Your private driver collects you from your hotel in Delhi, Gurugram or Noida, or from Delhi Airport, and you can rest in the air-conditioned car on the Yamuna Expressway to Agra.
  2. Taj Mahal
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Enter the Taj Mahal with skip-the-line tickets. On the 2:00 AM sunrise tour, you arrive as the first light turns the white marble soft gold; later start times visit during the day. Your government-licensed guide shares the story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal, shows you the inlay work up close, and helps you get photos at the best spots.

    Take a guided tour of Agra Fort, the red sandstone fortress of the Mughal emperors, and see the palace where Shah Jahan spent his last years looking out at the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna River.
  5. Elephant Conservation & Care Center
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Visit Wildlife SOS, India's leading elephant rescue centre near Mathura, home to elephants rescued from lives of hardship.
