Tour Plan
Your day starts with a comfortable pickup from your hotel/home in Delhi/NCR by an air-conditioned car. You’ll be escorted to the Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station to board the Gatimaan Express, India’s fastest train.
Board the Gatimaan Express, which departs at 8:10 AM. Enjoy a complimentary breakfast onboard as you relax on your way to Agra.
Upon arrival at Agra, you’ll be greeted by your private tour guide and driver. Your Agra sightseeing adventure begins!
Your first stop is the magnificent Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Your guide will take you through the romantic story behind this white marble mausoleum built by Emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal.
Note: The Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays.
Next, visit the impressive Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Explore the red sandstone palaces, audience halls, and the chambers where Shah Jahan was once held captive by his son.
Savor a delicious lunch at a 5-star hotel or recommended local restaurant (buffet or à la carte). Enjoy North Indian flavors and Mughlai delicacies.
Often referred to as the “Baby Taj,” this elegant mausoleum predates the Taj Mahal and is considered an architectural precursor to it. A great stop for photography lovers.
Visit local marble inlay workshops, carpet weavers, or handicraft emporiums. This is a great opportunity to see traditional craftsmanship and shop for souvenirs.
After a fulfilling day, your driver will drop you at the Agra railway station to board the Gatimaan Express back to Delhi.
