Short wait to get in. Security was good but did not take too long. The buildings and surrounds were very well looked after. More

Compared to the architectural wonders found outside India, a lot more can be done to prevent visitors from littering and controlling the crowd. Best... More

The Taj Mahal is well worth a visit. It is open daily except Fridays. You may, however, no food and no clean-taking with chewing gum and no water bottles. One should do in time for the sunrise, as the passenger and bag check is very slow. In the complex there are two mausoleums and a small museum, also enough benches... More

Definitely a wonder of the world. Breathtaking experience when one consider the size, beauty, symmetry and delicate artistic carvings. Should see it early in the morning once, and again in the sunset from Mehtaab bagh, across the river. More

The Taj is the Taj and there is no other building to rival it. Look at it from any angle and it will still take your breath away. More

Wow what a place, we went through the day and back at sunset it was so lovely. Make sure you only take your camera, money and water. Any food or a camera tripod will be binned on entry. More

We arrived in Agra the night before our trip to see the famous Taj Mahal. We took a bus, then walked to the site and stood in line for about an hour with hundreds of other people around 5 AM. Upon entering the site and viewing the Taj Mahal for the first time, it was a moment of pure wonder!... More

It made me speechless. Words cannot express how it feels to actually see it and be there. Even if you already know the history of Taj Mahal, just hearing the tour guide tell it all over again gives you goosebumps. Thumbs up! More
