Witness the Taj Mahal on this Agra tour package!
The Taj Mahal is one of those rare world famous sights that exceeds expectations. Any trip to Delhi is not complete without a visit to Agra, taking in this jaw-dropping architectural marvel.
After catching the train from Delhi, you will arrive mid morning to Agra, where your local certified guide will meet you and take you directly to the Taj Mahal.
For lunch, we normally go to a local restaurant to eat a lovely vegetarian thali, where you eat a number of different dishes on one big plate.
After lunch, we get a tuk-tuk to Agra Fort, which is also spectacular and would be the crowning jewel of almost any other city. We then go to Mehtab Bagh, a small 22 acre Persian-style garden located next to the Yamuna river, offering a very unique view of the Taj Mahal, particularly at sunset. There is also the option to visit the tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah (“Baby Taj Mahal”).
We then catch an evening train back to Delhi.
Gape in awe at the Taj Mahal. Spend some time wandering around the courtyard, taking in the architecture, history, and refined beauty of this world-famous mausoleum.
Agra is also home to the impressive, 94-acre Agra Fort that, although often overshadowed by the Taj, is spectacular in its own right.

Your train for Agra leaves from Nizamuddin Railway Station in Delhi. We recommend that you aim to get there about 30 minutes before departure. The train is normally at the station well before departure.
Your local tour guide will meet you on the platform at Agra Cantt Railway Station when you arrive at around 9.50am. He will have your seat and carriage numbers so will know where on the platform you will be getting off the train.
Your train back to Delhi leaves Agra Cantt Railway Station at 5.45pm and arrives back to Delhi (Nizamuddin Railway Station) at 7.30pm.
