Important information

Meeting point

The operator confirms the exact meeting point and time once your booking is confirmed, and you will have it well before the day. If you would rather know before you book, message us on WhatsApp and we will ask them for you.

Weather

This runs outdoors, so the operator can call it off for rain, wind or sea conditions, and that decision is usually made on the day. If they cancel, you choose: another date, or your money back in full. We do not keep a booking fee on a tour that did not run.

Yes, the Taj Mahal is strictly closed to the general public every Friday for religious prayers at the mosque within the complex. Plan your Agra itinerary accordingly. On Fridays, we recommend visiting Agra Fort, Itmad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj), or Mehtab Bagh for a stunning sunset view of the Taj.
