Tour description
Agra was the glittering capital of the Mughal Empire, and it holds the most famous building on earth: the Taj Mahal, the great marble monument to love. But the city has far more to offer, from a mighty red fort to old bazaars still working in the shadow of the emperors' legacy. On this walking tour a local guide reveals both the wonders and the everyday life of Agra.
You will approach the Taj Mahal and hear the story of the emperor and his beloved queen, explore the lanes of Taj Ganj, and learn about the marble inlay craft passed down for generations. Along the way you will discover the Mughal history that shaped northern India. Iconic and historic, Agra is a fascinating city to explore on foot.
