I took a day trip to the Taj Mahal, from Jaipur. Mr Rakesh drove me 5 hours there, around Agra, then 5 hours back. He was extremely professional and a wonderful driver. Safest I have felt in a car, while in India. The car was a new Toyota SUV; extremely comfortable. We picked up my Taj Mahal tour guide, Shubham, once arriving in Agra. He was very knowledgeable about the history and details of the marble, inlays, and overall architecture. He did an excellent job of shooing away anyone trying to sell me photos/souvenirs/etc. He also took lovely photos of me. Great experience, great trip. Thank you!

We had the pleasure of being guided by Asif Malik during our visit to Agra, and he made the experience truly unforgettable. From the moment we met him, Asif’s warmth and politeness were evident. His deep knowledge of Agra's landmarks, including the Taj Mahal, Baby Taj, and Red Fort, brought these iconic sites to life in ways we never could have imagined on our own. He shared fascinating historical details and personal insights that enriched our visit, ensuring we understood not just the significance of each site but also the stories behind them. Asif's communication was clear, his pacing perfect, and his professionalism throughout the day was exceptional. He took the time to answer all of our questions and made sure we had plenty of opportunities for photos while also guiding us smoothly through the crowds. We highly recommend Asif Malik to anyone visiting Agra! His expertise and courteous nature truly enhanced our trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

Full description

In the early morning at 6:30 AM, the driver will receive you and head towards Agra. On the way to Agra, stop at Fatehpur Sikri, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1986. Upon arrival in Agra, head towards the magical allure of the Taj Mahal. Words can’t justify its beauty and you’ve got to see it for yourself. This is what draws tourists to Agra like moths to a wondrous flame. Despite the hype, it’s every bit as good as you’ve heard. Enjoy a guided tour of the other spectacular sights of Agra.

Then, drive to Agra Fort (Red Fort). Spread over a sprawling 94 acres, this massive red sandstone fort lies parallel to the Yamuna River and is situated 2 kilometers northwest of the Taj Mahal. The Agra Fort (Red Fort) was originally occupied by Sikarwar Rajputs and was later captured by the Lodi rulers of Delhi. In 1526, after the Lodi’s were defeated in the Battle of Panipat, the victor Emperor Babur took over the fort. After losing the fort briefly to the Suri rulers, it was eventually reclaimed by Akbar, who made Agra his capital.

Have lunch at a restaurant of your choice. Suggestions will of course be given on where to eat if you wish. Afterwards, head toward Baby Taj - the Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah is a Mughal mausoleum in the city of Agra. Often described as a 'jewel box,' it is regarded as a draft of the Tāj Mahal. Then, you will be transferred back to Jaipur. Upon arrival in Jaipur, the driver will drop you off at your designated place with lots of good memories of the tour.
