The best Agra tour from Delhi for most travellers is our Delhi and Agra in three days, from $225 per person for two travellers sharing. It gives you your own car and driver, a licensed guide in each city, and time for Delhi as well as Agra. For a shorter break, take the Taj Mahal overnight from Delhi.
This page is for travellers who want Agra, not only the Taj Mahal: the fort, the old city and an easy rhythm between them. Agra is roughly three to four hours from Delhi by road, so how you use the days around the drive matters.
We weighed private car and driver, a licensed guide, how much time Agra gets, and whether the days feel rushed. Five of our journeys come out on top, from a single night to a longer Mughal trail.
Delhi and Agra in three days
- 3 days / 2 nights
- Delhi · Agra
- Own car and driver, licensed guide
This is the most complete Agra tour from Delhi in our catalogue that stays short. You begin in Delhi with a guide, drive to Agra in your own car, and give the Taj Mahal and the fort a full day instead of a morning.
Our journeys include your own air-conditioned car and driver and a licensed guide in each city. Hotels are arranged by category, three, four or five star. From $225 per person, two travellers sharing.
Best for: First-time visitors who want Delhi and Agra without a rush.
Worth knowing: If you are also tempted by Jaipur, the 3-day Golden Triangle covers it.
Taj Mahal overnight from Delhi
- 2 days / 1 nights
- Delhi · Agra
- Own car and driver, licensed guide
The Taj Mahal overnight from Delhi is two days: drive to Agra, sleep there, and see the Taj Mahal early the next morning. It is the right size for a weekend or a tight schedule, and it avoids the long same-day round trip.
A licensed guide takes you through the Taj Mahal and the city, and your driver stays with you throughout. From $150 per person, two sharing.
Best for: Travellers who want Agra done well in two days.
Worth knowing: There is little time for Delhi, and Fridays do not work for the Taj Mahal.
Taj Mahal day trip from Delhi
- 1 day
- Delhi · Agra
- Own car and driver, licensed guide
For one day, the Taj Mahal day trip from Delhi gives you Agra in your own car, with a guide, and returns you to Delhi in the evening. We plan an early start so the Taj Mahal comes first.
It is long but well organised. From $75 per person, two sharing.
Best for: Travellers with exactly one free day.
Worth knowing: Around seven to eight hours of the day can be spent on the road.
Vrindavan and the Taj
- 3 days / 2 nights
- Delhi · Vrindavan · Agra
- Own car and driver, licensed guide
Vrindavan and the Taj adds Vrindavan on the way, so the road to Agra becomes part of the journey. It suits travellers interested in temples and the living side of North India, with the Taj Mahal at the end.
Three days, your own car and driver, a licensed guide. From $225 per person, two sharing.
Best for: Travellers who want culture on the road as well as the Taj Mahal.
Worth knowing: Temple towns can be busy, so we plan the day around crowds.
The Mughal trail
- 6 days / 5 nights
- Delhi · Agra
- Own car and driver, licensed guide
The Mughal trail runs six days from Delhi to Agra and is built around the Mughal story: tombs, forts, gardens and the Taj Mahal. It gives Agra and the surrounding Mughal sites real depth.
Your guide goes beyond the main sights. From $365 per person, two sharing.
Best for: History-minded travellers who want to go slowly.
Worth knowing: It is a lot of days for a traveller who only want the Taj Mahal.
How to choose between these
- Pick Delhi and Agra in three days if you want both cities and a relaxed pace.
- Pick the overnight if you only have two days.
- Pick the day trip only if you cannot spend a night.
- Pick Vrindavan and the Taj or the Mughal trail if you want more culture or history around Agra.
- Avoid Fridays for the Taj Mahal.
