Lonely Planet Traveler's choice: Taj mahal, Agra fort, Fatehpur sikri and jaipur

A perfect day in Agra

My husband and our 2 friends had a wonderful time on our day trip to Agra. We were picked up by car at our hotel in East Delhi for the approximately 3 hour drive to Agra. Our first stop was the Taj Mahal, which was even more magical than I expected. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and also a fantastic photographer - he got some amazing pictures of our group. After the Taj Mahal we did a little shopping at a local vendor followed by a trip to Agra fort with our guide which was also very cool and had beautiful views of the Taj Mahal as well. We ended our day in Agra with dinner at a rooftop restaurant that was delicious and had yet another beautiful view of the Taj Mahal before our driver took us back to our hotel in Delhi. Anil at Back Packer travel was wonderful to work with - very helpful and responsive and put together the perfect trip for us. I would strongly recommend this trip for anyone looking to arrange a trip to the Taj Mahal.
