Our visit to the Agra Fort was a memorable experience. The fort is immense and steeped in rich history, showcasing the grandeur of a bygone era. However, due to a previous unpleasant experience with a guide included in our package, we decided not to hire one this time—unfortunately, this proved to be a missed opportunity as a guide was essential to truly appreciate and explore the fort. Despite this, we made the most of our visit and explored everything we could. Always remember to arrange for a knowledgeable guide, especially when traveling with family in a private car, to ensure you don’t miss out on the deeper stories behind such incredible places.

The Fort is quite well maintained with not so long queues for tickets even during holiday season. Decent cleanliness has been maintained at the Fort and it can be completed easily in 1 to 1.5 hours. Avoid summers, as it may get too hot in Agra. Travel tip: It's better to take a guide. While there story may not be completely factual, it's better to have a story to supplement the view. Kindly bargain hard and they should be OK to give a tour for INR 250-300. If you are a small group, kindly join another group to share guide cost.

Beautiful fort with interesting history. It’s well preserved and a peaceful place to walk around. There are guides if you want, otherwise just say no even though they’re very insistent. Costs 600 inr to enter as a foreigner. Buy at the entrance. There is a bag check.

A well maintained fort with lot of history. One can buy online or offline tickets to enter into this fort, the tickets costs you around 40rs. 75% of the fort is for Indian army and entry is restricted for general public. Only 25% is allowed for sight seeing. One can have a decent view of Taj from this fort.

Beautiful fort of Akbar... Lots of rooms to see.. But u need a guide to explain each place..Rs 250 to Rs500 for a guide is available after much bargaining. There should be more boards explaining each area.

It was a great experience visiting this fort. We reached there just 10 minutes before ticket counter closing time which is 5:30 pm but fortunately we already booked our tickets online through official site so we were able to get entry into the Agra Fort. We had hired a guide at the place and it turns out to be a good decision. The guide had explained all the details very well and we were able to see the Fort in limited time. I would suggest you to hire a guide if you are interested in knowing history and details of how things were happening. Overall it was a good experience and it must be in your list if you are visiting Agra.

The fort has a fascinating history dating back to the Mughal Empire, and it still stands as an incredibly foreboding fortress today. The size and the architecture are brilliant, and extremely striking to see in person. If you can get a guide to explain all the different details of the fort it makes the experience that much better!
