The experience

The tuk-tuk arrives at your hotel or train station in the early morning. You and your guide climb into the three-wheeled taxi and head straight to the Taj Mahal, the 17th-century marble tomb built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial to his wife Mumtaz. You walk the grounds with your guide explaining the architecture and history as you move through the monument. After exploring, you break for lunch at a multi-cuisine restaurant in Agra where your guide helps you find a place that suits what you want to eat.

From there the tuk-tuk takes you to Agra Fort, built in 1565 by Emperor Akbar. It's another major Mughal structure, and your guide walks you through its layout and significance. If you're interested, you can stop at a local bazaar afterward to browse. The optional third stop is the Tomb of Itmad-ud-Daulah, sometimes called the Baby Taj because it's often described as a jewel box and regarded as a draft of the Taj Mahal itself. This one works best for a sunset view if you choose to add it.

The tour runs six hours total. Your guide speaks one of five languages, so you get commentary in the one you understand. Water is provided throughout. Toll tax, parking and driver allowance are covered. If you book the all-inclusive option, monument entry fees are included as well. Children from five years old can ride. Younger infants can travel in a pram or stroller, and specialized infant seats are available if you need one.
