DETAILED SCHEDULE

2 days Taj Mahal tour itinerary

Day 1

Day 1: Delhi arrival, Delhi sightseeing and drive to Agra

Our driver meets you at Delhi airport or your Delhi hotel. How the day runs depends on your arrival time and whether you are already in Delhi.

If you are already in Delhi, we begin with a half day guided tour of the city:

Jama Masjid: one of the largest mosques in India, built by Emperor Shah Jahan, who also built the Taj Mahal.
Rickshaw ride in Old Delhi: a ride through the narrow lanes of Chandni Chowk.
Spice market: Khari Baoli, one of the largest wholesale spice markets in Asia.
India Gate: the war memorial at the heart of New Delhi.

If you are arriving specially for the Taj Mahal, we drive you straight from the airport to Agra.

The drive to Agra takes about 3.5 to 4 hours on the Yamuna Expressway. On arrival, check in to your 4 star hotel. The evening is at leisure, with dinner at the hotel.

Overnight: Agra
Meals: Dinner
Day 2

Day 2: Taj Mahal at sunrise, Agra Fort and return to Delhi

We start early, so you are at the Taj Mahal as the gates open. Sunrise is the quietest time of day, and the white marble changes colour as the light rises. Your guide explains the history, the architecture and the love story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal, and shows you the best spots for photographs.

After the visit, return to the hotel for breakfast and check out.

Next is a guided tour of Agra Fort, the red sandstone fortress of the Mughal emperors. From its marble pavilions, Shah Jahan is said to have spent his last years looking across the river at the Taj Mahal.

Afterwards we drive you back to Delhi and drop you at your preferred location, either your hotel or the airport.

Meals: Breakfast
If you have an evening flight from Delhi, please book a departure after 9:00 pm to allow for traffic.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Is 2 days enough for a Taj Mahal tour from Delhi?
Yes. Two days is the ideal length. You stay overnight in Agra, see the Taj Mahal at sunrise, visit Agra Fort and return to Delhi without rushing.
Why choose a 2 day tour instead of a same day tour?
A same day tour means a very early start from Delhi and a long day on the road. With an overnight stay you are already in Agra, so you reach the Taj Mahal at opening time, when it is cooler and quieter.
How far is Agra from Delhi?
Agra is about 230 km from Delhi. The drive takes about 3.5 to 4 hours on the Yamuna Expressway.
Is the Taj Mahal open every day?
No. The Taj Mahal is closed every Friday. On all other days it opens around sunrise and closes around sunset.
Are entrance tickets included in the price?
No. Entrance tickets are not included, as ticket prices differ by nationality. We can arrange your tickets in advance so you do not wait in the queue.
Is this a private tour?
Yes. The tour is fully private, with your own car, driver and guide. You will not be joined by other travellers.
Can you pick me up from Delhi airport?
Yes. We pick you up from Delhi airport or any hotel in Delhi, Gurgaon or Noida, and drop you at your preferred location at the end of the tour.
What if I arrive in Delhi late in the day?
The tour is planned around your arrival time. If you arrive late, we skip the Delhi sightseeing and drive you directly to Agra.
Which hotel will I stay in?
You stay one night in a 4 star rated hotel in Agra, with breakfast and dinner. We can upgrade you to a 5 star or luxury hotel on request.
Is the tour suitable for families and senior travellers?

An absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! We couldn’t be happier with the trip organized by Dreamday Tours. The service was impeccable, and we felt supported and well taken care of from the very beginning to the very end. Ashfaq was extremely responsive, helpful, and always available whenever we had a question or needed anything. The hotel he booked for us was perfect, and the restaurant at the hotel was also excellent. Everything was very well organized, which allowed us to simply relax and enjoy the experience without having to worry about the logistics. The two safaris were absolutely incredible and were definitely highlights of our trip. Of course, when it comes to wildlife, there is always an element of luck involved — something no agency can control or guarantee. But in terms of organization, communication, and overall service, Dreamday Tours was outstanding. We felt that we could completely trust them throughout the whole trip, and that made the experience even more enjoyable. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their clients and want everything to go smoothly. We highly recommend Dreamday Tours to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and attentive agency. We are extremely happy with everything they organized for us and would absolutely book with them again!

