Full description
Your tour will begin with as your guide picks you up from your accommodation in Delhi. From there you will be transferred to the Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway station to board the Gatimaan Express to Agra. A hot breakfast will be served on the train followed by tea or coffee, before you arrive to the Agra Cantt Railway Station. There you will be received from the platform upon arrival, before your guided city tour starts. From the Agra railway station, you will be taken to the majestic Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal is one of the seven wonders of the world, and is known for its breathtaking beauty. It stands as a perfect white mausoleum with intricate carvings all over it, and your guide will explain the history of the Taj Mahal whilst giving you an insight into its main attraction spots. Just overlooking the Taj Mahal beyond the River Yamuna is the Agra Fort. This red sandstone structure is a marvel of architecture and art and represents the royal life during the Mughal Empire in Agra. The premise of the Red Fort consists of various historical places, which are able to be explored during your visit. Following the Agra Fort lunch will be served at one of the famous air-conditioned restaurants in Agra. Following lunch, you will explore Itmad-Ud-Daulah. Also going by the name "Baby Taj", this monument is built out of white marble with intricate carvings and works. Once you have had your share of the local feel of Agra, you can head back to the Agra Railway Station to board your train back to New Delhi. After reaching New Delhi you will be picked up by a representative, before being transferred to the airport/your hotel.

We've booked a tour to Agra (Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Baby Taj) and it was perfect! We were picked from our hotel early in the morning, delivered to the train station. Then there was an amazing train trip. In Agra we were warmly welcomed by our guide Harish.The tour itself was well organized. Although it was hot outside, we felt comfortable as the driver was ready to pick us up as soon as we got outside the site. Harish is really professional guide and nice person. He answered all of our questions concerning the sites and India in general. Strongly advise this tour to all the travelers! :)

Well organised tour from hotel in Delhi Aerocity to Agra and back. We wouldn't have been able to do all of this on our own, so it was excellent to have this tour. Pickup was on time, and he stayed with us until we got on the train. Warm welcome off the train in Agra and taken to the next driver. Very nice and informative gentleman who explained a bit about Agra until we picked up our guide. Our guide was excellent, explained everything we needed to know about the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. We didn't need to wait anywhere, and this was another great advantage as the crowds were huge. Lunch at Marriot Hotel was very nice and a good break from sightseeing. We didn't need the 2 stops to the marble and carpet shops, but hey, they're always in such tours for tourists and we weren't forced to purchase. All in all an excellent tour which saved us a lot of hassle and stress and waiting! Thank you guys!

Very well organised. Tour guides/drivers stayed with us and ensured we got on right train carriage for our pre booked seats. Buffet lunch in air conditioning broke up the day and heat nicely. Guide knowledge was second to none. Guide who arranged tickets managed to get us to skip the large queues to get into Taj and the Fort. Highly recommend
