The experience

The drive from Delhi to Agra takes about three hours each way on the Yamuna Expressway, one of India's best roads. You're picked up from your hotel or any location in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad or Faridabad in a private air-conditioned car sized for your group: a four-seater sedan for one or two people, a six-seater wagon for three to five, or a larger van if your party is bigger. The driver is English-speaking and stops for restroom breaks or snacks whenever you ask.

At the Taj Mahal, your guide meets you with entry tickets already in hand, so you walk straight past the line at the gate. The guide takes you inside and gives you a full tour, then steps back if you want time alone or photos. You stay as long as you want. After the Taj Mahal, the guide takes you to either Agra Fort (built by Emperor Akbar in 1565 and toured for about an hour to cover its history and architecture), or the Tomb of I'timad-ud-Daulah, also called the Baby Taj, depending on which you choose at booking. Again, tickets are waiting and you skip the queue.

Between the monuments and the drive back, you have lunch at one of several 5-star restaurants: Double Tree By Hilton, Bon Barbeque, Two Saints, Cairo or Molecule. The guide gives you the options and you pick. After lunch, you're driven back to your starting point in Delhi, Noida or Gurugram. Water bottles are provided throughout the day, and all parking, tolls, fuel and taxes are included in the price.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian and Japanese.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (6 to 14 years); Infant (under 6): free.

How long is the full day from pickup to drop-off?

The tour runs between 5 and 11 hours depending on how long you spend at each monument and whether you choose to visit Agra Fort or the Tomb of I'timad-ud-Daulah. The drive itself is three hours each way.

What's included in the different tour options?

Three options are available: Tour with Entrances includes the car, guide and monument tickets but not the 5-star lunch; All Inclusive Tour adds the lunch; Tour with Entrances from Agra starts from Agra instead of Delhi, so you arrange your own transport to Agra first. Drinks with lunch are not included in any option.

Can I visit both Agra Fort and the Tomb of I'timad-ud-Daulah?

The itinerary includes one or the other, not both. You choose which one at checkout: Agra Fort is the larger monument with a one-hour guided tour, while the Tomb of I'timad-ud-Daulah is smaller and also comes with a guided tour.

What if my hotel isn't listed in the pickup options?

During checkout, click "My Hotel Is Not Listed" and type your hotel name manually. Pickup is available anywhere in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad or Faridabad, and you can also arrange pickup from the airport if you provide your flight details at booking.

Is the Taj Mahal open every day?
