Same Day Agra Tour by Train from Delhi
Overview
Travel to Agra the fast, comfortable way — aboard the Gatimaan Express, India’s fastest train, which reaches Agra in around 100 minutes. This private day tour pairs relaxed rail travel with a guided visit to the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and the Baby Taj, so you spend more of your day sightseeing and less on the road.

Agra Fort

What Travellers Say
“Excellent tour with Ashish who is supremely knowledgeable and passionate about the Taj Mahal. He had the whole day planned — pre-booked tickets, fast-track queues — and all the insights on where to get the best photos. Cannot recommend enough.”
