Owing to its exquisite attractions, a tour to Agra will be remarkable and unforgettable for you. Agra is known for its intriguing culture and heritage. This historic city was ruled by various emperors in the past. People belonging to different religions celebrate all the festivals that brighten up the atmosphere everywhere around the city. For those who wish to experience the royalty of the city,  any Indian tour operator can customize for you a holiday tour package to Agra.

A visit to Agra is incomplete without seeing the Taj Mahal. You must have already heard a lot of people raving about the exquisite monument. Let us take you on a vicarious tour of the inside of it. When you enter the monument, you will be spellbound by the magnificent interiors of the Taj Mahal. This marvellous mausoleum is constructed on an elevated platform with the four corners curbed to form an octagon. The design of the architecture is based on the Italian conception. Each aspect of the architectural building stands on its own which perfectly harmonizes with the main monumental structure. The view of the Taj Mahal can be best experienced in the morning and evening. You will be enchanted with the changing shades of the majestic architecture during the sunrise and sunset.

Red Fort, also known as Lal Quiila, is the chef-d'oeuvre  of architecture. It is one of the most revered stomping grounds for tourists from around the country and abroad. This stupendous fort was constructed by Shahjahan as the bastion. Located on the banks of the Yamuna river, the fort consists of manor halls for private and public visitors. There are also arched marble castles, lavish private apartments, intricately constructed gardens and a mosque.

Dubbed as the Baby Taj, Itmad ud Duala is one of the most elegant tombs that should not be given a miss. Although it is not exceptionally beautiful as the Taj, it is presumably more dainty in appearance because of the delicately carved fretwork. As a matter of fact, this is the first Mughal monument that was constructed entirely with marble. It was also the first tomb that was constructed on the Yamuna banks which are adorned with phenomenal gardens.

Sikandra is the Akbar’s mausoleum the construction of which was started by Akbar himself. The monument has a classic blend of Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Islam and Christianity. There is only one entranceway into the mausoleum. However, there are four red sandstone doorways that lead to the complex. The entrances of Sikandara are remarkably embellished with huge mosaic patterns sculpted into it. The four minarets at the gateways that stand on the corners are strikingly stupendous. You must definitely visit this place if you want to experience an ambiance of placidity.

Fatehpur Sikri is one of the popular historical places located in the district of Agra. One thing that sets it apart is the fact that the city has been constructed using red sandstones. Fatehpur Sikri is enriched with loads of tourist attractions that never fail to captivate the visitors. It is known for a lot of splendid monuments that have refined architectural work. Some of the must visit monuments are Sheikh Salim Christi’s Tomb, Jodha Bai’s Palace, Panch Mahal, Buland Darwaza and Deewan-E-Aam.

One can easily deduce the popularity of the Agra package tours by the fact that traveling to the city is pretty convenient because it is connected with all the major places in the country via rail, road, and air. This is by far one of the most in-demand tour packages available in India. Set out on an Agra Tour to explore the fabulous attractions that this beautiful city has to offer.
