Taj Mahal Day Tour By Welcome India Journey

Imagine seeing one of the Seven Wonders of the World up close, with the sun casting a golden glow on white marble as it shimmers like a dream — this is the Taj Mahal Day Tour by Welcome India Journey. Designed for travelers short on time but high on curiosity, this day trip packs in history, beauty, and cultural richness in a single, seamless experience.

Whether you're staying in Delhi or nearby cities, this guided tour is perfect for anyone who wants to witness the timeless symbol of love — The Taj Mahal — without the stress of planning.

Start Your Journey – Easy Pickup from Delhi

The adventure begins early in the morning as you're picked up from your hotel, airport, or any location in Delhi/NCR in a private, air-conditioned car. You’ll be accompanied by a courteous driver who ensures a smooth, safe, and comfortable 3.5-hour drive via the Yamuna Expressway — one of India’s best highways.

Relax, nap, or enjoy scenic views as you head toward Agra, the city of the Mughals.

First Stop – The Majestic Taj Mahal

Upon arrival in Agra, your personal English-speaking guide joins you to take you straight to the crown jewel — the Taj Mahal.

Commissioned in 1632 by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, this white marble mausoleum is a poetic tribute to eternal love. The architecture, intricate marble inlay work, and changing hues throughout the day make it a masterpiece of Mughal art.

Feel free to take your time exploring, listening to stories of love and loss, and capturing breathtaking photos from every angle.

Pro Tip: If you book the sunrise version of the tour, you’ll catch the Taj glowing in the morning light, which is especially magical.

Agra Fort – A Mughal Masterpiece

After the Taj, the next stop is the Agra Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built by Emperor Akbar in red sandstone, it served as the royal residence of the Mughal dynasty.

Walk through grand halls, audience chambers, and pavilions like:

Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience)
Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience)
Jahangir’s Palace and Khas Mahal

From certain vantage points, you can even see the Taj Mahal in the distance, creating a dramatic and poignant view, especially when you hear the tale of Shah Jahan's final days spent gazing at the tomb of his beloved.

Lunch at a Local Restaurant

Post sightseeing, indulge in a delicious lunch at one of Agra’s premium or heritage restaurants (included or optional based on your package). Enjoy mouthwatering dishes like butter chicken, paneer tikka, dal makhani, and traditional Indian breads.

Vegetarian and vegan options are readily available.

Optional Stops – Customize Your Experience

Depending on your interests and time, you can choose to add optional visits to:

Mehtab Bagh – A serene garden across the river for a stunning rear view of the Taj Mahal
Itimad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb – Known as the “Baby Taj,” a beautiful marble tomb that inspired the Taj Mahal
Marble Handicraft Shops – Learn how local artisans continue the art of marble inlay work

Welcome India Journey ensures you're not pressured into shopping unless you truly want to explore.

Return to Delhi – Memories to Last a Lifetime
