Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about our Agra tours, vehicle fleet, tickets, timings, and booking policies.

Sunrise is by far the most magical and best time to visit the Taj Mahal. The morning atmosphere is cool and serene, the tourist crowds are minimal, and the white Makrana marble catches the soft golden hues of dawn. Sunset views from across the Yamuna River at Mehtab Bagh are equally breathtaking.

The Taj Mahal is open from sunrise to sunset on all days EXCEPT Fridays, when it remains closed for religious congregational prayers. All other Agra monuments, including Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri, remain open on Fridays.

Our packages include private AC vehicle transport (doorstep pickup and drop from your hotel/airport in Delhi, Noida, or Gurgaon), toll taxes, state permits, parking fees, an English/multilingual government-licensed guide, and optional pre-booked skip-the-line entry tickets.
