Agra by fast train: the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, the Baby Taj and sunset at Mehtab Bagh.
The Gatimaan Express is one of India's fastest trains and covers the Delhi–Agra route in about 1 hour 40 minutes, with meals served on board. Taking the train avoids seven hours on the road and gives you a longer day in Agra, ending with the Taj Mahal from across the river at Mehtab Bagh.
Our driver takes you from your hotel to Hazrat Nizamuddin station and helps you find your coach and seat.
Breakfast is served on the train.
Your guide meets you on the platform, and your car takes you to the Taj Mahal.
A guided visit of the gardens, the mausoleum and the mosque.
The fort-palace of the Mughal emperors on the bank of the Yamuna.
Lunch at a restaurant in Agra (paid directly).
The Baby Taj, then Mehtab Bagh, the garden on the far bank of the river, for a view of the Taj Mahal in the late-afternoon light.
Dinner is served on board. Our driver meets you at Nizamuddin and takes you to your hotel or the airport.

The train is faster and more relaxing, and gives you more time in Agra. The car is more flexible about start times and works every day.
