Itinerary
The driver can pick up guests from any location or airport in Jaipur. For the sunrise tour, the pick-up time is 2 AM.
Meet your guide at our meeting point. It is just 2 minutes away from the Taj Mahal. You can also use the restroom. Start the tour by visiting Taj Mahal, the exquisite mausoleum built by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1630 for his favorite wife, and learn its tragic story as you explore.
Next, your guide will take you to Agra Fort. Built in 1565 A.D. by the Mughal Emperor Akbar, Agra Fort is a magnificent example of Mughal architecture.
Take a break and savor the flavors of city's delicious local cuisine. Your guide will recommend the restaurants where you can enjoy an authentic dining experience.
Lastly, but not least, visit the Itmad-Ud-Daulah Tomb. This was the first Mughal structure built completely from marble, the first to make extensive use of pietra dura, and the first tomb to be built on the banks of the Yamuna, which until then had been a sequence of beautiful pleasure gardens.
After visiting all these wonderful sites begin your return journey back to your desired location in Jaipur by private car. You can also stop at our office at last to grab some complimentary postcards.

Traveler reviews
Amazing experience at a world beating site with an experienced and knowledgeable guide - great time!
Outstanding experience - ask for Nasir if you can! His knowledge is literally PhD level, and his extensive experience means he knows just what to go to when. The Taj is perfect at sunrise, with the crowds at their lowest. We took the full package with moment tickets included and I strongly recommend this for the convenience. We had no queue at the Taj entrance, and seamless movement to the Agra Fort and Baby Taj. Our driver, Kamil, was also excellent - a smooth, comfortable ride and well looked after.
Taj Tour
Had a great tour with Azzu. Very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend going to see the Taj with a guide.
Worthwhile For the Time Constrained!
Pickup, Driving and Dropoff by the driver Ramsingh were excellent, ontime and he took care of me if in need of bathroom breaks, a roadside chai stop etc. Guide Owais met us at Taj Mahal, seamless entry into the area and good explanation while the sky was still dark and then freetime to roam and take photos once the sky was bright. Agra Fort OR Baby Taj were offered as the second location to visit if you booked that option which was a nice touch to further customise your experience. Thanks to you both for the great day :) I enjoyed the tour and its perfect for someone who cannot/doesnt want to spend alot of Time in Agra.
Very good trip!
Faizal is very professional, good and take care everything. And it’s the best trip in my life, I will bring my family here again.
Private Taj Mahal & Agra Tour from Jaipur by Car
We started our journey at 5:30am and reached Agra around 11am. Our driver is fantastic. Our guide Ms Maahin is also fantastic. She has good command in English (which is an added advantage). She explained everything in details and very patient with us. If I’m coming to visit Agra again, Ms Maahin will definitely be my guide again.
