Travel from Delhi to Agra by the Gatimaan Express and spend the day exploring the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort with a local guide. This Taj Mahal Tour by Superfast Train from Delhi is designed for travellers who want to see Agra’s main Mughal monuments in one day without making the full journey by road.
Your day starts with an early pickup from your hotel, airport or another agreed location. Your driver takes you to Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station and helps you find your train and coach. After arriving at Agra Cantt, meet your local guide and transfer to the Taj Mahal in a private, air-conditioned car.
Spend time exploring the Taj Mahal before taking a lunch break if your selected package includes it. Continue to Agra Fort to see its historic courtyards and palace buildings. If time allows, you can add the Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah, commonly called the Baby Taj, before returning to Agra Cantt for your train back to Delhi.
The train journey takes approximately 1 hour 40 minutes each way on the published Gatimaan Express schedule, although actual timings can change. Your sightseeing in Agra is arranged around your confirmed train tickets, so there is no need to book a hotel in Agra for this day trip.
