Hyderabad to the Taj Mahal and back in one day, with flights, a private car and a guide.
A day trip for travellers based in Hyderabad who want to see the Taj Mahal without taking extra leave. The flight to Delhi takes a little over two hours; pickup is around 3:30 am and you are home late at night.
If you can spare a weekend, our 3-day Delhi, Agra and Jaipur tour from Hyderabad is a more relaxed option.
Our driver collects you from your hotel or home in Hyderabad at about 3:30 am for the early flight to Delhi. In Delhi, your driver waits in the arrivals hall with your name on a sign.
Drive to Agra on the Yamuna Expressway. Your guide joins you on arrival in Agra.
Your guide takes you through the Great Gate to the gardens, the mausoleum and the mosque, explaining the story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal and the inlay work in the marble.
Lunch at a restaurant of your choice, or one your guide recommends (lunch is paid directly).
The red sandstone fort of the Mughal emperors, with Jahangir's palace and the marble pavilions built by Shah Jahan, including the octagonal tower where he spent his last years in captivity with a view of the Taj.
Drive back to Delhi airport for the evening flight. In Hyderabad, our driver takes you home or to your hotel.

The price depends on the number of travellers, your dates, the hotels you choose and any changes to the itinerary, so we quote each trip individually. Send an inquiry and we will reply with availability, the exact inclusions and a price for your group.
Nothing is booked until you confirm. Payment terms and cancellation charges are set out in your written confirmation; see our cancellation policy for the standard terms.
Yes, but it is a long day of about 18–20 hours door to door, with roughly seven hours in the car. It suits travellers with no other option. If you can spare a second day, staying overnight in Agra is far more comfortable; see our Taj Mahal Overnight Tour.
We choose the earliest morning flight from Hyderabad to Delhi and an evening flight back that leaves enough time for the drive. Exact times depend on the airline schedule on your date.
No. The Taj Mahal is closed to visitors every Friday.
