Agra to Fatehpur Sikri taxi service
Fatehpur Sikri is only 40 km west of Agra and is the easiest UNESCO site to add to a Taj Mahal itinerary. Akbar's capital was abandoned within 15 years of being built, which is why it survives so completely intact.
It is a half-day trip in practice: an hour out, two hours walking the palace complex and Jama Masjid, an hour back.

What's included
Your Agra to Fatehpur Sikri fare covers fuel, driver allowance, state permits and tolls. Parking is billed at actuals and itemised on your invoice — nothing is added at the end of the trip.
- The last stretch from the parking area is covered by an official shuttle; the driver waits at the lot.
- Unofficial guides are persistent at the gate — book an ASI-approved guide instead if you want one.
- Continuing to Jaipur the same day? This route works perfectly as a stop rather than a separate trip.
