You will explore the Taj Mahal whilst enjoying its sunrise views, spending around 2 hours in the mousoleum.

I booked a 3:30 am pick up/tour. Naval was the driver that met me at the hotel. He was punctual and courteous. We picked up Islam our tour guide in Agra. Islam was great at providing information during the tour. He also takes amazing pictures. I highly recommend this tour.

The tour was really good. Especially our tour guide Ismail was amazing. He has 30 years of experience as a tour guide in Agra and he explained in detail about all the facts of Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. He even has a great skill of photography (you can save your money by not paying the professional photographers who are available in Taj Mahal). We highly recommend to have him as your guide to have an amazing experience.

The Sunrise Taj Mahal experience was amazing! I suggest it! Everything was right! All team was helpful and open for each doubt. Each detail was well planned and before the start they gave me informations about everything. My pick up was at 2.30 and Bantu, my driver, was very very kind, polite and skilled. Imran, my guide, was helpful, friendly and professional. He explained to me the story, the mites, the architecture, the curiosities of the Taj Mahal and the Agra Fort (and also about everything I wanted) with professionalism but also with a sense of humor. It was very interesting. After the Taj Mahal visit we took a break for a breakfast in a 5stars hotel and it was a pleasure. Everything was perfect, I was alone and I suggest this experience because it was wonderful and safe.
