Your guide will explain the history and the significance of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Note:Taj Mahal remains closed on each Friday.

01:00 PM: Visit Agra Fort

After the Taj Mahal, you will visit the Agra Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage Site and a massive red sandstone fortress that was the seat of the Mughal Empire for centuries. You will see the impressive palaces, halls, mosques and gardens inside the fort, and learn about the life and the legends of the Mughal rulers.

 Verified Full day Taj, fort and elephant conservation.
Wonderful full day starting at 2 am to get to Taj Mahal for Sunrise. We didn’t see a sunrise as was cloudy but definitely worth it to beat the heat and the crowds. Also went to Agra Fort and Elephant conservation. Our guides and driver were fabulous , professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour. The Guide Sumit, Chand and driver Shiv were great.
