PRICE:
Immerse into the local life of Agra and savour a slice of heritage with an active bout of cycling. Accompany your expert trip leader and avid cyclist along a trail through the historic city of the Taj. Along the way, you will sample fascinating bytes of culture and soak in centuries of impressive legacy. Pedalling through the streets of the city and its suburbs, you will become a part and parcel of everyday activities, in stark contrast to being an outsider traversing the regular tourist circuit.
Your unique expedition starts near the Taj Mahal and takes you to the Dusshera Ghat of River Yamuna for an enchanting view of the mausoleum across the river. From here, you will continue to the rural suburbs of the city, to dip into the daily life of locals. Witness the charms of seeing people go about their daily chores, feed animals and watch children play outdoor games.
You will ride along busy streets, navigate your way through thriving markets and dodge traffic while cycling through Agra. Photography enthusiasts will encounter ample distractions at every step, so it is a good idea to carry a camera and capture the essence of the local buzz through candid shots.
There will be a scheduled stop for tea and cookies at a local tea stall, where you can take the opportunity to chat to your guide about popular customs and favourite haunts. You will also visit a primary village school to interact with children, venture into a vegetable market and pass by historical sites, while your tour expert provides interesting tidbits for your curious mind.

I will begin by saying that I had a FANTASTIC time in India. It was one of the best trips I've ever taken and I'm truly looking forward to hopefully having you book other trips for me in India.
I must say everything was planned to perfection. Each guide in every city was knowledgeable; especially the guide you arranged for us in Udaipur. We really enjoyed getting to know our guides Musheer and Kishore. We experienced the real India and appreciated the detailed itinerary your team created for us. The hotels were fantastic! In every hotel, the chef paid us a visit to make sure that we had meals suitable for us. We also enjoyed all the extra shopping excursions that were suggested.
The trip was a mega success and your team did a great job. Thanks to Footprint for everything. The entire family had a great time! The exclusive kalaripayattu demonstration was absolutely engaging and we loved every bit of the special private stand-up by Alex Babu (of Alex in Wonderland fame).
Thank you for a great trip! We especially enjoyed driving through the desertland into Jaisalmer; we also thoroughly enjoyed Bikaner, its Havelis and the Fort. Catching the daily life in Mumbai was a unique and eye-opening experience! All the hotels chosen are excellent with wonderful staff. Thank you!
Thank you for a wonderful trip to Kerala. We loved the village life walk and Fort Cochin walk. The backwater cruise in a traditional country boat was an incredible experience. A meal with the local family, living on an island in the backwaters, offered us an excellent opportunity to interact, learn and share. We loved every minute of our holiday! Thanks!
As a solo traveller, I felt safe and was exceptionally well taken care of. The cooking class in Jaipur was extremely enjoyable. The food, chef, and his wife were all exceptional and made for a lovely evening. Also, our expectations were definitely exceeded at a private residence, spending time with the elephants and lunching. Thanks!!
I loved India and thank you very much for arranging everything. It was a fabulous trip. Big kudos to you and your team. The tour guides and drivers were excellent. I loved the artisan walk, discovering the artistic treasures of Udaipur, meeting local potters and painters.
Thanks for arranging everything to precision – it was super smooth and we had a very good darshan!
Thanks for organising a great trip to Lucknow and Varanasi. The hotels at both the places were excellent; we had a great guide in Varanasi who went beyond the designated tour route and showed us around. The food tour in Lucknow was amazing and re-discovering the Awadhi Cuisine was a great experience – the kebabs were out of the world!
It was a terrific experience to spot the King of the jungle in all their glory at Gir. We had a very good experience overall.
It was a perfect leisure getaway – thanks for organising this! We loved the French Connection Trail; the guide took us through the French quarter sharing some incredible stories from the colonisation. We enjoyed the hotel and the service!
