What to Expect: A Seamless Day Trip from Delhi

When you book the Sunrise Taj Mahal Tour from Delhi with Private Tour Guide India Company, you’re signing up for a perfectly organized journey from start to finish.

???? 2:30 – 3:00 AM: Hotel Pick-Up in Delhi

Your driver will arrive early in a comfortable, air-conditioned private car to pick you up from your Delhi hotel. Don’t worry—he’ll be on time, and you’ll be greeted with a smile.

The drive to Agra takes approximately 3.5 hours via the Yamuna Expressway, one of the best highways in India.

???? 6:00 AM: Taj Mahal at Sunrise

You’ll arrive just in time for the gates to open. Enter the monument with your professional private guide, who’ll help you skip the line and take you straight to the magic.

As the first rays of sun hit the white marble, the Taj changes colors—from pinkish to golden. It’s a view that words simply can’t do justice to.

Your guide will share the story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz, along with fun facts, architectural details, and hidden viewpoints most tourists miss.

???? 8:00 AM: Visit Agra Fort

After the Taj, you’ll head to the Agra Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. This grand red sandstone fortress was the main residence of the Mughal emperors. It's filled with palaces, courtyards, and mosques.

From here, you can even see a distant view of the Taj Mahal through the window where Shah Jahan was once imprisoned. Poetic, right?

????️ 9:30 AM: Breakfast at a 5-Star Hotel

Time to refuel! Enjoy a delicious buffet breakfast or à la carte menu at a luxury hotel in Agra. Whether you're craving Indian, Continental, or something light and healthy, there are plenty of options.

The restaurant staff are ready for early risers like you, and your guide will ensure you're well taken care of.

???? 10:30 AM: Visit Baby Taj (Itimad-ud-Daulah)

Next up is the charming Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah, often called the Baby Taj. It’s quieter than the main Taj Mahal but incredibly intricate and photogenic.

This mini marvel is a great spot to explore Mughal art up close and get some amazing photos without the crowds.

???? 11:30 AM: Optional Stop at Mehtab Bagh

If you're up for it, your guide can take you to Mehtab Bagh, a garden complex that offers a reverse view of the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna River. It’s peaceful, green, and perfect for one last look at the monument before heading back.

????️ 12:00 PM: Drive Back to Delhi

By noon, it’s time to hit the road back to Delhi. Most people take this time to nap or reflect on the day as you cruise back on the expressway.

???? 3:30 – 4:00 PM: Drop-Off at Your Hotel

You’ll be dropped back at your hotel or airport in Delhi by mid-afternoon, with your heart full and your phone bursting with incredible photos.
