About 18 months ago I took the tour offered in the lobby. I t was approx 90-100 USD. I heard about the train or hiring a private car and driver, but when it was all said and done, I was pleased with the lobby tour. sit back and let them handle it all. lunch was included at the Sheraton. We saw the Taj, another burial site, The Red Fort, etc. Stopped at an artisans market where you could purchase items from jewelry to rugs to inlaid tables. Most prices include shipping to the US (and yes it does arrive 6-8 weeks later). At the TAJ, don't be a typical cheap pilot...let a guide show you around the inside of the tomb (a couple of bucks) and have a photo taken (the quality is quite good and reasonable) they are just trying to put shoes on their kids feet too! It is long..I concur with the earlier post 0600-2200.
