"East gate is closed" tout at the Taj Mahal

📍 Agra, India

🗓️ Scam date: 11 November 2025

📝 Reported: 21 June 2026

A tout claimed the east gate was "closed for VIPs" and that only the south gate was open, offering a rickshaw there for 500 rupees. All gates were open and the east gate was a five-minute walk. Never believe touts about ticket gates.

Marble inlay "factory outlet" charged triple the bazaar price

📍 Agra, India

🗓️ Scam date: 20 December 2025

📝 Reported: 22 March 2026

The marble inlay "factory outlet" near the Taj charged triple what the same pieces cost in Agra's Sadar Bazaar. The "workshop demonstration" is designed to guilt you into buying. The craftsmen are real; the tourist price is not.
