Highlights

- Taj Mahal - First we visit the magnificent Taj Mahal (Closed on Fridays), a UNESCO World Heritage Site one of the Seven Wonders of the World and surely the most extravagant expression of love ever created. 20,000 men labored for over 17 years to build this memorial to Shah Jahan’s beloved wife. It’s a wealth of white marble and semi-precious stone
- Agra Fort - Afterward, visit the Imposing Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built by Emperor Akbar in 1565 A.D, this huge fort is made of red sandstone. The elegant buildings inside reflect an interesting synthesis of Hindu and Central Asian architectural styles. The maze of the courtyards, mosques, and private chambers of the fort echo the story of the Mughal Empire.
- Fatehpur Sikri - At 2:30pm after lunch we begin the 1-hour drive to Fatehpur Sikri, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Described as ‘the world’s most perfectly preserved ghost town, it was built by Akbar in the late 16th century, and abandoned after only 14 years. The elegant buildings of this superb walled city remain intact to this day.
- Sanskriti’s Imperial Gems - In the early evening, take some time to to enjoy shopping in Agra, which is known for its fabulous handcrafts made of marble and soft stone inlay work. The Mughals were great patrons of arts and crafts. Empress Nur Jahan took a personal interest and was an accomplished artist herself in zari embroidery work.

Taj Mahal from Mumbai full day tour - Don’t hesitate! This is an amazing and super organized tour.
Our driver Ravi picked us up at airport and took us to Agra where we met our amazing guide Rajesh took us to see the Taj Mahal. He’s very knowledgeable and a great photographer as well. We had tradicional Indian lunch followed by some shopping.
It’s a very long day but worth every second!
We also used Nikita Holidays for our transportation in Mumbai and city Tour. Raj Sharma, the CEO made everything go smoothly.
Super recommended!

Best service ever! - I am so happy I booked my once in a lifetime tour of the Taj Mahal and environs with this company. Our guide Mahesh was super! He went out of his way to find me a gold 3D charm of the Taj Mahal. He did this by making several phone calls and going to 3 shops. He was also very attentive to all of our needs concerning the heat (113°). Our driver Prem was great as well. We enjoyed our two days with them immensely. My husband and I joked that they treated us better than our own family! Raj the manager kept texting me throughout our two days to make sure the service was superior. Thank you for making our once in a lifetime experience extra memorable.
