Delhi to Agra and back in a day: the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and the Baby Taj with a private guide.
The most popular way to see the Taj Mahal from Delhi. You leave in the early morning, travel to Agra on the Yamuna Expressway in your own car, and spend the middle of the day at the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Itmad-ud-Daulah with a guide.
Pickup and drop-off can be at any hotel, the airport or a railway station in Delhi, Noida or Gurugram.
Our driver collects you from your hotel, the airport or a railway station in Delhi, Noida or Gurugram. Tell the driver whenever you want a tea or coffee stop on the way.
Meet your guide in Agra. Visit the Taj Mahal, commissioned by Shah Jahan in 1631 in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal: the gateway, gardens, mausoleum and mosque.
The red sandstone fort rebuilt by Akbar from 1565, with Jahangir's palace, the Khas Mahal and the marble pavilions of Shah Jahan.
Lunch at a restaurant of your choice, or one your guide recommends (paid directly). Optional visit to a marble-inlay workshop afterwards.
The marble tomb built by Empress Nur Jahan for her father, often called the Baby Taj for its delicate inlay.
