Start of the tour
Your journey begins with a pickup from Delhi airport, your hotel, or any convenient location. The approximately 3-hour drive to Agra will fly by in pleasant company.
Costuming
Upon arrival in Agra, a unique experience awaits. We will visit an elegant saree salon where you can choose and try on a traditional Indian outfit. With the attentive help of local stylists, you will create a unique look.
The Taj Mahal
Dressed in a saree, you will enter the world of pure poetry in marble. Our expert English-speaking guide will share the touching love story of Emperor Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal, the secrets of construction, and the symbolism of the Taj. Importantly, he will also act as your personal stylist and assistant for creating unique photographs against the radiant mausoleum. You can additionally order the services of a professional photographer on-site.
Red walled city
Visit the majestic red sandstone fort, once the residence of the Mughal Empire rulers. Behind its imposing walls lie exquisite palaces, audience halls, and secret gardens — a living history of imperial grandeur.
A Taste of India
After exploring the fort, an authentic Indian traditional buffet lunch at one of Agra's five star hotel awaits. You'll learn about Indian culinary traditions and savor real delicacies.
Traditional Crafts: The Magic of Handmade Art
Immerse yourself in the world of living art, where time slows down and craftsmanship is passed down through generations. You will witness a miracle born before your eyes.
Zardozi: Embroidery with Sunlit Metal. Touch the ancient art where silk and velvet are transformed into a radiant canvas. You will see how artisans' hands, with jeweler's precision, weave threads of gold and silver, creating sparkling, almost weightless lace worthy of imperial attire.
Pietra Dura: Painting in Stone. Discover the secrets of "Florentine mosaic," perfected by Mughal craftsmen. You will observe how from slices of semi-precious stones—agate, jasper, malachite—eternal flowers, patterns, and scenes are born, inlaid into marble.
From Cocoon to Treasure. Trace the entire path of magic: from a delicate silk cocoon to elegant fabric, and from a rough gemstone to a filigree piece of jewelry. You will comprehend the philosophy of Indian craftsmanship, where soul is invested into every creation.
An Ethnographic Journey: From History to Modernity
Our historian-guide will become your companion into the rich world of local culture. This is not just a narration but a living dialogue about how the spirit of the place, its legends, and unique crafts have shaped the character, lifestyle, and traditions of the people. You will understand not only how these artifacts are made but also why they have remained the lifeblood and pulse of this region for centuries.
A Finish in the Spirit of India: The Tea Ritual
Your journey will conclude with a truly Indian ritual—a tea ceremony. You will be offered a cup of fragrant masala chai, brewed according to a traditional recipe. This warming, spicy drink, encompassing all the shades of India, will be the perfect final note in your immersion into the local culture.
End of the tour
Upon completion, we will drive back to the airport or your hotel in Delhi as desired. On the return journey, we will stop at the salon to return the saree unless you decide to keep it as a souvenir.
