• A private driver will collect you from your location in Agra. You will first visit the Taj Mahal, where an expert guide will accompany you to explain the architectural details and history of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its beauty and significance. • After your sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal, you will return to your hotel restaurant for breakfast, with no time restrictions on how long you can stay. • A marble inlay demonstration will follow, showcasing the intricate craft of semi-precious stone inlay (pacchikari), which is unique to Agra. This technique creates inlaid patterns that appear to grow out of the marble, inspired by the artwork seen in the Taj Mahal and Itimad-ud-Daulah's tomb. • Next, you will visit the Red Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, often overlooked due to its proximity to the Taj Mahal. Your guide will provide insights about the fort's architectural features and its historical significance. • There will be a one and a half-hour lunch break for a curated buffet that offers authentic dishes from Agra, all prepared with hygiene in mind. • The itinerary includes an exploration of Agra's renowned art and crafts, such as Agra rugs, which have roots in the Mughal capital dating back to 1619. You will also learn about Zardozi, a traditional metal embroidery once used to decorate royal garments and accessories. • You will have some leisure time for lunch before visiting the Baby Taj Mahal, also known as Itimad-ud-Daulah's Tomb. This architectural gem on the banks of the Yamuna River shares many features with the Taj Mahal, and your guide will narrate its history and intricacies. • Finally, you'll head to Mehtab Bagh (Moonlight Garden) for a serene view of the Taj Mahal, located across the river Yamuna. This garden offers a peaceful setting to admire the monument without crowds, and your guide will discuss its historical background. The tour concludes with a return drive to Delhi, where you will be dropped off at your hotel. NOTE - The Agra itinerary can be tailored to your preferences upon request.
