Itinerary

After hotel pickup in Agra, set out with your guide by air-conditioned vehicle and head for the city’s colorful shopping areas. If there are any places you’re very keen to visit, let your guide know. Your itinerary is flexible, and they can help you get the most from your time by creating a personalized shopping experience.

En route, get insider tips on Agra’s shopping scene, and the handicrafts and products that are specialties of the city. Once a Mughal stronghold, Agra was known for its rich culture and royal master craftsmen. Their skills have passed down to today’s artisans, who still produce exquisite inlaid marble, embroidery, carpets, jewelry, and leatherware.

Follow your guide around some of the artisanal stalls, meeting the craftspeople and perhaps buying from them directly. Your guide also offers bartering tips to help you clinch bargains. 

Plus, dive into some of Agra’s vibrant bazaars and specialty stores. Maybe explore marble showrooms, or scout out beautiful saris from quality sari vendors.

Other musts include shops selling finely embroidered carpets, tailored clothes, bedspreads, and Indian spices.

Return to your vehicle armed with your shopping bags, and end your trip with a hotel drop-off.

Outstanding shopping tour.

Simone_H, Mar 2025
Shehla is an outstanding shopping consultant. She was simply brilliant! Advised us on product quality, she negotiated the best prices on our behalf and took us to trusted markets stalls and shops. She was also able to provide recommendations on restaurants. I would definitely recommend doing a tour with Shehla if you are intending to shop in Delhi or Agra.

Rebecca_F, Aug 2023
As a solo female traveler, this was a great way to get out and shop while feeling comfortable. This is not an experience in the street markets, but rather in very nice individual shops of high quality. My guide was informative and attentive and tailored the trip to my specific requests.
