Private Taj Mahal Guided Excursion

Connect with your tour guide at the meeting point to begin the tour.
Head to the Taj Mahal - 'Crown of the Palace', an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the right bank of the river Yamuna in Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (r. 1628-1658) to house the tomb of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal; it also houses the tomb of Shah Jahan himself. The tomb is the centrepiece of a 17-hectare (42-acre) complex, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenellated wall.
After exploring the Taj Mahal, return to your drop-off location to conclude the tour.
