A journey to India is incomplete without visiting the Taj Mahal — a monument that stands as a symbol of love, history, and breathtaking architecture. If you are in Delhi and planning a short getaway, a Private Taj Mahal Agra Tour from Delhi is the perfect choice. Whether you are a couple seeking a romantic escape, a family exploring India’s heritage, or a solo traveler looking for a peaceful experience, this tour offers an ideal mix of comfort, flexibility, and discovery.
Why Choose a Private Tour from Delhi to Agra
The Taj Mahal attracts millions of visitors every year, and while group tours can be rushed and crowded, a private Agra tour by car from Delhi lets you travel at your own pace.

Here’s why travelers prefer private tours:
- Flexible Timings: Start your trip early to catch the sunrise or later for a relaxed morning.
- Comfortable Travel: Enjoy an air-conditioned private car with an experienced driver.
- Personalized Itinerary: Visit the sites that interest you most.
- No Hidden Costs: Transparent pricing with all charges clearly stated.
- Hassle-Free Booking: Simple online or phone booking options.
With professional car rental services in Delhi, planning a day trip to Agra has never been easier.
The Journey from Delhi to Agra
Agra is located about 210 km from Delhi and is well-connected via the Yamuna Expressway, one of India’s finest highways. The drive takes approximately 3–4 hours, offering scenic views along the way. Most travellers prefer to leave Delhi early in the morning to reach Agra by sunrise and witness the Taj Mahal bathed in golden light.
During your journey, your private driver ensures a smooth ride and can stop at roadside cafes or viewpoints upon request.
Highlights of the Agra Tour
1. Taj Mahal – The Epitome of Love
The Taj Mahal is the main attraction of your tour. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1631 in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is admired for its flawless white marble, intricate carvings, and perfectly symmetrical design.
At sunrise, the monument glows in soft hues of pink and gold — a breathtaking sight for photographers and romantics alike. A private English-speaking guide will accompany you to explain the monument’s fascinating history and hidden details.
2. Agra Fort – The Legacy of Mughal Power
Next, you’ll visit the Agra Fort, another UNESCO site located just 2.5 km from the Taj Mahal. Built by Emperor Akbar in 1565 and later expanded by Shah Jahan, the fort is a majestic example of Mughal architecture. Inside, you’ll find grand palaces, courtyards, and mosques such as Diwan-I-Am, Diwan-I-Khas, and Moti Masjid.
From the fort’s balconies, you can even catch a distant view of the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna River — a poignant reminder of Shah Jahan’s final days spent gazing at his creation.
3. Itmad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj) – A Mini Marvel
Known as the Baby Taj, the Itmad-ud-Daulah Tomb predates the Taj Mahal and is often considered its inspiration. Built for Mir Ghiyas Beg, the grandfather of Mumtaz Mahal, it’s the first structure in India made entirely of marble. The detailed inlay work and geometric patterns make it a photographer’s delight.
4. Mehtab Bagh – The Perfect Sunset View
For a serene end to your trip, visit Mehtab Bagh, a beautiful garden across the Yamuna River. It offers a stunning sunset view of the Taj Mahal — perfect for those who want to see the monument in changing colours as the day ends.
5. Local Crafts and Cuisine
Agra is also famous for its traditional handicrafts, marble souvenirs, and delicious sweets like Agra Petha. You can visit local markets to shop for souvenirs and experience Mughal-style cuisine at authentic restaurants.
Special Sunrise Tour from Delhi to Agra
For early risers and photographers, the Sunrise Taj Mahal Tour is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The private tour starts around 3:00–4:00 a.m. from Delhi, reaching Agra just in time for the breathtaking sunrise. Watching the Taj Mahal glow under the morning sun is magical, with fewer crowds and cooler weather.
After exploring the Taj, you can visit Agra Fort, Itmad-ud-Daulah, and Mehtab Bagh before heading back to Delhi in the evening.
