Upon arrival, you will bypass the long ticketing lines with your government-licensed expert guide. We will explore the magnificent ivory-white marble mausoleum, the guest house, and the surrounding mosque. I will share the 'unscripted' history of Emperor Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal while taking you to the best, crowd-free spots for photos. You will have plenty of time to admire the intricate stone inlay work and stroll through the beautiful Mughal gardens at your own pace.

Explore the massive red sandstone walls of the Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the former royal residence of the Mughal Emperors. I will guide you through its intricate courtyards, including the Diwan-i-Aam and the Diwan-i-Khas. You will stand on the very balcony where Emperor Shah Jahan spent his final years, offering a poignant, distant view of the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna River. We will uncover the political intrigue and royal lifestyle of the Mughal court.
