A Fast and Easy Journey Begins

Your day begins early in the morning with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Delhi.

This premium train covers the distance in just 90 minutes, giving you more time to explore and less time on the road.

Welcome to Agra – The City of Love

Once you arrive at Agra Cantt Railway Station, a professional local guide and a private chauffeur will be waiting for you. The hospitality and personal attention from Discover The Taj Company are evident from the very first moment. Your sightseeing adventure begins right away, ensuring every minute is well-spent.

Witness the Grandeur of the Taj Mahal

The first stop—and undoubtedly the highlight—is the Taj Mahal. As you walk through the grand entrance gate and catch your first glimpse of the white marble structure shining under the sun, it’s hard not to be awestruck.

Built in the 17th century by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal is an eternal symbol of love. Your expert guide will share fascinating stories, legends, and architectural details that make the experience truly come alive. Don’t forget to take some incredible photos with the reflection pool—it’s one of the most iconic shots in the world.

Explore the Majestic Agra Fort

Next, you’ll visit the Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This red sandstone fortress was once the main residence of the Mughal emperors and is filled with history. Inside, you’ll discover beautiful palaces, mosques, and audience halls that reflect a rich fusion of Islamic and Hindu architectural styles.

From one of the fort's towers, you can even see the Taj Mahal in the distance—a view that once comforted the imprisoned Shah Jahan in his final days.

Optional Stop at Itimad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj)

Depending on your schedule and interest, your guide may take you to Itimad-ud-Daulah, often called the "Baby Taj." This lesser-known gem is the first tomb in India built entirely of white marble and is considered a draft version of the Taj Mahal. Its intricate carvings and serene gardens make it a peaceful and charming visit.

Savor Authentic Mughlai Cuisine

After a morning of exploring, it’s time for lunch at one of Agra’s top-rated restaurants. Enjoy Mughlai cuisine, famous for its rich flavors, creamy curries, and tandoori dishes. Whether you prefer vegetarian or non-vegetarian meals, your guide will ensure you have a satisfying and safe dining experience.

Shopping and Local Crafts (Optional)

If time permits and you're interested, the tour can include a short visit to a local artisan market. Agra is famous for its marble inlay work, leather goods, and handwoven carpets. Watching craftsmen work up close is fascinating, and you might even find the perfect souvenir to take home.

Return Journey to Delhi

In the evening, you’ll be escorted back to Agra Cantt Railway Station to board the Gatimaan Express to Delhi. You’ll enjoy another smooth ride with dinner served on board. Upon arrival, your driver will drop you safely at your hotel.

By the end of the day, you’ll have experienced the Taj Mahal, explored the best of Agra, and traveled in comfort—without any of the usual hassles of planning or transportation.
