Private Agra Tour Itinerary by Car and Driver
Day 1: Mughal Glory of Agra Begins
Your Agra tour begins with a comfortable pick-up in your own chauffeur-driven car. Following hotel check-in, begin the day with a tour of the Taj Mahal, the white marble tomb which has become internationally famous as an emblem of the emperor's love for his wife Mumtaz Mahal. See the gentle dance of light on its surface and bask in the love-infused atmosphere that pervades it.
Then, go to the Agra Fort, a World Heritage Site constructed from red sandstone. Marvel at its graceful halls, palaces, and mosques such as the Diwan-i-Am and the Diwan-i-Khas.
Following a filling Mughlai lunch at the restaurant of a heritage hotel, unwind with a leisurely walk through Mehtab Bagh, the garden complex across the Yamuna River, and savors a peaceful view of the Taj in the gentle evening light. Unwind in the evening with a leisurely day at the hotel.
Day 2: Local Flavors and Craftsmanship of Agra
Start day two with Itimad-ud-Daulah's Tomb, commonly known as the "Baby Taj." The ornamented tomb is a foreshadowing of the Taj Mahal in terms of design and beauty.
Then observe Agra's craftsmanship at work on a tour of a marble inlay factory, where you can watch locals employ the same pietra dura technique that decorates the Taj.
Savor a traditional breakfast of bedai and jalebi on the street, and thereafter take a heritage walk along Kinari Bazaar and Subhash Bazaar—the ideal place for shopping local handicrafts, silver jewelry, leather goods, and souvenirs.
Wind up with a cultural evening performance such as Mohabbat-e-Taj, a light and sound show revealing the age-long love saga for which the Taj Mahal has been constructed.
Day 3: Fatehpur Sikri and Rural Charms
Day-trip today to Fatehpur Sikri, the abandoned Mughal capital, an hour from Agra. See the massive Buland Darwaza, Jama Masjid, and Dargah of Salim Chishti. The red sandstone city still bears witness to the architectural genius of Akbar.
Have a rustic lunch at a local village restaurant and then proceed to visit Kachhpura Village or Korai Village to experience rural India. Get to meet villagers, witness traditional agriculture, and observe how life still exists in earthy simplicity.
Back to Agra for a leisurely evening at your hotel or experience a roof restaurant with views of the Taj.
Day 4: Gardens, Temples & Offbeat Sights
Spend the fourth day visiting Agra's off-the-beaten-path but no less satisfying places. Start the day with a visit to Ram Bagh, the oldest Mughal garden in India, constructed by Babur.
Next, visit Mankameshwar Temple, a holy Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, said to be spiritually connected to the city's ancient origins.
Then, take a drive to Sikandra's Akbar's Tomb, a fine mix of Islamic, Hindu, and Jain design. The scenery of the gardens around it makes for a lovely evening walk destination.
Evening: Go see Chini ka Rauza, an odd tomb covered with Persian-style glazed tiles. Cap the evening off at Taj Nature Walk, a peaceful forest path with nice views of the Taj from varied points of view.
Day 5: Shopping and Cultural Vibe
Agra is a shopper's delight. Begin the day by going to Sadar Bazaar for leather accessories, sweets, and souvenirs. Shop at TDI Mall or Shah Market for the newest fashion and electronics.
Next, unwind over coffee and croissants at a trendy café in Tajganj. If you are an art lover, go to Shilpgram, a crafts village that displays traditional arts, dance, and textiles.
Afternoon: Visit the Spiritual Museum or Kheria Petha Factory, where you’ll learn about the history and production of Agra’s famous petha sweet.
Wrap up your day with a candle-lit farewell dinner at a luxury restaurant offering a view of the Taj Mahal, beautifully lit up at night.
Day 6: Leisurely Farewell and Last Explorations
Start your last morning with a sunrise peep of the Taj Mahal—truly a stunning sight that never gets old. Have a leisurely breakfast at your hotel and prepare to check out.
If possible, drive over to Dayalbagh, headquarters of the Radha Soami faith, and see a still-under-construction marble temple handmade for over a century.
End with a final stopover at Kalakriti Emporium for shopping or a light lunch at a garden café before being dropped off at your next destination or airport/railway station.
Your best Agra Car and Driver Tour concludes in eternal memories and a heartful of Mughal marvels.
