Taj Mahal Sightseeing with Imran Khan - I am from Srilanka and visited Taj Mahal in September with two of my friends during a visit to India. When we reached Agra by train from Delhi, it was around 4.30pm and we got to know that Taj Mahal usually close after sun set. We were worried that we would not be able get to see Taj Mahal properly because time was not on our side. Luckily we met a tour guide called Imran Khan who helped us to cover the most important areas of the place. Not only he showed us around within an hour, he explained the history and even took our pictures on the way. After we were done, he even took us to a near by restaurant for dinner and helped to find a taxi back to Delhi as we had to go back the same day. I would highly recommend Imran if you are planning to visit Taj Mahal. Tell your requirement in advance to him and he would make sure you have the best time.
