This smartly designed day trip combines the speed and efficiency of India’s fastest trains with the luxury of guided sightseeing, allowing you to soak in Agra’s majestic beauty without the hassle of traffic or long drives.

The adventure begins early in the morning as you're picked up from your hotel in Delhi and driven to the railway station. You'll board the Gatimaan Express, India’s first semi-high-speed train, which covers the distance between Delhi and Agra in just 90 minutes. With onboard meals, comfortable seats, and air-conditioning, your journey begins with ease and comfort.

Upon arrival in Agra, a professional tour guide from Welcome India Journey greets you at the station, and your exploration begins right away. The first stop? The Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World and the crown jewel of India’s rich history.

As you walk through the grand gateway and lay your eyes on the gleaming white marble monument, it’s hard not to be awestruck. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal is more than just a building—it's a love letter carved in stone. Your guide will share fascinating stories, architectural details, and historical facts that bring this masterpiece to life.

After spending ample time at the Taj Mahal, the next destination is the Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and another example of the grandeur of the Mughal Empire. Walk through royal courtyards, palaces, and audience halls that once echoed with the voices of kings and ministers.

Feeling hungry? Lunch is arranged at a well-rated local restaurant where you can enjoy traditional Mughlai cuisine—rich curries, flavorful rice, and freshly baked naan. It’s a delightful pause to refuel and savor the taste of Agra.

Post-lunch, if time allows, you’ll also visit the Itmad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb—often referred to as the “Baby Taj.” This hidden gem is known for its delicate marble work and beautiful setting along the Yamuna River. Some tours may also include a stop at Mehtab Bagh, offering a stunning riverside view of the Taj Mahal, perfect for photos away from the crowds.

The tour also includes a short visit to local handicraft markets where you can see traditional marble inlay art and pick up some unique souvenirs if you wish.

In the late afternoon, you’re escorted back to the train station to catch your return Gatimaan Express to Delhi. By the time you arrive in the capital, the city is winding down, and you’re driven back to your hotel with a heart full of memories and a camera full of stunning pictures.

The Taj Mahal Tour by Train is ideal for those who want a quick yet fulfilling Agra experience with all the comfort and planning handled by professionals.
