(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Sunrise At The Taj Mahal
Our government-approved tour guide will meet you at the Taj Mahal entry gate. You’ll receive a detailed guided tour as you walk through the grand entrance and witness the breathtaking sunrise view of the Taj Mahal. As the first golden light touches the white marble, your guide will explain the history, architecture, and romantic legend of the Taj Mahal. You'll have time to explore the monument, take beautiful photos, and learn about the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan and his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal.
Agra Fort
After visiting the Taj Mahal, you'll head to the majestic Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the former imperial residence of the Mughal dynasty. Our licensed guide will accompany you through the grand red sandstone walls, showing you key areas such as the Diwan-i-Aam (Hall of Public Audience), Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace), and the Musamman Burj, where Shah Jahan spent his final years gazing at the Taj Mahal. You’ll learn about Mughal military architecture, royal court life, and how the fort played a vital role in India’s history.
Itmad-ud-Daula
Often referred to as the "Baby Taj", this beautiful mausoleum is considered the inspiration behind the Taj Mahal's design. Your guide will walk you through the first Mughal structure built entirely in white marble, showcasing intricate pietra dura inlay work, delicate lattice screens, and peaceful gardens. You’ll discover the story of Mirza Ghiyas Beg, the Persian nobleman buried here, and learn how this monument influenced later Mughal architecture — especially the Taj Mahal.
