The experience

The day starts with pickup from your location in Delhi and a drive to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway. Your guide meets you in the car and travels with you the whole way. Entry tickets to both monuments are included, so you walk past the gate without stopping to buy them. Taj Mahal comes first: a UNESCO site built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife. Your guide explains what you are standing in front of while you move through it. Agra Fort, the red stone structure built by Emperor Akbar in the 16th century, is the second stop. The guide provides entry here as well.

Between the two monuments, you stop for lunch at a restaurant in Agra. The all-inclusive option includes this meal. The guide-only option lets you choose where to eat. Water is complimentary in the car throughout the day. If you want to add a visit to a marble craft or carpet-making workshop, your guide can arrange it. The return drive to Delhi follows the same expressway, and your driver drops you at any address in Delhi you name.

The guide speaks English, Spanish, French, German and two additional languages. All parking, tolls, fuel and taxes are covered in the price. The car is air-conditioned for the full journey.
