Itinerary
MorningĀ Taj Mahal:Ā Begin your day with a visit of the most renowned landmark in Agra- the Taj Mahal.Ā This is a white marble mausoleum constructed by emperor Shah Jahan in honor of his love, mumtaz Mahal.Ā The complex carvings, a phenomenal symmetry and the serene gardens among the Taj Mahal make it one of the seven wonders of the world.Ā Take your time to get the best shot of this great building, either at the front gate or at the reflective pools.
Agra Fort:Ā Once you are done with seeing Taj Mahal, you can visit Agra Fort which is one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites.Ā The fort is comprised of red sandstone and it was the primary home of the Mughal emperors until the transfer of the capital to Delhi.Ā Visit its large courtyards, palaces and mosques, the Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace) and Jahangir Mahal.Ā The outer walls also have a great view of the Taj Mahal within the fort.
Have a typical Mughal lunch in a local restaurant.Ā Agra is also famous as a place where one can find very delicious foods like kebabs, biryanis, petha (a local sweet prepared out of pumpkin).
Mehtab Bagh:Ā You can visit Mehtab bagh, which is on the other side of the river of Taj Mahal, in the afternoon.Ā This garden provides an outstanding sight of the Taj Mahal particularly during sunset.Ā The garden was created as a reflection of the Taj Mahal and provides a tranquil respite against the urban environment.
Itmad-ud-Daula (Baby Taj):Ā Itmad-ud-Daula (Baby Taj) is an early Mughal architectural structure and is commonly said to have been a prelude to the Taj Mahal.Ā Itmad-ud-Daula constructed by Nur Jahan dedicated to her father using marble contains beautiful inlay and an elaborate carving.
Local Markets and Craft Shopping: Crash your day by visiting the local markets of Agra.Ā The Sadar Bazaar and the Kinari Bazaar are favorite shopping places and you can find marble handicrafts, textiles, jewelry and souvenirs there.Ā You may also see the artisans at work, producing elaborate designs in marble inlay, the same type you can find on the Taj Mahal.
Morning:Ā Fatehpur Sikri:Ā Begin your second day tour with a visit to Fatehpur Sikri a 16 th century city constructed by Emperor Akbar.Ā This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site characterized by well-kept palaces, mosques and courtyards.Ā Other attractions are the largest gateway in India, called Buland Darwaza, and also the Jama Masjid which is a beautiful red sandstone mosque.
Savor a local vegetarian meal, with an assortment of Indian dishes such as dal, chapati and vegetable curries, which are the main staple of Indian food.
Tomb of Akbar the Great:Ā The Tomb of Akbar the Great in Sikandra was constructed after Fatehpur Sikri.Ā It is a peaceful and vast complex in which one of the great emperors of India, Akbar, is interred.Ā The architecture of the tomb is a mixture of the Mughal, Persian as well as Hindu architecture and the tomb is a very interesting place to visit.
Local Culture and Cuisine:Ā This afternoon will be spent exploring the culture of Agra.Ā Explore the busy streets of the area, eat street food such as petha and chaat, and speak with local artisans who retain traditional crafts such as carpet weaving and marble inlay.
Sunset at the Taj Mahal:Ā End your sightseeing tour of local places in Agra with the tranquil setting of the Taj Mahal, where the shifting color of the sky give the building a spectacular background.Ā It is an impression that captures one when looking at the Taj Mahal at sunset when it is reflected in the Yamuna River.

Everything about Doors2India was very professional, from the drivers and hotel staff and especially our tour guide Anu. The small group size was especially beneficial for hearing all the detail and stories Anu had for us. And more than once Anu kept me from getting lost in the crowds. The early morning trips to the retail and wholesale markets were a special treat as I like seeing how the people live and work. This was my first fully guided trip, and I will do it again.

Having just returned from an incredible tour of Agra organized by Vivek Sharma of Doors2India, I wish to share our experience. This tour exceeded all our expectations, making our visit to this historical city a truly unforgettable one. First and foremost, the organization by Vivek was flawless. Every detail was meticulously planned, ensuring a smooth and stress-free journey. From the comfortable transportation to the well-chosen itinerary, everything was tailored to offer the best possible experience. The highlight of the tour was our guide, Ali. His knowledge about Agra and its landmarks was astounding. He didnāt just recite facts; he told stories that brought the history of the place to life. His friendly and approachable demeanor made us feel at ease, and he was always ready to answer questions or offer additional insights. Visiting the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and other historical sites on December 25th added a special charm to the tour. Aliās guidance through these iconic locations was invaluable. He knew the best spots for photos, the ideal times to avoid crowds, and fascinating tidbits that arenāt found in guidebooks. Moreover, the local cuisine recommendations provided by Ali were superb. He recommended us to have lunch at Dasaprakash - fresh, hot and delicious food. Wash it down with a cup of South Indian Filter coffee that is the best we have ever had. In conclusion, I highly recommend Doors2India for anyone looking to explore Agra. Their exceptional planning, combined with Aliās expertise, made this tour a highlight of our travels. If youāre seeking an immersive, educational, and enjoyable experience, Vivek Sharma and Ali are the way to go.
