You will be meeting with your tour guide in the parking area who will brief you about the complete plan of Taj Mahal Day Tour so that you can focus on your enjoyment without worrying about anything.

After meeting your tour guide, it is now time to see the real highlight of Taj Mahal Day Trip which is the magnificent Taj Mahal itself. You have to pass through a security check before entering the main complex and only water bottles are allowed inside. You do not need to stand in long lines as your tour guide would already have the entry tickets. Shahjahan started the construction of this mausoleum after the death of his wife. More than 20000 workers used to work day and night still it took them 17 years to complete this and it took 5 more years to finish surrounding areas. After spending more than two hours inside the complex, it is now time to move to another place that is also a part of your Taj Mahal Day Trip by Car from Delhi and you should not miss it.

After exploring the main highlight of Taj Mahal Day Trip, you will reach at Agra Fort which also a heritage site that is located close to the Taj. This massive Fort was built by Akbar in 16th century and it was being used as the residence by many emperors. There are many wonderful places to see inside this fort such as “Diwan-I-Aam” and “Diwan-I-Khas” where tourist love to click pictures. The original structure of this fort has been modified several times by many rulers and some places were constructed later during renovations.

After taking a break for lunch, you need to move towards “Baby Taj” and Mehtab Bagh that are also a part of Day Trip to Taj Mahal itinerary. Baby Taj look similar to the Taj Mahal and people say that it has inspired the construction of Taj. Mehtab Bagh is a very good place for photography as it is situated on the left bank of Yamuna River and offers nice view of Taj Mahal at the time of sunset. Both of these places are integrated part of the itinerary but if you do not have much time then you can skip them and move forward to local markets and food streets.
