What you'll see

We offer you an exciting opportunity to visit Agra's iconic UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Taj Mahal and The Agra Fort on a private tour. Meet your chauffeur in your hotel lobby and take a road trip to Agra. We begin our tour with a visit to the iconic monument of romance, Taj Mahal. Built by an emperor in memory of his queen, Taj Mahal, is a symbol of eternal love which also gives you a glimpse of the great brilliance of Mughal architecture. Did you know that 22,000 labourers, stone-cutters, painters and embroidery artists were employed to build this magnificent structure, featuring rare precious stones, with over 1000 elephants used for transporting material? The dome of the Mahal rises to 115 feet. After being enthralled by the beauty of the Taj, it is time to head to yet another marvel of Mughal architecture, the Agra Fort. Built primarily as a military structure by Emperor Akbar, this iconic fort took 1,444,000 labourers, 8 years to build it. The fort, inspired by Gwalior’s Raja Man Singh Tomar’s Rajput Fort, later served as the inspiration of the Red fort. Exquisite buildings like Moti Masjid, Diwan-i-Aam, Diwan-i-Khaas, Jahangir's Palace, and Sheesh Mahal occupy the fort premises. The Mussamman Burj, where Shah Jahan was imprisoned for 8 years, by his son Emperor Aurangzeb, is also inside the Agra Fort. After being awe-struck by these mesmerising creations, we drive back to Jaipur and drop you at your hotel where your tour concludes.
