Delhi to Taj Mahal Day Tour by Private Car
Overview: Your Private Trip to the Taj Mahal
It’s the number one question we hear: “We only have one free day in Delhi. Is it crazy to try and see the Taj Mahal?”
Our honest answer? No, it’s not crazy at all. In fact, we’ve created this exact trip to make it not only possible but also surprisingly relaxing.
This isn’t a bus tour with 50 other people or a complicated train journey. This is your own private car, your own driver, for a simple and comfortable day trip. We built this so you can have that “wow” moment at one of the world’s most incredible places, without any of the travel stress that can ruin a day.

Your Delhi to Taj Mahal Trip Itinerary
We’ve fine-tuned this schedule over many years to make it as smooth as possible.
Your driver will be at your hotel around 6:00 AM. We know it’s early, but it’s the secret to beating the worst of the Delhi traffic. You can just settle in, relax, or even catch up on sleep during the 3-4 hour drive on the expressway. (If you’re also looking to explore the capital itself, we offer a comprehensive Delhi tour package that covers all the city’s highlights.)
When we get to Agra, you’ll meet your guide. We work with a small group of local guides who are just wonderful people—warm, friendly, and full of stories you won’t find in a guidebook. They’ll handle the tickets and get you inside to that unforgettable first view of the Taj.
You’ll have plenty of time to explore, take photos, and just soak it all in. When you get hungry, your guide can suggest some good, clean places for lunch depending on what you feel like. After eating, we’ll visit the impressive Agra Fort, which is a destination in itself.
We’ll start heading back to Delhi in the afternoon. By now, most of our guests are tired but incredibly happy. You’ll have a smooth, private ride all the way back to your hotel, arriving in the evening.
