Useful tips:

At Agra, taxi services are easily available to navigate to tourist spots, which usually charge on a per-day basis. It is advisable to visit the premises during the early morning hours to avoid waiting in long lines (Taj Mahal and Agra Fort). If you plan to visit a local outlet, carry cash as ATMs can be challenging to find in the town. Furthermore, visit Fatehpur Sikri on the second day as it is farther from the city center.
