Itinerary
The driver will pick you up from any location or airport in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad, or Ghaziabad, with a 2 AM pick-up time for the sunrise tour. Travel in a private, air-conditioned, climate-controlled car from your chosen location. The journey to Agra takes approximately 3 hours via the Yamuna Expressway, one of India's best roads. If you need a restroom or snack break along the way, simply inform your driver, and he will gladly accommodate your request.
Upon arriving in Agra, you will meet your guide, who will hand you the entry tickets to the magnificent Taj Mahal, allowing you to skip the ticket queues. The Taj Mahal, a symbol of love, was built by Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Your guide will share fascinating historical details and assist in capturing photos at the most picturesque spots within the Taj Mahal.
After visiting the Taj Mahal, your guide will take you to Agra Fort, where you'll once again skip the ticket queues, as your guide will provide entry tickets. Agra Fort, a grand red stone structure, was built by the esteemed Mughal Emperor Akbar in the 16th century and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Take a break and indulge in the city's flavorful local cuisine. Your guide will suggest restaurants where you can enjoy an authentic dining experience.
After lunch, your guide will take you to the Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah for a guided tour lasting about an hour. Often called the 'Jewel Box' and also known as the Baby Taj, this architectural masterpiece is considered a precursor to the Taj Mahal.
After exploring these sites, your guide will bid you farewell, and you'll return to Delhi in your climate-controlled private car. Upon arrival, you'll be dropped off at your preferred location in Delhi, Gurgaon, or Noida. If you wish to customize the tour, please let us know after booking, and we’ll make the necessary arrangements.

Great experience
Great experience. We started bright and early at 2:30am being picked up from the hotel and driven to the Agra. When arriving at the Taj our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the Taj Mahal as well as the other sites visited and the city of Agra in general.
Taj Mahal tour is highly recommended.
We were lucky to do the tour with the guide Vishal Garg, who was very attentive, enthusiastic about his work, and responsive to all the questions my wife and I had during the tour. He provided excellent attention and recommendations, making us feel very safe during the trip, and as a bonus, he is excellent at taking photos.
Recommended!
Everything was very good, we went to cheaper places to shop, and Vishal was very nice! 10/10
