Built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a tribute to his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, this white marble masterpiece took 20,000 artisans over 17 years to complete. Your guide will share fascinating stories, historical facts, and architectural insights that bring the monument to life. This experience offers a deep cultural connection and is perfect for travelers seeking both history and romance on a single unforgettable day trip from Delhi.

  Agra Fort

  After exploring the Taj Mahal, we will proceed to the historic Agra Fort — a magnificent red sandstone fortress that stands proudly on the banks of the Yamuna River. Commissioned by Emperor Akbar in 1566, the fort is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a stunning example of Mughal architecture. Inside the fort, you'll visit the Diwan-I-Am (Hall of Public Audience), a grand red-sandstone chamber where the emperor addressed his subjects and heard petitions from the public. You'll also explore the Diwan-I-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), a more intimate marble hall with delicate floral inlays, where the emperor met with ambassadors and dignitaries while seated on his legendary gem-studded Peacock Throne. This visit offers a rich insight into the royal life and legacy of the Mughal dynasty.

  Itmad-ud-Daula

  Next, you'll visit the exquisite Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah, a Mughal-era mausoleum in Agra often referred to as the "Baby Taj" or a "jewel box" due to its delicate beauty and intricate craftsmanship. Commissioned by Nur Jahan for her father Mirza Ghiyas Beg, this monument is considered a draft of the Taj Mahal, showcasing the first use of white marble inlay work that later inspired the Taj. Its elegant design, intricate lattice windows, and peaceful gardens offer a serene and less-crowded experience while highlighting the architectural transition from red sandstone to pure marble in Mughal architecture.
