The best Taj Mahal tour with a guide is our Taj Mahal overnight from Delhi, from $150 per person for two travellers sharing. A licensed guide takes you through the Taj Mahal and Agra, with your own car and driver. For one day, choose the Taj Mahal day trip from $75.
A good guide is what turns the Taj Mahal from a photograph into a story. This page is for travellers who want a licensed guide with them for the visit, in a private group, at their own pace.
We ranked journeys on guide time at the monument, the pace of the day and privacy. Our guides are licensed, and each journey includes a guide in every city.
