The Journey Begins Early

We appreciate the early start because it helps beat Delhi traffic and the inevitable crowds later in the day. The private, air-conditioned vehicle, often an SUV or luxury sedan, offers a comfortable ride along the Yamuna Expressway, one of India’s most modern and smooth highways.

This early departure is a smart move — reviews mention that it helps avoid the crush of travelers and gives you more time at each monument. Plus, the drive through the countryside offers a glimpse of rural India, contrasting sharply with the opulence of the monuments.

Many reviewers, like the one from Japan, appreciated guides like Manoj and Bilal for their clear, thorough explanations and ability to find less crowded paths — making the experience more comfortable and less overwhelming.

Post-lunch, you’ll visit the Baby Taj around 2:30 PM. Often described as a “draft” of the Taj Mahal, this mausoleum is renowned for its delicate inlay work and Persian gardens. Many reviewers find it visually stunning, with intricate stonework and frescoes that aren’t as crowded as the Taj Mahal, allowing for more relaxed exploration.

Reviewers like Gloria from the US appreciated their guide Baba for being helpful, informative, and engaging during this visit, making it one of the tour’s more intimate moments. This site offers a different view of Mughal architecture, less grand but equally beautiful.
