Overview

Though the Taj Mahal certainly wasn't built in a day, it's easy enough to visit it from Delhi in just one day, particularly if you have a private car to get you from your Delhi hotel and back. With this tour, your driver will take you straight from Delhi to the Taj, where a private guide will be waiting to show you around. Then you'll hit up Agra Fort, a beautiful sandstone complex dating to 1565, with time left over to visit the tomb of Itmad-ud-Daula (Baby Taj) and grab lunch before returning to Delhi.
• Visit the Taj Mahal and other major Agra sites in just one way
• Round-trip transportation from Delhi in a private vehicle is included
• Private tour for just you and your party
• A licensed tour guide will show you around Agra

What to expect

  1. New Delhi
    3h
    Start your Taj Mahal day trip from Delhi with convenient private pickup from your hotel, airport, or preferred location in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad, or Ghaziabad. Choose from flexible departure times between 2:00 AM and 10:00 AM, including a sunrise option for an unforgettable, crowd-free visit to the Taj Mahal during the peaceful early morning hours. Settle into your private, air-conditioned vehicle for the scenic drive to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway.
  2. Taj Mahal
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Skip the ticket line and step straight into the awe-inspiring Taj Mahal, India's most treasured landmark and the highlight of any visit to Agra. Accompanied by your private, government-licensed guide, explore the intricate marble inlay work, the symmetrical Mughal gardens, and the architecture that makes this masterpiece one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. Along the way, hear the real love story behind its construction and get guided to the monument's most picture-perfect photo spots.
  3. Agra Fort
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Step back into Mughal history at Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built from red sandstone in the 16th century. Once the main residence of the Mughal emperors before the capital shifted to Delhi, this massive fort complex offers sweeping views of the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna River. Your guide will bring the fort's palaces, courtyards, and history to life with stories of the emperors who once ruled from here.
  4. 1h · Admission ticket included
    Take a well-earned break with a buffet lunch at the 5-star DoubleTree by Hilton Agra. Refuel with a wide spread of Indian and international dishes in comfortable, air-conditioned surroundings before continuing your day of sightseeing.
  5. Itmad-ud-Daula
    30m · Admission ticket included
    Visit the beautifully carved tomb of Itmad-ud-Daula, often called the "Baby Taj" and widely believed to be the design blueprint for the Taj Mahal itself. Quieter and less crowded than the main monument, this hidden-gem stop lets you appreciate the same intricate marble inlay artistry up close, with your guide pointing out the architectural details most visitors miss.
  6. New Delhi
    3h
    After a full day exploring Agra's Mughal heritage, relax in your private, air-conditioned vehicle for the return drive to Delhi. Your driver will drop you back at your hotel, airport, or preferred location — door to door, with the day's memories (and photos) safely in hand.
