Options
This tour comes with two different options: sunrise tour and morning tour:
Taj Mahal Sunrise Tour
We will collect you from your hotel in Delhi at early dawn and head south to Agra, the old capital of the Mughal Empire. After approximately three hours we will arrive at our first stop - the Taj Mahal. Considered one of the seven wonders of the world, this grand marble mausoleum from the 18th century has become the quintessential symbol of India.
With the first light of morning, we will tour the Islamic, Persian and Turkish style gardens which surround the Taj Mahal before entering the temple to contemplate its ornate interior. While we tour the red brick mosque and its interior patios, we will reveal the story of how it became a memorial to the emperor’s deceased wife, the beautiful Mumtaz Mahal.
After visiting the Taj Mahal, we continue our tour at Agra Fort, the largest in the country. This grand red citadel has been declared a World Heritage Site. Are you familiar with the legends of this place?
To recharge our batteries, we will head to a local restaurant, where you can enjoy a delicious Hindu breakfast (not included). If there is enough time after eating, we will visit Mehtab Bagh, the best viewpoint of the Taj Mahal.
Finally, we will return to the vehicle and head back to Delhi, arriving around 1:00 pm.
Taj Mahal Morning Tour
If you're not keen to get up quite so early, this tour has the same itinerary, but pick up is at 6:30 am.
The tour begins banks of the river Yamuna for a guided tour around the Taj Mahal, considered to be one of the seven wonders of the world. Then around midday we'll head to Agra to see its fort build by Emperor Akbar, it's one of the largest and most luxurious in all India. After having lunch in a local restaurant in Agra at around 1 pm we will then enjoy stunning views of the Taj Mahal from the banks of the Yamuna River - the perfect end to the perfect day.
Still captivated by the stunning views of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, we'll head back to Delhi or the airport, with the tour arriving back around 6 pm.
