A Same Day Agra Tour by car is a great way to experience the iconic sights of Agra, like the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and the Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daula, all in one day. The tour usually starts early in the morning with a drive from Delhi (or wherever you're based) to Agra, which takes around 3-4 hours one way, depending on traffic.
Here’s a typical itinerary:
1. Morning Departure
- You'll start early in the morning (around 5:30 AM) to avoid traffic and make the most of the day.
2. Visit Taj Mahal
- Once in Agra, you’ll head straight to the Taj Mahal, where you can spend 1.5 to 2 hours exploring this iconic monument. It’s best to visit early to avoid the crowds and the midday heat.
3. Visit Agra Fort
- After the Taj Mahal, you'll head to Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that offers a glimpse into India's Mughal past. You can explore the fort for about 1-1.5 hours.
4. Lunch
- Enjoy a traditional Indian lunch in a local restaurant, often included in the tour package.
5. Visit Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daula
- In the afternoon, you can visit the Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daula, often referred to as the "Baby Taj," because of its resemblance to the Taj Mahal.
6. Return to Your Starting Point
- By late afternoon or early evening, you'll begin your drive back, reaching your base city by night.
Tour Inclusions:
- Pickup and drop-off from your hotel.
- Private air-conditioned car.
