Description
Why spend 4 hours in traffic? Gatimaan Express cuts travel to 1h 40m. Enjoy an all-inclusive, quick, comfy, hassle-free Delhi-to-Agra tour. More Taj time, less travel time!
Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Delhi and head to the railway station. Board the Gatimaan Express for a comfortable and fast journey to Agra, accompanied by your guide who will travel with you on the train both ways to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience.
Your first stop is the majestic Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Learn about the timeless love story behind this marble masterpiece, built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Admire its breathtaking symmetry and intricate craftsmanship.
Continue to the Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and once the main residence of the Mughal emperors. Walk through its palaces, courtyards, and mosques while enjoying panoramic views of the Taj Mahal from its ramparts.
After your visit, enjoy a lavish buffet lunch at Courtyard by Marriott, a 5-star hotel, where you can relax and savor a variety of cuisines in a refined setting.
Next, explore the Baby Taj (Itmad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb), often referred to as the “jewel box” of Agra. Built by Nur Jahan for her father, this elegant mausoleum is considered a draft of the Taj Mahal. Its delicate marble lattice screens, intricate inlay work, and charming gardens highlight the transition to the grand Mughal style perfected later in the Taj Mahal.
Finally, head to Mehtab Bagh, a beautifully landscaped Mughal garden across the Yamuna River. Perfectly aligned with the Taj Mahal, it offers one of the best panoramic views of the monument. At sunset, the Taj glows in golden hues, providing a serene and picturesque end to your day in Agra.
In the evening, board your train back to Delhi with your guide by your side. On arrival, your driver will be waiting at the railway station to transfer you comfortably back to your hotel.
