Operated seamlessly by Great Tour India, this curated experience is perfect for travelers who want to see the best of Agra without the stress of planning. From hotel pick-up to Taj Mahal photos, everything is managed — and all you need to do is enjoy the ride.

🛤️ Your Day Begins: Morning Departure from Delhi

The day starts early, typically around 6:30 AM. A private car arranged by Great Tour India picks you up from your hotel in Delhi and drops you at the Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station. You board the Gatimaan Express, one of India’s fastest and most comfortable trains, which reaches Agra in just under 2 hours.

Enjoy a hot breakfast onboard as the countryside rolls past your window — it’s the calm before the adventure.

🕌 The Icon of Love: Taj Mahal at First Sight

Upon arrival in Agra, your local guide and chauffeur welcome you with a warm smile and your day officially begins.

First stop? The Taj Mahal.

You’ve seen the photos, read the stories — but nothing compares to seeing it in person. Built in the 17th century by Emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal is a white-marble masterpiece and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The elegant domes, delicate inlay work, and the peaceful garden all come together in breathtaking harmony.

Your expert guide from Great Tour India shares fascinating stories and lesser-known facts that make the experience even more personal.

🏯 Next Stop: The Agra Fort

After the Taj, it’s time to explore another gem of Mughal architecture — the Agra Fort.

Built with red sandstone and sprawling across 94 acres, this fortress is not just a military structure, but a former royal residence. Wander through the grand halls, courtyards, and balconies where emperors held court. You’ll get stunning views of the Taj Mahal from afar and learn about the strategic significance of this massive stronghold.

🌳 Optional Add-On: Mehtab Bagh or Itmad-ud-Daulah

Depending on your schedule, you may also visit Mehtab Bagh — a peaceful garden across the Yamuna River offering a fantastic rear view of the Taj — or Itmad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb, a smaller but beautifully designed monument that inspired the Taj’s design.

These optional stops are ideal for travelers who want more than just the usual tourist trail.

🍛 Authentic Agra Flavors for Lunch

After a morning of exploration, it’s time for lunch at a handpicked local restaurant known for its hygiene and authentic taste. Savor traditional Mughlai cuisine — from creamy butter chicken to vegetarian delicacies — topped off with Agra’s famous petha sweet.

Great Tour India ensures your dietary preferences are taken care of, with options for vegetarian, vegan, or Jain meals.

🛍️ Explore Local Handicrafts (Optional)

If you have some spare time, stroll through Agra’s bustling local markets. Known for their marble inlay work, leather goods, and handicrafts, these markets are perfect for picking up souvenirs and seeing skilled artisans at work.

🚆 Return to Delhi — Ending on a High Note

Your driver drops you back at the railway station, and by late afternoon, you’re on the Gatimaan Express again. Relax, reflect, and maybe scroll through the beautiful photos you’ve taken.

You’ll reach Delhi by evening, where your driver will be waiting to drop you at your hotel — safe, on time, and full of memories.
