Hassle-Free Pickup and Transfers

Your day begins early with a hotel pickup in Delhi by a private, air-conditioned car, driven by a professional chauffeur. You'll be dropped at Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station, where a representative from Discover The Taj Company will assist you in boarding the Gatimaan Express. You’ll travel in a comfortable Executive or AC Chair Car coach—depending on your package—with breakfast served onboard.

Arrival in Agra and Guided Taj Mahal Tour

Once you arrive in Agra, another local team member from Discover The Taj Company will be waiting for you at the platform. You’ll be greeted warmly and introduced to your professional, government-approved tour guide who will be with you throughout the day.

Your first stop: the majestic Taj Mahal.

This white-marble masterpiece, built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, is one of the most photographed buildings in the world—and for good reason. Your guide will share fascinating facts, myths, and the emotional love story that inspired this world wonder.

Explore Agra Fort and More

After the Taj Mahal, you’ll visit the imposing Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and another gem of Mughal architecture. With its red sandstone walls, marble palaces, and intricate carvings, it’s easy to imagine the grandeur of the Mughal Empire here.

Depending on your schedule and interests, you may also stop by:

• Mehtab Bagh – A riverside garden that offers a stunning rear view of the Taj Mahal.

• Itmad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb – Often called the “Baby Taj,” this beautiful tomb is a precursor to the grand design of the Taj Mahal.

• Local handicraft markets – Agra is known for its marble inlay work, leather goods, and traditional souvenirs.

Delicious Lunch at a Local Restaurant

Around midday, enjoy a mouthwatering lunch at a well-rated restaurant offering both Indian and international cuisine. All meals are served in hygienic conditions, with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options available.

Evening Train Back to Delhi

After a full day of sightseeing, your guide will drop you back at the railway station to board your return Gatimaan Express to Delhi, where dinner is served onboard. Once you reach Delhi, your driver will be waiting at the station to take you back to your hotel safely and comfortably.
