- Taj Mahal - At approximately 9:50 AM, upon arrival at Agra Railway Station, a guide will greet you outside your train coach, holding a sign with your name. The train will stop for only 5 minutes, so please disembark promptly. You will then proceed to visit the Taj Mahal, a monument of love built by Shah Jahan for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. Your tour guide will provide further historical insights. Spend about 3 hours exploring this monument.
- Agra Fort - Following your visit to the Taj Mahal, you will head to Agra Fort, a massive red stone structure constructed by the great Mughal Emperor Akbar. This UNESCO World Heritage site, built in the 16th century, houses many palaces such as Jahangiri Mahal, Diwan-e-Aam, and the Pearl Mosque, with views of the Taj Mahal. Spend approximately 1 hour here. After visiting Agra Fort, you will enjoy a lunch break at a 5-star hotel in Agra.
- Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah - After lunch, continue your Agra sightseeing with a visit to Itimad-Ud-Daulah. Often referred to as a “jewel box” and sometimes called the “Baby Taj,” this tomb is considered a precursor to the Taj Mahal. Please note: visiting this site is optional, depending on time.

Excellent day out in Agra - my tour guide Imran is very knowledgeable and he told me a lot about the sites we visited (Taj Mahal and Agra fort). And he is super professional in photo-taking and he takes awesome pictures and videos for his guests. Thank you so much Imran.

Unique experience - I had an amazing tour with Rafeeq from delight tour. From the pick up in Delhi to the tour at the Taj Mahal it was all very well organized. Our guide had a lot of knowledge about the local history and his English was perfect.
All in all I can highly recommend this tour.

I was contacted by the tour operator... - <p>I was contacted by the tour operator by email a day before the tour with<br/>
Pick up time<br/>
Driver name and number for Delhi<br/>
Vehicle tag number<br/>
Name and number of the guide and driver in Agra<br/>
Very thorough<br/>
Pick up was prompt and we got a call at our room 10 min before pick up that the driver was waiting <br/>
Driven to Nizamuddin station in 30 minutes<br/>
He parked and lead us to the exact spot the bogey would stop<br/>
Train arrived 45 min before departure<br/>
He seated us in our seats and left<br/>
We forgot our passports and the conductor confirmed our names and Our US drivers license worked<br/>
PLEASE GET PNR NUMBER FOR TICKETS FROM TOUR OPERATOR AND CARRY PASSPORTS FOR THE TRAIN<br/>
Train was a little dated Circa 1990s Eastern European train<br/>
Western bathroom not clean we were in first class<br/>
Bfast was excellent along with a free water bottle <br/>
It is like flying and food with drinks are included for all passengers <br/>
Seats were comfortable and we arrived at Agra in 2 hrs<br/>
Our guide Mr Islaam was waiting outside the bogey and took us to the very comfortable Innova minivan/ crossover <br/>
We were taken to a nice hotel lobby to use restrooms and freshen up<br/>
The driver was excellent and negotiated Agra roads really skillfully <br/>
We started at Taj Mahal and all I can say is wow<br/>
Mr Islaam was very knowledgeable and had 20 yr experience, spoke perfect English and we had ample time<br/>
He is also an expert photographer and took some amazing pics<br/>
We stopped for lunch at a fabulous place The silk route great food and service and more importantly clean modern restrooms<br/>
Mr Ashraf from Delight tours the tour operator met us before lunch to inquire about our experience and get feedback infact he asked us about areas he could improve-very impressive!<br/>
He asked to eat to our hearts desire and it was a part of the tour all a la carte<br/>
Next stop baby Taj also fabulous <br/>
Last stop Red fort<br/>
We were taken to a handicrafts store and given a tour of the workshop and a primer on handmade handicrafts <br/>
We did not buy and they ware polite and not pushy<br/>
We were then dropped off to the train and seated in our seats by Mr Islaam <br/>
We were served a tasty but LIGHT meal similar to a typical Indian late evening snack and back in Delhi in 2 hrs<br/>
Driver met us on Platform and escorted us to the car and in Delhi traffic it took an hour to get back to the hotel<br/>
An excellent well organized tour<br/>
A very thorough and professional Delight tours<br/>
Good job and kudos to Mr Ashraf<br/>
Mr Islaam was really awesome<br/>
Mr Islaam and both drivers deserve a good tip<br/>
I really appreciate the hard work from Mr Ashrafs team<br/>
This is a product well vetted and deserving of the Viator label<br/>
Take this trip and it will be shorter,safer and fun<br/>
The Yamuna expressway is also fast BUT getting in and out of Delhi can mean 7-8 hrs on Indian roads and a long day<br/>
We did not want to risk being driven long distance</p>
