Taj Mahal Tour
See the Taj Mahal in its greatest incarnations — golden under sunrise, radiant under moonlight, serene under afternoon sun. Exclusive, guided, and perfectly timed, each visit becomes a memory to cherish forever.
The Taj Mahal is more than a structure; it’s a marble poem, a love story of eternity, a UNESCO World Heritage Site which inspires awe and respect in all its visitors. However, visiting it the right way is essential for an unforgettable experience.
We have planned our Taj Mahal tours with one objective in mind — to provide you with the most personal, deep, and unique experience possible. Expert guides with years of experience in Agra. Perfect timing for optimal lighting. The most exclusive viewing angles that maps never show.
Enter at 5:30 AM when the Taj is glowing amber and crowds are a few people at best.
Guides certified by the Government, who reveal all the architectural secrets, love stories, and hidden symbolism.
The most unique experience in Agra, limited to 400 tickets only. We assist you in obtaining your tickets.
Visit the Taj with Agra Fort, Mehtab Bagh, or Fatehpur Sikri.

Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal between 1632 and 1653 as a mausoleum for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, who died in childbirth. Over 20,000 artisans from across Persia, the Ottoman Empire and India worked for 21 years to complete what many consider the world’s most perfect building.
Our expert guides go far beyond what you’ll read on any information board — revealing the optical illusions that make the minarets appear perfectly vertical, the 28 types of precious stones inlaid into the marble, the poetry from the Quran inscribed on every arch.
Agra and its surroundings are home to extraordinary UNESCO and heritage sites — each just a short drive from the Taj Mahal.

Everything you need to know before booking your Taj Mahal tour with Maharaja Tour.
The ideal time to visit the Taj Mahal is during sunrise, as it will be at its best with golden colors on it, cool temperature and minimum number of visitors. The period between October to March (winter in India) provides the most comfortable weather. The Taj Mahal remains closed on Fridays and other special days, which we consider while planning your dates.
Definitely! The moonlight tour of the Taj Mahal is quite amazing and unforgettable. The Taj Mahal remains open for moonlight tours on full moon days and the two days before and after it. Only 400 people get permission for moonlight tours per session. This is very rare so it is recommended that you contact us months in advance for obtaining your tickets.
Our charges for Taj Mahal tours cover your guide charges and private air-conditioned vehicle. Monument tickets are bought separately. We inform you about all the ticket charges while booking your tour, so there won’t be any hidden charges.
A typical guided Taj Mahal tour within the premises lasts around 2.5-3.5 hours. Our sunrise tour (which includes hotel pick-up, entry tickets and rooftop breakfast) will take around 4-5 hours. For a full day tour of Agra including the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Mehtab Bagh, plan for about 8-9 hours.
