★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,166 reviews · from $100Our pick

Leave Delhi by train around 7 AM and reach Agra for a guided visit to the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Baby Taj and Mehtab Bagh. A private, air-conditioned car handles local transport, and guides such as Nabeel, Faizan and Mohsin have earned strong praise. Check your chosen package for lunch, entrance fees and train class.

“I didn’t know it was going to be possible for us to see the Taj Mahal on a day trip so I’m really grateful to PIONEER HOLIDAYS for suggesting it. All the arrangements worked very smoothly. Unfortunately, the train out was delayed due fog which meant it was three hours rather than an hour and a half which is something to be aware of. The Taj was breathtakingly beautiful and the crowds and the traffic were completely mental. Nice lunch at the Hilton. Recommended if you’ve got the stamina, are based in Delhi and don’t have time to stay in Agra.”
