Other Tourist Scams in Agra

Fake Tourist Office Near Agra Cantt Station

Near Agra Cantonment railway station and along MG Road, unofficial storefronts display signs reading Tourist Information, Approved Travel Help Desk, or Government Tourism Office. Staff inside sell overpriced tour packages, Taj Mahal entry tickets, and transportation at inflated rates, sometimes claiming the Taj is closed tomorrow to pressure same-day bookings. None of these offices are affiliated with the Archaeological Survey of India or Uttar Pradesh Tourism.
