Exploring Agra Fort
Next, your guide will escort you to Agra Fort, a sprawling fortress built in 1565 and renowned for its impressive Mughal architecture. The tour lasts about an hour, during which your guide will bring the history alive, explaining the significance of the various pavilions and courtyards.
For those interested, there’s an alternative to visit Itmad-Ud-Daulah’s Tomb — a smaller, yet equally stunning mausoleum often called the “Baby Taj.” Reviewers repeatedly mention the quality of guides like Zainul Khan and Sohail, who make complex history engaging and easy to follow. One reviewer shared, “Zainul Khan’s presentation made the tour memorable,” highlighting how a good guide can make or break your experience.
Lunch at a Top-Quality Restaurant
After soaking in the history, you’ll enjoy a delicious buffet lunch at a 5-star hotel like the DoubleTree by Hilton or other highly-rated venues. This break offers a chance to refresh and sample some of India’s flavorful cuisine. The included meal is a significant value add, especially given the quality and variety available at these establishments.
Visiting the Baby Taj
Post-lunch, your guide will take you to Tomb of Itimad-Ud-Daulah, which many travelers describe as a highlight. Its intricate marble work and peaceful ambiance make it a perfect spot for photography and reflection. One reviewer noted, “The craftsmanship of the mausoleum is stunning,” appreciating the delicate artistry that sets this site apart from the larger Taj Mahal.
Returning to Delhi
The day wraps up with a scenic drive back to Delhi, with the option to be dropped off anywhere in the city, Gurgaon, or Noida. Travel time back is about three hours, giving you a chance to unwind or review your photos. Reviewers describe this ride as comfortable and relaxing, often praising the driver’s courteous manner.
This tour strikes a balance between value and quality. At approximately $2.58 per person, you get tickets, transportation, a guide, and meals, which many travelers say is a steal considering the depth of experience. The guides, such as Deva Khan, Zainul Khan, and Sohail, consistently receive praise for their knowledge, presentation, and friendly demeanor.
The small group size (essentially private, since it’s a fully private tour) means personalized attention, and the flexible itinerary allows for a more relaxed pace. Reviewers also love how the guides go beyond the basic facts, sharing personal insights and taking excellent photos, making the day memorable for both history buffs and casual visitors.
