Agra Sightseeing Tour Package

Agra Sightseeing Tour Package from Rajasthan On Wheel Tours

Agra is a one-day city that most people give half a day, and it shows. The Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri are three substantial Mughal sites spread over 40 km, and the Taj is closed on Fridays – a detail that ruins more itineraries than any other. Our Agra tour package runs with a private AC car, a driver who knows the city’s one-way system, and an optional licensed guide at the monuments.

Most of our guests reach Agra as part of a Golden Triangle tour from Delhi and Jaipur, and we also run Agra as a standalone day trip from either city.

What the Agra Tour Covers

Taj Mahal. Shah Jahan’s mausoleum for Mumtaz Mahal, built between 1632 and 1653. Go at sunrise – the marble changes colour as the light comes up and the crowds are a fraction of the midday scrum. Allow two to three hours. Closed Fridays. Entry is ticketed separately and the queue for the main mausoleum moves slowly after 9 am.

Agra Fort. The red sandstone fort that was the Mughal seat of power before Delhi, and where Shah Jahan was later imprisoned by his own son with a view of the Taj downriver. Less visited than the Taj and, for many people, more interesting. Allow two hours.

Fatehpur Sikri. 40 km west, the capital Akbar built and abandoned within fifteen years when the water ran out. The Buland Darwaza, Panch Mahal and Jama Masjid are intact and largely empty. Allow two hours plus the drive, and it fits naturally on the road between Agra and Jaipur.

Itmad-ud-Daulah, the “Baby Taj”. The tomb of Mumtaz Mahal’s grandfather, and the design that the Taj Mahal learned from. Quiet, and 45 minutes well spent.

Mehtab Bagh. The garden directly across the Yamuna from the Taj, built as the view of it. The best sunset in Agra and the best photograph.

Suggested Agra Itinerary

Sunrise: Taj Mahal as it opens. Mid-morning: breakfast, then Agra Fort. Lunch in the city. Afternoon: Itmad-ud-Daulah, then a marble-inlay workshop if you want to see the craft that built the Taj still being practised. Sunset: Mehtab Bagh.

If Fatehpur Sikri is on your list, take it the next morning or on the drive out towards Jaipur rather than squeezing it into the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions: Agra Tour

Taj Mahal timings, how long you need and what the fare covers.

Is the Taj Mahal closed on any day?
Yes – the Taj Mahal is closed to visitors every Friday. It is the single most common itinerary mistake we see, so if your Agra day falls on a Friday we will move the sightseeing order around it or suggest shifting the day.
How many days do you need in Agra?
One full day covers the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and one smaller monument. Two days lets you add Fatehpur Sikri properly and see the Taj at both sunrise and sunset from Mehtab Bagh. Most Golden Triangle itineraries give Agra one night, which is enough.
What is the best time to visit the Taj Mahal?
Sunrise, as it opens. The marble shifts colour as the light comes up, the air is clearer, and the crowds are a fraction of what they are by mid-morning. Sunset from Mehtab Bagh across the river is the other good option.
How far is Agra from Delhi and Jaipur?
About 240 km from each. Delhi to Agra takes roughly four hours on the Yamuna Expressway, and Jaipur to Agra about four hours via Bharatfur. Both are comfortable half-day drives in a private car.
Is Fatehpur Sikri worth visiting?
Yes, and it is the most underrated site in the area – Akbar’s capital, built and abandoned inside fifteen years, largely intact and far less crowded than Agra. It sits 40 km west, so it works best on the drive between Agra and Jaipur rather than as a separate trip.
Are monument entry fees included in the tour?
No. Entry and camera fees at the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Fatehpur Sikri and the other monuments are paid separately, and the Taj has a separate additional ticket for the main mausoleum. Our fare covers the vehicle, fuel, driver allowance, tax, toll and parking.
Can you provide a guide in Agra?
Yes, licensed guides are available at the monuments on request. Tell us the language you want when you book – English and Hindi are straightforward, and other languages can usually be arranged with notice.
Can we visit Agra as a day trip?
Yes. From Delhi or Jaipur a day trip means roughly eight hours of driving and five to six hours of sightseeing, which covers the Taj and Agra Fort but not much else. An overnight in Agra is a far better experience if you can spare it.
What vehicles do you provide for the Agra tour?
AC sedans for couples and small families, Ertiga and Innova for larger families, Innova Crysta where comfort matters on the long drives, and Tempo Travellers, mini buses and coaches for groups.
