Know More about this tour


Taj Mahal was built by the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan in the memory of paramour Mumtaj Mahal whose real name was Ajmand Bano Begum. She was given the title name as Mumtaj Mahal which signifies the Crown Palace. This tomb took 22 years time for the construction. This Epitome of love attracts the tourists for its elegant architecture and refined craftsmanship done by inlaid work done by semi precious stones in the white marble. In case the time suits you can prefer visiting the Taj Mahal at the time of dawn or dusk on account of capturing the colour change in the white marble to take instagram worthy pictures. You are suggested to bring less articles on account of saving time at the security spot during the guided tour.
The Agra fort presents before you an enchanting image with its high ramparts. The outer walls go on for 2.5 km and it houses a series of palaces constructed by various Mughal emperors. The note worthy palaces housed inside are- Deewane Khas, Deewan - E- Am, Musamman Burj, Khas Mahal, and Jahangeeri Mahal etc. Your expert tour guide will show you the place where Shahjahan was made house captive by his own son and died overlooking the Taj Mahal. The various points from this fort present nice view of the Taj Mahal to take pictures.

    We had a great experience in agra (tajmahal) .our guide Dr Gopal varma gave us clear details about tajmahal with lot of love towards art and architecture. He nailed our trip. Our driver Mr sanjeev took us to all places on time with patience.

    The tour was very nice. Starting from the booking, the pickup and the guide, everything was top notch. Esp our guide Mr Shyam, who is one of the most polite person I've ever met. Very knowledgeable and experienced, with perfect spoken English. Only negative feedback I can give is about the Driver, who was a bit harsh and did not always follow our wishes. For eg. Missing directions and playing his own music.

    I received very good service from SAM Tour team -Sunny - travel agent - Very helpful and supportive with clear and details information -Shyam - Taj mahal tour guide - I am super impressed with his stories about the mausoleum, he is PhD in history.

    I used the service of this local agency for various steps of my 3 weeks journey in India and was very impressed by their professionalism. Sunny looked after me from my first contact on WhatsApp all the way to waving us goodbye at the train Station from Agra to Varanasi. He was extremely responsive and all of the services provided were on time and as described. Strongly recommended!

    Our experience was great! The driver was pleasant and on time. He was our point of contact, stopping at good restaurants along the way. The guide was knowledgeable as well and walked us through the Taj Mahal and the Agra Fort. It was overall, a good experience

    We had Shyam as our tour guide and Ram as our driver and we would not have had it any other way. The tour itself is stunning. Seeing the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort is truly humbling, but the knowledge Shyam has about the history, the culture, the architecture and engineering brings the tour to life. Would 100% recommend this tour and recommend Shyam to any one wanting an experienced, friendly, knowledgeable tour guide, and Ram as a driver as he is safe, reliable, and friendly.

    This tour was a truly amazing experience. The tour guide Shyam bir Singh showed me around and provided me with a wealth of information about the history of the sites. It could totally visualize how life must have been centuries ago. He was very helpful and kind, and made sure I was well. The bookings experience was also fast, and the driver was timely and friendly. All in all I can truly recommend this tour company.

    Great experience. Lots of information given to us about the Taj Mahal and Fort, extremely attentive to our needs. Driver (Kapil) was always on time and lots of cold water provided which was essential for the boiling weather. Tour Guide Shyambir was extremely knowledgeable. I would perhaps avoid seeing how the marble is made as part of the tour as it can feel pressuring to buy something. Overall great experience - thanks so much :)

    Had great experience, especially with the last-minute booking. Thanks to Mr. Mudgal. Special thanks to Mr. Ravi Kumar for being patient and enthusiastic and showing us around.
