Your day

Your full-day itinerary

Depart Delhi well before dawn for a private sunrise encounter with the Taj Mahal. From there, settle into breakfast at Courtyard by Marriott Agra, then move on to Agra Fort and the Tomb of Itmad-ud-Daulah, fondly known as the Baby Taj. This tour bundles a private air-conditioned car, a professional local guide, monument tickets and breakfast into one seamless day. Pickup and drop-off can be arranged from hotels, airports and railway stations across Delhi, Noida and Gurugram.

Tour Highlights
  • Catch the Taj Mahal bathed in early morning light alongside a private local guide.
  • Tour the UNESCO-listed Agra Fort.
  • Admire the delicate marble inlay and riverside charm of the Baby Taj.
  • Refuel with breakfast at Courtyard by Marriott Agra, a five-star hotel.
  • Make the round trip from Delhi in a private air-conditioned vehicle.
  • Count on included monument tickets, bottled water and hassle-free pickup and drop-off.

Pickup from Delhi

Meet your private driver at 2:30 AM sharp, at your hotel, the airport, a railway station or another requested location in Delhi, Noida or Gurugram, and set off toward Agra in your private air-conditioned car for the early-morning Taj Mahal visit.

  1. Drive to Agra

    Cover the distance to Agra in your private air-conditioned vehicle, generally via the Yamuna Expressway. The drive typically takes around three hours, depending on traffic, weather, road conditions and your pickup location, with a short comfort stop available if needed.

  2. Taj Mahal at Sunrise

    Connect with your private local guide in Agra for an early-morning visit to the Taj Mahal, where you'll learn about its history, architecture, marble inlay and the timeless story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal. Set aside time for photographs and independent exploration too — sunrise visibility depends on weather, fog and local conditions.

    Duration: Approximately 3 hours Entrance: Not Included

  3. Breakfast at Courtyard by Marriott Agra

    Following the Taj Mahal visit, tuck into a buffet breakfast at Courtyard by Marriott Agra, a five-star property. Vegetarian options are generally on offer, so let us know about any special dietary needs ahead of time.

    Duration: Approximately 60 minutes Entrance: Not Included

  4. Agra Fort

    Discover Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and former imperial stronghold, wandering through its courtyards, audience halls and palaces as you learn about the Mughal emperors behind the complex.

    Duration: Approximately 60 minutes Entrance: Not Included

  5. Tomb of Itmad-ud-Daulah

    Explore the riverside Tomb of Itmad-ud-Daulah, affectionately nicknamed the Baby Taj — a smaller Mughal mausoleum admired for its delicate white-marble latticework, vibrant inlay and garden setting.

    Duration: Approximately 30 minutes Entrance: Not Included

  6. Return to Delhi

    Once Agra sightseeing wraps up, head back to Delhi in your private air-conditioned vehicle — the return drive typically takes around three hours, depending on traffic and road conditions.

  7. Drop-Off in Delhi

    On arrival, enjoy drop-off at your hotel, the airport, a railway station or another requested location in Delhi, Noida or Gurugram. If you're connecting to a flight or train, share your departure details before booking so we can plan an appropriate pickup time and travel buffer.

🍽️ Meals

⏱️ Duration

Required documents
  1. Carry a Valid Passport – Make sure your passport holds at least 6 months of validity beyond your application or arrival date.
  2. Apply for an India Visa / e-Visa – Secure a tourist e-Visa (30-day, 1-year or 5-year option) through India's official e-Visa portal, open to citizens of 160+ countries, with Nepal and Bhutan nationals exempt. Print your approved ETA and present it at immigration on arrival, at one of 33 designated airports or 9 seaports.
  3. Keep a Return or Onward Journey Ticket Handy – Immigration officers may ask to see proof of this.
  4. Have Proof of Accommodation Ready – Show a hotel reservation, host address or flexible booking confirmation; a confirmed paid booking isn't mandatory, but immigration officers may still request proof on arrival.
  5. Arrange Travel Insurance – It's not mandatory, but strongly recommended before you set off.
  6. Keep Digital and Printed Copies of All Documents – Hold onto your e-Visa approval, passport copy, hotel confirmation and itinerary in both digital and printed form as a smart travel practice.
Good to know
  • The Taj Mahal stays closed to general visitors every Friday, so we'll need to reschedule your tour or adapt it without the Taj Mahal if your preferred date falls on one.
  • We may adjust the order and duration of visits based on traffic, weather, security checks, monument opening hours or other local conditions.
  • Carry a valid passport or government-issued photo ID, as ticket categories and security checks may call for it.
  • The Taj Mahal enforces strict security restrictions, so review the complete restricted-items FAQ before you set off and carry only essential belongings in a small bag.
  • We recommend comfortable walking shoes and seasonally appropriate clothing; shoe covers may be provided or required in certain designated areas.
  • Agra is celebrated for its marble inlay handicrafts, and any shopping stop stays entirely optional — just let us know in advance whether you'd like to add or skip it.
  • This makes for a long day out, though the private format allows reasonable comfort breaks along the way; your final return time still depends on traffic and your sightseeing pace.

Cancel at least 1 hour before the tour's start time to receive a full refund. Refunds and changes aren't available within 1 hour of the start time, and all times follow local time.
