A same-day tour of Agra, typically focusing on the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and sometimes Fatehpur Sikri, is a popular choice for visitors with limited time. Here’s a suggested itinerary for a same-day Agra tour:
Early Morning depart from Delhi by AC luxury vehicle and reach Agra in about two hours
Arrive in Agra and head straight to the Taj Mahal. Spend around two hours exploring this magnificent monument. Take your time to admire the architecture, gardens, and history
Later, head to Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Explore the palaces, mosques, and courtyards within the fort. Also, have lunch at a local restaurant. Agra has a variety of dining options, including traditional Mughlai cuisine
In the afternoon, visit the Itmad-ud-Daulah, also known as the Baby Taj. It’s another beautiful monument with intricate marble work. If you have more time, you can visit Fatehpur Sikri, which is about an hour’s drive from Agra. This deserted city is also a UNESCO World Heritage site
Explore the local markets and shops in Agra. You can find handicrafts, marble inlay work, and other souvenirs. In the evening, start your journey back to Delhi. Arrive in Delhi, and transfer to the airport/railway station or hotel
