The experience

If you're arriving in Delhi and want to see both the city and the Taj Mahal without planning the logistics yourself, this tour handles the whole route. You get picked up from your hotel or airport, then spend day one exploring Delhi's major sites: starting at Qutub Minar, a 12th-century UNESCO monument, then moving through Lodhi Gardens and Humayun's Tomb, both filled with Mughal-era architecture. The guide walks you through Lotus Temple, Parliament House, and the Presidential Palace, then takes you into Old Delhi's narrow bazaars by tuk-tuk, where you'll visit Jama Masjid and the spice market at Khari Baoli. That evening, your driver takes you to Agra (about three hours by car), and you stay overnight at your chosen hotel.

Day two starts before dawn. You're driven to the Taj Mahal for sunrise: the marble catches the light as it changes, and your guide explains the story of Emperor Shah Jahan building it for his wife Mumtaz Mahal in 1630. After breakfast back at your hotel, you visit Agra Fort, a 17th-century UNESCO site with courtyards and pavilions, then Itmad-ud-Daulah (called the "Baby Taj"), the first Mughal monument built entirely in white marble. By afternoon, your driver takes you back to Delhi or to Agra airport if you prefer.

The car is private (a sedan for one or two people, a wagon for three to five, a van for larger groups), so you're not sharing with strangers. Bottled water is provided during drives, and all entry tickets, parking, tolls and fuel are already included. The guide is government-approved and speaks your language. If you book with a hotel, you choose the standard (3-star, 4-star or 5-star), and rooms are twin-sharing by default. If three people want two rooms instead, there's an extra charge at checkout. You can also book the tour without accommodation if you're staying with friends or have your own plans.

Is this one for you?Choose the 2-day version if you're arriving in Delhi with limited time and want to see both the city and the Taj Mahal without arranging transport, tickets or a guide separately: the private car and fixed itinerary mean you move through both cities without gaps or negotiation. If you have more time, the 4-day tour adds Jaipur and spreads the pace. If you only want Agra and the Taj Mahal, a shorter option exists. Book with a hotel if you prefer not to arrange your own lodging in Agra. Book without one if you're staying elsewhere or want to choose your own accommodation.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (under 15).

What time does the tour start and when do I get picked up?

Pickup is available from anywhere in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad or Faridabad at a time you choose. Day one covers Delhi sightseeing before the evening drive to Agra. Day two begins early in the morning for the Taj Mahal sunrise visit.

Is the Taj Mahal visit really at sunrise, and why does that matter?

Yes, the tour takes you to the Taj Mahal in the early morning to see it at sunrise. The white marble changes color as the light shifts, and you avoid the crowds that arrive later in the day.

What's included in the price, and what do I need to pay extra for?

If you book with accommodation, one night's hotel is included. Gratuities for the guide and driver are optional.

Can I customize the tour or skip certain sites?

The tour can be customized as per your requirements. Speak with the operator at booking about which sites matter most to you.

What happens if I'm arriving on a Thursday or if I want to visit on a Friday?

If your tour starts on Thursday, day one covers Agra and day two covers Delhi (the reverse of the standard itinerary). The Taj Mahal is closed every Friday, so Friday departures are not available.

Do I need to bring anything for monument entry?

Carry a valid photo ID (you can keep it on your phone) for entry to the monuments. If you're flying in, provide your flight details at booking so the driver can track your arrival.
