Taj Mahal Sunrise Sunset Tour by Car From Delhi

Quick answer

See the Taj Mahal twice in one day — at sunrise and again from Mehtab Bagh at sunset — with Agra Fort, a marble workshop, Itimad-ud-Daulah's Tomb and shopping time in between. The longest and most complete same-day Agra itinerary we offer.

Overview

If one visit to the Taj Mahal isn't enough, this is the tour that gives you two: dawn light through the morning mist, and the golden hour view from Mehtab Bagh across the river in the evening.

In between, there's time for Agra Fort, the marble inlay workshops the Taj itself is famous for, the 'Baby Taj', and some free time to browse Agra's handicraft bazaars.
