Things to do in Taj Mahal

Obviously the highlight was visiting The majestic Taj Mahal, but the trip was made even better through our personal Agra guide Imran. He was very patient and was very knowledgeable and proud to share the historical facts. Also, as a huge bonus, he is a great photographer who helped getting all the amazing, memorable shots. The speed train and local lunch also added to the experience. Overall, we really enjoyed our day 😊 Thank you Imran and team!

Our guide was amazing!!!! Imran (Happiness and prosperity) was the guide. Quickly got us through the lines and watched out for us. He even doubled up as a photographer and a magician! You'll find out what the second part means when you meet him!! The tour company is pretty responsive and will work with you. we booked 1st class, however, there wasn't any seats available. so they communicated and we were able to discuss options and figure everything out!

Our guide, IMTIAZ AHMAND, took us to recommended photo spots and took lots of pictures for us. The price is also reasonable, so it is highly recommended.

The organizer will message you in Whatsapp (if you have it) as soon as you book. He will update you of the details of the trip and all. The driver arrived earlier than scheduled and the car is nice and smelt great, everything is hygienic! I’m solo and they gave me two bottles of water. The ride was smooth all the way. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and gives lots of trivia. You can ask questions freely. He really knows his stuff. He will also ask you if you want a pro photographer. Just know that you will take lots of photos and 1 photo is 100 INR. You can choose but he will try to ask if you want all. Next, you’ll go to a handicrafts store selling marble souvenirs, the cheapest is 1000 INR (for a ref magnet made of marble). There are a lot of nice stuff but if you’re on a budget, better ask the guide to skip it. Also, the restaurant (Lotus Restaurant) where they took me is very good. The Butter Chicken is the best! Overall, highly recommended for a smooth visit to the Taj Mahal.

We had an incredible experience with Mr. Nadeem and driver Vivek on the tour for Taj Mahal! Their knowledge about the history of Taj Mahal, AGRA FORT was impressive, and also the culture as well as the ,traditions of India..and they made the history come alive with interesting stories. Nadeem was also very patient with me and my friend and made sure that we are comfortable and well taken care of. Highly recommended! sharing our photos for the higlights of our tour..

Honestly, even though I'd seen it in photos hundreds of times, seeing it in person was a completely different experience. First of all, the whiteness. It looks faintly pink when hit by the morning light, and it's amazing how the expression changes depending on the time of day. It didn't just feel like a "big building," but rather like the whole atmosphere was designed. Up close, it's surprisingly delicate. The intricate marble decorations and the jewel-inlaid patterns (inlaid work) are really meticulous, to the point where you think, "Was this really made by human hands?" From a distance, it looks perfectly symmetrical, but up close, there are human touches in the details. That contrast was impressive. Also, I think I understand a little why it's said to be a "symbol of love." This is the mausoleum built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for his deceased wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It's also a display of power, but more than that, it was a scale that made you feel a "level of obsession" in his love.
