Meeting Point
Hotel's Lobby

St. George’s Cathedral, Agra
Located in the heart of the Cantonment area, St. George’s Cathedral is one of Agra’s most notable colonial-era landmarks. Built in 1828, during the British Raj, this Anglican church was designed to serve the British military officers and civilians stationed in the region. It stands as a quiet symbol of Agra’s colonial past, offering a striking contrast to the city's grand Mughal architecture.
Post Office Building
The Grand Post Office Building in Agra is a prominent reminder of the city’s colonial legacy. Constructed during the British era in the late 19th century, it was designed as a key hub for communication and administration under the Raj.
St. John's College
Founded in 1850 by the Church Missionary Society of England, St. John’s College is one of the oldest and most prestigious educational institutions in northern India.
The college is named after St. John the Evangelist and was originally established to provide higher education to Indian students under Christian principles, though it has long since become a secular institution open to all.
Akbar's Church
Akbar’s Church, also known as the Church of Akbar or the Church of the Missionaries, holds the distinction of being the oldest Roman Catholic church in North India. This historic church was originally built in 1600 during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Akbar the Great.
Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception,
The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, also known as St. Peter’s Church, is one of the most significant Roman Catholic churches in northern India. This cathedral serves as the seat of the Archdiocese of Agra, making it an important spiritual and administrative center for the Catholic community.
Roman Catholic Cemetery
The Roman Catholic Cemetery in Agra is one of the oldest Christian burial grounds in India, with origins dating back to the early 17th century. This cemetery is a significant historical site, quietly preserving the legacy of European settlers, missionaries, and soldiers who lived and died in Agra during the Mughal and British periods.
Lunch Break
There will be a lunch break in between the sightseeing at a multi cuisine fine dining restaurant.
Jama Masjid
The Jama Masjid in Agra is one of the city’s largest and most historically significant mosques. Located opposite the Agra Fort and overlooking the bustling Agra Fort Railway Station, it was built in 1648 by Empress Jahanara Begum, the daughter of Emperor Shah Jahan. Dedicated to her father, the mosque is a striking example of Mughal architecture and reflects the empire's deep artistic and religious traditions.
Old Agra Food Walk
This walking tour takes you to the lesser-known old city behind the walls of the Agra Fort. We will begin at the 170-year-old Chimman Lal Pooriwale & explore the food scene in the 16th centuries old Mughal city.
Visit the oldest Petha shop in Agra & walk up to Seth Gali famous for its sweet shops through Kinari Bazaar and sample some of the most delicious local mithai/sweets straight out of the workshop.
Visit the ancient Mankameshwar Shiva temple, believed to have been here before the Mughals made Agra their capital, followed by tasting the famous local snack - Dalmooth.

“A Guide Service That Really Knows Agra”
For all but the most experienced India visitors, a good guide service is essential to navigate the trip from Delhi to Agra and to maximize the experience at the Taj Mahal. My wife and I engaged Mohsin for transportation from Delhi to Agra and return, and guide service at the Taj Mahal. We were met at the airport baggage area by Umesh, who drove us in air conditioned comfort to Agra with a stop at the truck stop with western food and modern facilities. Umesh got us to our homestay in Agra, which is within walking distance of the East Gate. We were met at 6am by our guide, Zameer. He has been guiding at the Taj Mahal for seventeen years, Zameer navigated us through the entry process and gave us the level of insights about the monument that you would expect from someone with his experience. Zameer took us to MK Handicrafts, which is a cooperative of 120 families who are descendants of the original Taj artisans. We saw the process used in creating the Taj Mahal inlay work. The families get the white marble base for their pieces from the government in exchange for doing restoration work on the Taj. We were pitched to buy some of their work, but it's not necessary to buy anything. It was a great experience, which I understand is not available on every tour. The inlay work is stunningly beautiful. Meeting the families who keep the artistry alive that created one of the most unique structures on the plant is a worthwhile addition to the tour. We also toured the Red Fort, which under Zameer's expert guidance, provides a lot of context to the Taj Mahal story. Umesh then deliverd us back, safe and sound through the Dehli traffic to our next hotel. In short, the execution was flawless. Umesh and Zameer were very professional and made the entire experience enjoyable and educational. I highly recommend Mohsin's service for a trip to Agra. Given the level of the service provided and the fact that you can customize it to your needs, the cost is reasonable.

“Agra Trip -- Feb 2024”
We engaged Mohsin K as our guide for our Agra trip and it was one of the best parts of the trip . His Knowledge of History ,architecture & Culture was excellent and he was able to provide a context when we visited Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. It really helped us to go back in time and visualize how things must have been four hundred years back. He was very accommodating to senior members in our group. We wish we had more time to see other monuments with him in and around Agra. He is fluent in English and the local language, as well as logistics of navigating the sites, which helped the trip go smoothly. He was a warm and engaging guide and was able to answer all our questions on history, culture, and customs. We would highly recommend engaging Mohsin as a tour guide if you plan to make a trip to Agra.
