This is not just a trip — it's a smooth, high-speed ride into India’s rich history, romance, and architectural brilliance.

Why Choose the Gatimaan Express?

Let’s face it, road trips from Delhi to Agra can get long and bumpy, especially with traffic and unpredictable delays. That’s where the Gatimaan Express shines. This is India’s first semi-high-speed train, running at 160 km/hr and covering the Delhi-Agra distance in just 90 minutes. It’s not just fast — it’s comfortable, air-conditioned, and includes onboard meals to keep you refreshed.

The Agra Day Tour Company times everything perfectly, ensuring you catch the morning Gatimaan from Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station and return the same evening — with memories to last a lifetime.

Warm Welcome and Guided Comfort

Upon arrival at Agra Cantt Railway Station, a professional and friendly tour guide from the Agra Day Tour Company is ready to meet you with a smile and a placard with your name. Forget the confusion of navigating local transport or haggling with taxi drivers — your ride is waiting.

You’ll be chauffeured in an air-conditioned car throughout the day. From pick-up to drop-off, the experience is seamless and worry-free. The guide is not just a narrator of facts; they’re your storyteller, your local insider, and your companion for the day.

First Stop: The Magnificent Taj Mahal

Nothing quite prepares you for your first glimpse of the Taj Mahal. As the white marble glows under the sun, its reflection in the water channels gives it an almost dream-like appearance. Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

Your guide shares stories that go beyond the usual history books — tales of love, loss, and architectural marvels that will make you see the Taj not just as a building but as a soul-stirring experience.

Next Up: Agra Fort – The Seat of Power

After being swept away by the beauty of the Taj, your next stop is the Agra Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built from red sandstone, this fort was once the main residence of the Mughal emperors. You’ll walk through grand halls, royal pavilions, and secret chambers — and even stand at the spot where Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his own son, looking out at the Taj Mahal from afar.

Delicious Lunch at a Local Restaurant

By now, you’ve probably worked up quite an appetite. The Agra Day Tour Company takes you to a clean, hygienic restaurant serving authentic Indian cuisine. Whether you’re into spicy curries, buttery naan, or tangy pickles, you’re in for a flavorful treat.

Optional Detour: Mehtab Bagh or Local Handicrafts

Depending on your time and interests, the tour may include a visit to Mehtab Bagh, a charming garden across the Yamuna River offering a unique rear view of the Taj Mahal — perfect for photos. Alternatively, you can explore Agra’s bustling markets, full of marble inlay work, leather goods, carpets, and local artistry. It’s a shopper’s paradise!

Return Journey: Back to Delhi in Comfort

After a full day of exploration, your guide will escort you back to Agra Cantt Station. Board the evening Gatimaan Express, relax in your comfortable seat, and reflect on the day's magic as the train glides smoothly back to Delhi.

You’ll arrive around 7:30 PM, with a heart full of stories and a phone full of stunning pictures.
