Where better to go for a romantic vacation than to the great testament of love, the Taj Mahal? Built by the grieving Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his late wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal’s unrivaled beauty explains why it’s regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world. A visit to India wouldn’t be complete without it. Other must-experience destinations in Agra are two other UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the sandstone Red Fort and Fatehpur Sikri.

Did a tour of the Taj with Kamran ( registered guide ). What an amazing experience. From the entrance of drop off zone for Taj, to getting there. From getting our tickets ( bypassing the line) to getting us entered into the complex. From explaining the historical facts and clearing up a lot of wrongful info floating around about the Taj to taking amazing pictures of us....it was an unforgettable experience. The ideas I had for the Taj and the sort of pictures I wanted...was exactly what I got ( maybe a little bit more )....PS. we got there at 5 pm and were running a little short on time. However, he showed us around and helped us with the tour and pictures as much as was humanly possible. Thank you Kamran !!! If I ever get a chance to visit the monument again, I will definitely hire him. ????
