Detailed same day Agra Tour from Delhi Itinerary
Our same day Agra tour from Delhi follows a carefully timed itinerary to ensure you experience every major attraction without feeling rushed.
Your day begins between 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM with a pickup from your hotel in New Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, or directly from Indira Gandhi International Airport. Our driver arrives 10 minutes early with a clean, fully fueled vehicle.
The drive to Agra covers approximately 230 kilometers on the smooth, six-lane Yamuna Expressway. Expect to reach Agra by 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM, depending on your departure time. A short breakfast stop can be arranged along the way at a hygienic roadside restaurant.
The first stop is the one that brought you here — the Taj Mahal. Arriving early means fewer crowds and softer light, which is ideal for photographs and peaceful exploration.
You will have approximately 1.5 to 2 hours inside the complex to walk through the main gate, admire the reflecting pools, explore the mosque and guest house, and stand on the main platform inches away from the iconic marble mausoleum built by Emperor Shah Jahan.
Your driver can arrange a licensed local guide at this point if you wish to learn the history and hidden details of the monument.
After the Taj Mahal, the next stop is Agra Fort, located just 2.5 kilometers away. This massive red sandstone fortress is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and served as the seat of Mughal power for generations.
Inside, you will explore the Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience), Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace), and the haunting Musamman Burj — the octagonal tower where Shah Jahan spent his final years gazing at the Taj Mahal.
Allow 1 to 1.5 hours for the fort. Afterward, if time allows, your driver can take you through the local marble inlay workshops where artisans continue the centuries-old craft of Pietra Dura — the same technique used to decorate the Taj Mahal.
Depending on your energy and interest, you can add one of two exceptional stops to your Agra day trip itinerary:
Fatehpur Sikri — Located 37 kilometers from Agra, this abandoned Mughal city built by Emperor Akbar is an architectural marvel. The Buland Darwaza (Gate of Magnificence) stands 54 meters high and is the tallest gateway in the world. Allow 1–1.5 hours.
Mehtab Bagh — If you prefer a relaxed evening, this garden across the Yamuna River offers the most spectacular sunset view of the Taj Mahal. It is the perfect place to end your Agra sightseeing before heading back.
By 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM, you will be back in your cab heading toward Delhi via the Yamuna Expressway. Expect to arrive at your Delhi hotel or the airport by 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM, depending on traffic.
Your driver will ensure a comfortable return journey. Sit back, look through your photos, and reflect on a day spent inside one of the greatest love stories ever built in stone.

The symmetry of the gardens, the translucence of the marble inlay, and the sheer scale of devotion it represents make it unlike anything else on earth.
Agra Fort A UNESCO World Heritage Site
This colossal fortress of red sandstone served as the imperial residence of the Mughal dynasty for generations. Within its 2.5-kilometer-long walls lie palaces, audience halls, mosques, and private chambers that reveal the grandeur and complexity of Mughal rule.
