Itinerary

  1. Day 1: Delhi Sightseeing & Drive to Agra

    Your journey begins with a private morning pickup from your hotel or airport in Delhi, Noida, or Gurugram. Meet your local guide in Delhi and begin a swift tour of key historical landmarks. Visit the UNESCO-listed Qutub Minar, the tallest brick minaret in the world, and drive past prominent government structures including India Gate, the Rashtrapati Bhavan (Presidential Palace), and Parliament House.
    Following your morning tour and lunch break, board your private car for a comfortable 3.5-hour drive to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway. Upon arrival in Agra, check into your hotel. In the late afternoon, visit Agra Fort, a massive red sandstone fortress that served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors. Enjoy evening views of the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna River from Mehtab Bagh before returning to your hotel for an overnight stay.

  2. Day 2: Taj Mahal Sunrise, Fatehpur Sikri & Drive to Jaipur

    Wake early for an unforgettable sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal. Watch as the morning light casts golden hues across the white marble dome and serene reflection pools. Your local guide will detail the history, symmetry, and intricate gemstone craftsmanship of this wonder of the world. Return to your hotel for breakfast and checkout.
    Depart Agra and drive west toward Jaipur. En route, make a stop at the abandoned 16th-century Mughal capital of Fatehpur Sikri, exploring the grand Buland Darwaza, Jama Masjid, and Panch Mahal. Continue the drive into Rajasthan, arriving in the "Pink City" of Jaipur by evening. Check into your hotel and enjoy a relaxed evening exploring local Rajasthani handicraft markets or dining at a traditional restaurant.

  3. Day 3: Jaipur Sightseeing & Return Drive to Delhi

    After breakfast at your hotel, meet your Jaipur tour guide and head to the majestic Amber Fort, perched high on the Aravalli Hills. Explore its grand courtyards, cobblestone paths, and the stunning Sheesh Mahal (Hall of Mirrors). Stop for photos at the picturesque Jal Mahal (Water Palace), situated in the middle of Man Sagar Lake.
    In the afternoon, visit the City Palace complex, still home to the royal family of Jaipur, and the nearby Jantar Mantar, an 18th-century astronomical observatory and UNESCO site. Stop to admire the iconic honeycomb facade of the Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds). Following your Jaipur tour, sit back in your private car for the journey back to Delhi, arriving in the evening for drop-off at your hotel or the Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL).

Good Experience of visiting the Taj. I would recommend Shahid and Oberoi tours. We went to natural to the taj.Mahal with Shahid from Oberoi tours. He was very knowledgeable about Agra and the taj mahal. We had elders in the group, and he was very patient with us. Keep care of all the ticketing and help us get through all the counters. All in all, it was a very good tour.
