We have had a very good enjoyable day. From start to finish the tour has been well organised and our tour guide Ankur Sharma was very knowledgeable. It was an enjoyable experience. The air conditioned train/car journey make a huge difference. We have enjoyed our very first trip in Agra! Highly recommend.

It was very interesting! Zuber , the guide, was very competent and sympathetic and we learned a lot about the history of the Taj Mahal! A perfect trip, also the drivers, who picked us up and drove us through Agra.

Full description

Start your tour from your hotel where your driver will pick you up to transfer you to Nizamuddin Railway Station. Find your train coach and seats with your driver's assistance and depart from the train station at 8:10 AM. Eat breakfast on the train to begin your day.

Arrive in Agra at 9:50 AM and meet your guide in front of the train coach. Get seated in the car and proceed to visit the famous and most iconic monument in India, the Taj Mahal. Spend up to 3 hours exploring this monument.

Next, move on to the Agra Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. This imposing fortress, crafted from red sandstone, was constructed by Emperor Akbar in 1565 AD. It harmoniously blends architectural elements from both Hindu and Central Asian styles.

Pause for a delectable lunch at a 5-star hotel, savoring a feast that encompasses flavors from both the local cuisine and international fare.

Following lunch, make your way to the exquisite Tomb of Itmad-Ud-Daulah, often referred to as the Baby Taj. This marvel of pure marble was erected by Noor Jahan in honor of her father.

Return to Agra Railway Station and board your train for Delhi. The train will leave at 5:50 PM and arrive in Delhi at 7:30 PM. Have supper onboard the train to finish off your memorable day. Upon arrival in Delhi, meet your driver in front of the coach and get dropped to your hotel.

This tour was great, the pick up and transportation was flawless. I was happy with the train car, and the professionalism of the drivers who helped us onto the train and we're there at pick up. Amaan was our guide and he was wonderful: he is very interesting, knowledgeable of the sights and history of Agra, and extremely personable. My husband and I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend.
