Planning

Historical Context

Commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, the monument was completed in its entirety in 1653 at a cost of approximately 32 million rupees at that time.

Photography Tips

  • Use a wide-angle lens for the main structure
  • Golden hour (first 30 mins after sunrise) provides the best skin tones and marble glow
  • Tripods are strictly prohibited without a special permit.

Insider Tips

  • Avoid bringing large bags; security is very strict and locker facilities are limited.
  • The best reflection photos are taken from the central fountain area at the very start of the day.
  • Hire a photographer through the tour for about $10-$20 to get professional shots at the iconic spots.

Our Partners

  • In proud partnership with Viator and TripAdvisor to provide secure, world-class booking infrastructure.

Fun Facts

  • The Taj Mahal's four minarets were built leaning slightly outwards so that in the event of an earthquake, they would fall away from the main tomb.
  • The calligraphy on the large gates uses an optical illusion—the letters appear to be the same size from top to bottom.
  • It took 22 years and 20,000 workers to complete the structure.

Cancellation Policy

Most of our partner tours offer a full refund if cancelled at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time. Some train tours may have stricter policies due to railway ticket regulations.

Flawless Private Experience

The pickup from our Delhi hotel was exactly on time at 3:00 AM. Our guide in Agra was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the Mughal Empire. Seeing the Taj Mahal at sunrise is a memory I will cherish forever. Highly recommend the private car option!

Fast and Efficient

We took the Gatimaan Express train tour. It was very fast and the breakfast on the train was quite good. Our guide met us right at the platform in Agra. Efficient way to see everything in one day.

Great Value for Money

For the price we paid, the service was exceptional. Private AC car, a great guide, and skip-the-line entry. It saved us so much time and hassle.

Beautiful Architecture

Agra Fort was just as impressive as the Taj Mahal. I'm glad we chose a tour that included both. The marble workshop visit was also very interesting.
