Highlights

Take a trip back in time to Agra, the most beautiful city in the 17th century, even outshining London and Paris. People from all over the globe settled here, bringing their skills to life in small handicraft workshops that are like mini-factories. Today, these places are buzzing with artisans creating beautiful crafts by hand. Our special walk lets you peek into this world, see the magic happening, and buy directly from these craftspeople. If you enjoy picking up souvenirs, this is your golden ticket – you'll get them at a much better price than in any store. We'll stroll around the Taj Mahal area yet away from the tourist crowds. It's a glimpse into the real India, not the typical touristy scene. You'll meet locals, snap some great photos, and get a taste of everyday life. Join us for a laid-back adventure, uncovering the true heart of Agra through its art, culture, and authentic charm.

About Agra

Agra, on the Yamuna River in northern India, is home to the Taj Mahal, the monumental Agra Fort and the Mughal ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri.

The Taj Mahal, built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, is one of the most admired buildings anywhere, its white marble changing colour from dawn to dusk. Its gardens, reflecting pools and inlaid stonework are loveliest early in the morning, and the Mehtab Bagh gardens across the river offer a calm sunset view.

Top-ranked sights in Agra: Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Tomb of I'timad-ud-Daulah.
