From Delhi : Taj Mahal & Agra Tour with 5* Lunch

The Taj Mahal is the main event, but this private day trip gives you a much fuller picture of Agra than a quick photo stop. You see Shah Jahan’s famous marble mausoleum, the red sandstone Agra Fort, and the smaller Baby Taj, with a guide to explain what you are looking at. I especially like the private car from Delhi and the chance to choose a guide in English, French, German, Japanese, Russian, or Spanish.

I also like the small, flexible feel of a private group, plus the included tolls, parking, bottled water, and monument fees when that option is selected. The drawback is the long day: roughly 12 hours on the road and at the sights, with traffic and early starts affecting the pace.
