Questions people ask
Which same-day tours do you run from Delhi?
The Taj Mahal day tour, the Taj Mahal sunrise tour, the Gatimaan Express train tour and the Jaipur day tour.
Can I see the Taj Mahal and be back in Delhi the same day?
Yes. The day tour covers the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and the other highlights, and returns to Delhi the same evening.
Are same-day tours private?
Yes — a private AC car, a professional driver and a local guide. You are never added to a group.
Is a luxury car available?
Yes. The Taj Mahal luxury car tour runs the same route with a premium vehicle and a 5-star lunch.
How long does a same-day tour take?
Usually the full day, 12 to 14 hours door to door depending on the destination and traffic.
Is the car or the train better for a Taj Mahal day trip?
The Gatimaan Express is quicker, leaving Hazrat Nizamuddin at 8:10 am and reaching Agra in about 100 minutes. The private car is more flexible, with door-to-door pickup and the Yamuna Expressway drive taking about three to three and a half hours.
Can I do a Taj Mahal day trip from Delhi on a Friday?
Not to the Taj itself, because it is closed every Friday and the Gatimaan Express does not run that day. On a Friday we suggest the Delhi city tour or the Jaipur day tour instead.
What time does the Taj Mahal sunrise tour leave Delhi?
It leaves in the very early hours, usually around 3 am, so you reach the gate before it opens at sunrise. You get the softest light and the thinnest crowds of the day in return.
Can you pick me up from Gurgaon, Noida or the airport?
Yes. Pickup and drop can be from any hotel or address in Delhi, Gurgaon or Noida, or from the airport, and we confirm the timing with you before the day.
