Description
This is a perfect tour for travelers who are planning a short stay in Agra and who want to visit two of India's most famous UNESCO World Heritage sites, The Taj Mahal and Agra Fort.
Experience a private 5-hour half-day tour of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. Benefit from a comfortable hotel pickup and drop-off and a private guide.
Start your morning with a 5:30 AM pickup from your hotel by your driver/guide. Be driven in a private air-conditioned vehicle towards India's most famous heritage site, The Taj Mahal. Built in the 17th century by Emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife, the monument took 22 years to complete. It's surely the most extravagant expression of love ever created.
Enjoy the most alluring view of the Taj Mahal in the relative quiet of the early morning, shrouded in mists and bathed in a soft morning glow. As its vast marble surfaces fall into the shadow or reflect the sun, the color changes from soft grey and yellow to pearly cream and dazzling white. After the Taj Mahal sunrise tour, be taken back to your hotel or to another location for breakfast.
After breakfast, visit the Agra Fort, a majestic creation by the Mughal Emperor, Akbar The Great. It's made of red sandstone and houses many beautiful palaces such as Diwan E Aam, Khas Mahal, Pearl Mosque, and Musamman Burj. It was here that Aurangzeb imprisoned his father, Shah Jahan.
After completing the tour, be dropped back at your hotel or any desired place in Agra city.
