This is not a review of Taj. It is more related to the directions to Taj, and hence in turn would directly relate to the agra city corporation or even the government at the center.
Coming from Delhi(or might be from any other place) and finding directions to Taj is very troublesome experience. The directions to the one of the new 7 wonders on world are missing and leave you to the helm of local people to ask and get directions to Taj. I was expecting a smooth drive from Delhi highway to Taj but was absolutely amazed and shocked to see and be part of the "search the wonder" misery.
With such historical importance more effort should be put in to give proper directions at all place to ensure smooth drive. While me and my brother stood in the line to enter Taj, I was not the only one cribbing about the drive. I found many other people who joined in a discussion and everybody saying the same. It would not be such a big problem for foreign tourists as most of them would hire a cab/hotel vehicle and reach there straight. It is the local people like us who have to face the issue in our own country.
But one view of the magnificent Taj makes you forget all the trouble you took to reach there.
(which explains poor rating to the product with a recommendation:)
Hope the authorities take notice and do simple things of putting up directions to the wonder.
