This is not an ordinary sightseeing tour of Taj Mahal or Agra but an introductory journey in to heritage and history of the city. This is a heritage tour of Agra city designed for discerning travelers who have interest in knowing the history and lesser known facts and sights of the places they visit. Agra was the capital of Mughal empire under three kings and it’s visible in the sheer number of monuments, gardens and places built all over. It is impossible to cover all those places in detail for most tourists, but this tour will help you discover the major points and attractions in shortest possible time.
Some of the fun things you will do during this heritage walk are like visit to monuments like I’timad-Ud-Daulah tomb built by queen Nur Janha in memory of her father. This tomb is considered by many historians as one of the major inspirations behind design of Taj Mahal. This and a number of other interesting facts will make your trip to Agra just more than a visit to see Taj Mahal. Following are some details of this tour:
