📍 Detailed Itinerary

☀️ Morning: Departure from Delhi

Start your day early with a comfortable pickup from your hotel or the Delhi airport. You’ll drive roughly 3–4 hours on the scenic Yamuna Expressway, reaching Agra by late morning. On arrival, meet your tour guide — a local expert passionate about Agra’s hidden gems.

🛍️ Kinari Bazaar – The Heartbeat of Old Agra

Your first stop: Kinari Bazaar, one of the oldest and most vibrant markets in the city.
 Hop into a rickshaw or tuk-tuk and wind through narrow, colorful lanes brimming with history. Discover old buildings, charming storefronts, and local shops offering everything from bridal accessories and ethnic garments to quirky souvenirs — most priced between $1–$5 USD.

Fun Fact: Agra holds a GI (Geographical Indication) tag for its genuine leather shoes and products. If you’re a fan of quality leather, you’re in the right place!

🧶 Traditional Rug Weaving Workshop

Step into a workshop where hand-knotted rugs are still made using techniques passed down from the Mughal era. Watch master artisans weave intricate patterns, knot by knot — some rugs taking over a year to complete. It’s a rare behind-the-scenes look at a dying art form.

🍛 Lunch Break

Enjoy a relaxing lunch at a hand-picked local restaurant, where you can try traditional North Indian cuisine. Refuel and unwind before continuing your exploration.

🏛️ Marble Inlay Experience

Your next stop is a live marble inlay workshop, where you’ll witness the same craftsmanship that adorns the Taj Mahal.
 Watch as artisans skillfully inlay semi-precious stones into marble slabs with surgical precision. Take home a marble souvenir or two — perfect for keepsakes or gifts.

🚗 Return to Delhi

As the sun begins to set, hop back into your private car and begin your return journey to Delhi. Your driver will drop you off at your hotel or the airport, ending the day with bags full of unique finds and a heart full of memories.
