The best Agra tour for first-time visitors is our Delhi and Agra in three days: a private car and driver, licensed guides, a night in Agra for the Taj Mahal, from $225 per person, two travellers sharing. With two days, Taj Mahal overnight from Delhi is the shorter alternative.
This page is for first-time visitors who want Agra to feel manageable: someone meeting them, a driver who knows the road, and a guide who explains what they see.
We weighed pace, jet lag, how much choice you must make on the ground and how the Taj is timed. All journeys are private.
Delhi and Agra in three days
- 3 days / 2 nights
