Overview

This private day trip covers the route between New Delhi and Agra using the Gatimaan Express, the fastest train connecting the two cities. The round-trip train journey starts at 8:10 AM from New Delhi Nizamuddin station and takes about 1 hour 40 minutes to reach Agra. On arrival, a driver and local guide meet participants at Agra Cantonment railway station to begin sightseeing. The tour includes a visit to the Taj Mahal, where guests spend roughly three hours exploring the 17th-century marble mausoleum built by Emperor Shah Jahan. After the Taj Mahal, the group enjoys a buffet lunch at the Courtyard by Marriott hotel, featuring a variety of Indian dishes catering to vegetarian, non-vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free diets. Following lunch, there is a visit to Agra Fort for about an hour. This 16th-century UNESCO World Heritage Site contains several palaces and mosques, with views of the Taj Mahal. The next stop is the tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah, known as the Baby Taj, where visitors spend 30 to 40 minutes seeing the first white marble tomb in Agra with its geometric designs. The return train departs Agra Cantonment station at 5:35 PM and arrives at New Delhi Nizamuddin station by 7:30 PM. A private air-conditioned vehicle is provided for all transfers in Delhi and Agra, as well as sightseeing. The tour includes round-trip train tickets with breakfast on board, a professional tour guide, lunch, bottled water, and hotel pickup and drop-off within Delhi NCR. A professional photo on the Taj Mahal's VIP bench is also included.
