Additional Information

Delhi to Taj Mahal in Agra private day trip by vehicle

Taking a day trip from Delhi to visit the Taj Mahal in Agra is an ideal excursion. Located 200 Km from Delhi, Agra has made itself a top tourist destination in India hosting the Taj Mahal. Originating from an era of Mughal riches and fame with bewitching courts well-known worldwide, Agra has significantly evolved. Today, it blends in with other North Indian urban cities but keeps its archaic charm intact. Its narrow twisting lanes, old residences, bustling markets filled with people and commodities, transpose you to an earlier time. As you wander around Agra’s streets, you may encounter dimly-lit workshops where craftsmen assert themselves to be the offspring of those who served in the Mughal courts. Daily, visitors from all over the globe arrive here to witness the Mughal-era wonders and, specifically, the untouched beauty of the Taj Mahal.

A wonderful day - Birj Kishor and Mohsin Khan were both amazing! They both grew up in Agra and knew everything about the area. We had a wonderful time. Birj was a great driver. They let us move our start time an hour earlier and were responsive via whatsapp. We had a very comfortable ride from Delhi and Birj even stopped to get us tea. Mohsin guided us around the Taj Mahal and the Agra Fort. He bought our tickets and we did in fact get to skip the entry lines! He told us the history, knew all the best photo locations, and let us take our time. We got to spend over 2.5 hours walking around the Taj which was a dream. As a bonus Mohsin was an excellent photographer! I always appreciate an eye for detail. I'm a photographer so I'm picky with photos, and now we have some fantastic shots of one of the highlights of our India trip. We stopped at two local businesses (marble inlay and jeweler) where they tell you a little about their craft, serve you tea, and you can buy souvenirs. We did buy something small at each. We ended the afternoon at a lovely buffet for lunch. The staff were knowledgeable about all of the ingredients and helped us avoid nut allergens. Thanks again for a great visit to Agra!

Taj Mahal Gorgeous Life-Time Experience - Excellent tour guide, spoke clear, presented me with amazing historical facts and great energy. Overall, the Taj Mahal was absolutely beautiful. It doesn’t look anything like what google presents, you have to see it to believe it. The way the Taj Mahal was made was gorgeous and overall if your into architecture this is the place, more of all of you like meaningful memories then this is the place to add another one to your collection. Mohsin Khan was my tour guide, make sure to request him specifically. The mosques looked beautiful from the outside but the Taj Mahal from the inside was spectacular. It wasn’t too overpriced for the actual ticket, I believe spending 1-2.5 hours is enough. I personally wouldn’t spend more than 1.5 hours as that’s approximately how long the tour lasted but also because it’s meaningful to understand everything in such a short amount of time. This also is the perfect month to go in my opinion, weather was great and it overall felt like a movie experience. Free feel to ask Mohsin any questions, he answered everything I had in mind. To listen to the guide is one thing but to understand why there’s specific gems in the architecture is another thing. The actual trip isn’t bad as it lasts more than a full 10+ hours. The train ride was cool ( if you haven’t been on one ). For 2000 rupees, you get dropped off in a car with a professional driver, get in the train and dropped off, Taj Mahal full tour, more sight-seeing, a amazing lunch at a 5 star hotel and much more. The morning driver Deepak Kumar was a amazing driver, professional respectful and due to the freezing weather, he lended me his jacket. Very kind team, I genuinely enjoyed this trip. 10 stars on the entire trip, shout-out to Sumit for organizing it and for Mohsin and Deepak playing a huge part in the role!

Excellent service and planning - Sumit got in touch with me immediately after I filled out a query form on the website. The itenary was well defined and clearly explained what was included in the quote. The car arrived ahead of time and the driver waited patiently for us. It was a comfortable ride to Agra where we met our tour guide. The tour guide was amazing and provided current and historical information about the Taj Mahal. He accompanied us to a buffet lunch (pre arranged) and also to the Agra Emporium (Marble). Overall it was a short but sweet trip and my daughter loved it as it was her first trip to Agra.
