akbar the Great.

Your private driver whisks you off from your hotel in the morning in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, to show you the alluring heritage of Agra and its surrounding vicinity. The Taj Mahal is considered by many to be the most charming building in the world. Built by a grieving shah in the memory of his beloved wife, it was later described as “a teardrop on the cheek of eternity.”

Colossal walls surround the majestic Agra Fort, built from red sandstone and more than 1.5 miles (2 km) long, standing 65 feet (20 m) above the Yamuna River. Admire the intricate ornaments on mosques, palaces, and audience halls inside the stunning complex.

Sit back and take a break over a delicious lunch (optional extra), before continuing to the dignified mausoleums of former Mughal emperors. Also known as the “Baby Taj,” the Tomb of I'timad-ud-Daulah is a fine example of the era's sophisticated architectural style. On the outskirts of Agra, in the leafy settlement of Sikandra, see the awe-inspiring Tomb of Akbar the Great, decorated with precious and colorful tiles.