Dream Day Tours Golden Triangle and Tiger Safari Tour is definitely worth booking! Review of Dream Day Tours - Golden Triangle plus Tiger Safari Tour This past June my wife and I traveled to India with one of my wife’s colleagues to visit her husband’s hometown in Assam, India. It was great seeing a part of India from the perspective of a family that lived there, but since this was my wife’s first time to India, we decided to book a tour to show her some other beautiful sites. And so, we booked a lovely tour through Dream Day Tours, which is based in Jaipur. It was called the Golden Triangle Tour with Tiger Safari. It was just the two of us on the tour, so Dream Day Tours catered everything to our needs and desires. To begin, we flew into Delhi and Dream Day arranged for a driver to bring us from the airport to the Welcomehotel by ITC in Dwarka. Excellent hotel with very good food. The next day, we started our tour with the driver that was assigned to us, Jeetu Singh. Jeetu was great and transported us to our various destinations for the entire tour. We were also provided with a local guide for Delhi, Aarif Sheikh. Aarif was an excellent guide. He gave us a lot of historical and cultural information and took us to Jama Masjid, which was a spectacular mosque built in the time of the Mughals in the 1600’s, and still used for prayer today. We also got a bicycle rickshaw ride in Chandni Chowk, which is a lively and colorful market nearby. We were also taken to a grand Sikh Temple and learned of the generosity of the Sikh’s to their pilgrims and temple visitors. We appreciated the visits to the monuments and museums that were made around the life and death of Mahatma Gandhi in Delhi. The next morning Jeetu brought us to Agra to see the Taj Mahal. We were met there by our guide Vipin. The Taj is spectacular, and basically was the only site we visited in Agra. Vipin brought us to various places to see the Taj under different views and at sunrise and sunset. We had total access to the Taj and its grounds, and Vipin, an amateur photographer took many beautiful and romantic photos of us with the Taj as a background. In fact, he took such a beautiful photo of us that we both use it as our most recent FB profile page. He definitely has talent as a photographer! On our way from Agra to Jaipur, Jeetu had us visit Fatehpur Sikri, which was the capital of the Mughal empire under Emperor Akbar in the 1500’s. This was certainly worth the visit. And we also stopped at a step well, which was a structure that was used historically to provide water to the inhabitants of the area. It was really different, fascinating, and ingenious! In Jaipur, the Pink City, we were again provided with a guide that was very versed in Indian culture and history, Mr. Raghuveer. He immediately brought us the Hawa Mahal, or Wind Palace, which is an incredibly beautiful structure overlooking a large busy square. We were again brought there by the Dream Day Tours owner, Ashfaq, in the evening, to see its beauty at night. Phenomenal! We had stressed that, besides seeing traditional tourist sites, we wanted to get an experience that showed us some of what really goes on in Jaipur streets, so Mr. Raghuveer took us to the flower market, where we were showered with flowers. This seemed especially appropriate for us since we had just celebrated our 40th anniversary. It was wild, and the flowers were beautiful, and an Indian friend of ours said it was like we were getting married! Then we visited the extraordinarily ornate and expansive Amber Fort, which was built in the 1500s by a Hindu Raj that had a political alliance with the Muslim Moghul Emperor Akbar. Beyond beautiful! Didn’t think that could be topped, but then we were brought to the City Palace, which was unbelievable in its majesty! Other things that made the trip a super experience were seeing a real snake charmer and having a hands-on interaction with an elephant, which was very weird, very exciting, and a little unnerving! We were definitely in India, far from home! And since we were so far, my wife wanted to go on a tiger safari, which we did at the Ranthambore National Park. We were lucky enough to spot some tigers in their natural environment, and we also saw other wildlife like bears, crocodiles, wild boars, a slew of peacocks and peahens, and other big birds and wildlife! It was all good, and Ashfaq at Dream Day Tours made it all possible for us by coordinating our itinerary, providing us with excellent guides, great hotels (with dinners and breakfasts included most days), and providing us with our beloved driver, Jeetu, who got us to every site and more, and then to the airport in ample time to catch our flight home! Thank you, Dream Day Tours!

An experience made possible only by them, fantastic in every way! I am truly happy to recommend this tour operator who has been incredibly accommodating towards me from the very beginning. They made the impossible possible, in the sense that I had little time but wanted to see too many things. With them, it was possible. Transfers and guides all for me, as I was traveling alone, and they were super friendly and efficient. They had breakfast ready for me in the car after a visit, they accommodated me in every way, and I arrived at the airport more punctual than ever despite the traffic to catch my return flight. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, especially to Ashfaq who personally welcomed me and was so, so patient. If you want to travel without worries and safely, choose this tour operator. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for my unforgettable experience. ❤️

Better than we could have imagined! This was the most well organised trip we could have asked for! Ashfaq and the team couldn't have done more to make the trip better - hotel was stunning, lifts to and from Safari on time (and aircon!) and the best Safari, 2 groups and 1 private ( we saw 7 Tigers). This was a trip tailored to us, made very special! Highly recommend Dream Day Tours if you want the best trip of a life time at a great price!

Good Experience We had a great experience. My friend and I booked the trip just two weeks before arriving in India, and they responded quickly and made everything possible. We shared what we wanted to see, and they created a plan around it. We also had a fantastic driver who was very kind and always made sure we had everything we needed, including water, soda, and beer.

Saw Tigers and Crocodiles! We did 3 safaris, on the first two we saw lots of wildlife including monkeys, deer, hyenas, peacocks and other birds, but no tigers… And then on the third, we were lucky enough to see on four separate occasions a tiger casually strolling through its natural habitat. We got close enough to take good photos and one even walked straight past the Jeep! We also saw a couple of crocodiles by the lake which topped it off. Very enjoyable experience!
