- Taj Mahal - The Taj Mahal, known as the “Crown of the Palaces,” is an ivory-white marble mausoleum situated on the southern bank of the Yamuna River in Agra, India. Commissioned in 1632 by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (who reigned from 1628 to 1658) to enshrine the tomb of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, the mausoleum’s construction was largely completed in 1643, with additional work continuing for another decade. In 1983, the Taj Mahal was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its status as “the jewel of Muslim art in India.”
- Radisson Hotel Agra - Enjoy lunch at the Radisson Hotel in Agra.
- Agra Fort - Following the visit to the Taj Mahal, explore Agra Fort, a grand red stone structure built by the esteemed Mughal Emperor Akbar. This UNESCO World Heritage Site, constructed in the 16th century, houses numerous palaces such as Jahangiri Mahal, Diwan-e-Aam, and the Pearl Mosque, all offering views of the Taj Mahal. Spend approximately one hour at this historic monument.
- Itmad-ud-Daula - Itmad-ud-Daula is the first monument in India constructed entirely of marble. Built between 1622 and 1628 by Queen Nur Jahan as a tribute to her father, Mirza Ghiyas, an imperial officer honored with the title Itmad-ud-Daula (Pillar of State) by Emperor Jahangir, this Mughal mausoleum is located on the western bank of the Yamuna River near the Yamuna Bridge Railway Station in Agra. Often referred to as the Jewel Box or Baby Taj, it resembles a smaller version of the Taj Mahal.

Great place and tour. Better than the photos - Amazing place and a great tour. Azeem was a superb guide, he was knowledgable, informative and really enthusiastic about Agra and knew all the spots to get the best photos. He helped us find our way through the large crowds easily and also took some great photos of us.

Agra sightseeing - Our guide Faizan met us at our accommodation near Agra. He was early, polite and very knowledgeable. My wife is a keen photographer so Faizan was able to take us to some great places, Agra Fort, baby Taj and a local village where we were able to meet real people doing real things. An obvious highlight was the Taj Mahal itself which we saw early in the morning. Faizan was a great guide and we recommend him to others.

Top notch Taj Mahal - Top Notch Taj Mahal Experience
Had the pleasure of having Imran as our tour guide when we came to visit the Taj.
The tour company was very prompt but also very flexible with our plans. We were able to stop along the way grab to lunch.
The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and we learn a lot about the history and culture. Coming from the france I can say his English was excellent.
Would highly highly highly recommend and rebook with the same company / tour guide if we were would come back again to India.

Taj Mahal visit fine but post visit experience not nice - Our tour guide was Azeem. The Taj Mahal tour was okay and he clicked good pictures for us as he knew all the good spots.
Giving low rating due to post tour experience. We were blindsided into visiting a marble shop in the name of seeing local artisans - Arts&Life. Azeem did not inform us properly and took us directly to this marble shop where they charged extremely high prices for the souvenirs. He took us to another jwellery shop as well. At the end he was persistent with leaving him a review the same day.

Taj Mahal tour - We visited Taj Mahal with a group of friends for New year's eve 2024. We wanted to go early so that there are not many people and Azeem was really friendly and nice from the beginning. He had some nice tips and helped us take nice pictures. He also gave us advice of what to avoid with the scammers on the street.
All of that was ruined when he insisted on us giving him a review and waited on top of us until we did. In addition, when giving him a tip at the end of the tour he showed he wasn't happy and asked for more. Really bad end of a nice day.

Be careful with Azeem - As someone mentioned in the comments, Azeem knows a few spots. During the trip he takes you to an overpriced marble shop while misleading you about prices elsewhere. At the end of the already paid tour, he pressured me to give him an additional tip of 1,500 rupees, which is an excessive amount. Before that, he even convinced me to write a positive review.

A general feeling of being cheated - We had a tour of taj mahal for 3 hours followed by a few stops at a marble shop and art and craft shop (planned by the guide Azeem).
Although the visit to tajmahal was OK, the visit to the shops felt very forced upon us. Plus the articles were extremely overpriced.
Be cautious before doing any purchase.
