The Taj Mahal 'Crown of the Palace' is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the right bank of the river Yamuna in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (r. 1628–1658) to house the tomb of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal; it also houses the tomb of Shah Jahan himself. The tomb is the centerpiece of a 17-hectare (42-acre) complex, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenellated wall.

Had the privilege to attend (English) Taj tour with our local guide Imran Khan. He is very knowledgeable and kind & as a woman i felt safe walking around the Taj grounds with him.
Go early and enjoy the quiet. Worth getting the professionals there to take some photos for you. Learn about the story of the Taj!

Thank you for your kind words! We’re glad you had an enjoyable experience with Azeem—his friendly nature and detailed explanations truly make tours special. 😊
Imran Alikhan told us everything about the Taj Mahal, the history but also about India as a country. His English is very good and he is proactive in guiding. I would recommend him.
It’s a totally doable tour for sure. The peace the place has, is something that always has been a bit of food for the soul. To see the iconic Taj Mahal, with a private guide who went at our pace and of course, answered all our questions as well. Viator had fixed the tour via Markable Tours who have offices in Delhi and Agra. The Guide we were assigned was Ankur Sharma, who was simply amazing. He has a very easy manner and a very nice way of explaining things. He took us to spots in the Taj Mahal complex which made our trip all the more interesting. Even though we have been here several times before, we got to learn new and important aspects of this very beautiful monument. He kept us engaged while giving us the space to take in the place and the beauty of the setting and construction, which is a difficult thing to do, for sure Even though it is touted as a monument to love, I believe it is a monument built by architects and builders, who were perhaps spiritual sort of persons and cared deeply about building a structure with the right energies. Seeing it with Ankur Sharma made it all the more enjoyable.
Good communication from the beginning. Well organised, pick up on time. Our guide spoke Russian as we requested. No queue. Ideal. Все было хорошо организовано, во время и без очереди. Экскурсия по русски.
Ankur sharma is a great tour guide and photographer. We genuinely enjoyed our trip with him and recommend it.
An excellent guide who conducts tours with real passion and impressive knowledge of the Taj. Imran Ali Khan made our visit truly enjoyable.
