What can you experience on an Agra tour?
Incredible architecture
No trip to Agra would be complete without visiting the world-famous Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, its iconic white domes and picturesque gardens will take your breath away when you see them in person.
Delicious cuisine
Agra is famous for its rich and diverse cuisine, which offers something for every visitor. Feast on kebabs, curries, samosas and other Mughlai dishes or sample some of the hearty meat-free meals enjoyed by the city's thriving vegetarian community. Agra also offers a wide range of mouthwatering sweet dishes, most notably petha – soft chewy candy made from pumpkin and available in countless flavours.
