About this tour
This two-day private tour pairs a full day among Delhi’s greatest landmarks with the Mughal splendour of Agra. Day 1 sweeps across New and Old Delhi — from the Qutub Minar and Humayun’s Tomb to India Gate, the Red Fort, the bazaar lanes of Chandni Chowk, and Akshardham Temple — before an evening drive to Agra.

Itinerary

Day 1Delhi → Agra14 stops
Pick up from anywhere in Delhi NCR
We collect you from any hotel, residence, or airport in Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, Gurgaon (Gurugram), Ghaziabad, or Faridabad — including Delhi (IGI) Airport, Hindon Airport in Ghaziabad, and Noida International Airport in Jewar. Tell us any pickup time between 7:00 AM and 11:00 AM and your professional driver will be there in a private air-conditioned car, ready to head for the first monument. Your private guide meets you close to that first stop and remains with you for the whole day.
Visit Qutub Minar
The first stop is the Qutub Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the south of the city and, at 73 meters, the tallest brick minaret anywhere. Beyond the tower itself the complex holds early mosque architecture, carved colonnades, and the famous Iron Pillar, and your guide draws out the story that ties them together.
Visit Humayun’s Tomb
A short drive north brings you to Humayun’s Tomb, also UNESCO-listed. This 16th-century mausoleum sits at the center of formal Persian gardens, and its proportions and materials were the template Mughal builders refined over the following century — most famously at the monument you will see on Day 2.
Drive Past India Gate
Head into the ceremonial center of New Delhi for India Gate, the 42-meter arch commemorating the Indian soldiers lost in the First World War, seen from the comfort of your car.
Drive Past the President’s House
Continue along Raisina Hill past the President’s House — Rashtrapati Bhavan — the official residence of the President of India. Where traffic and security conditions allow, a brief photo stop can be made.
Drive Past Parliament House
Alongside it stands Parliament House, home to India’s national legislature. This is a drive-past stop as well, with a short pause for photographs if conditions permit.
Meal Break
Stop for lunch in Connaught Place. Your guide can recommend a dependable local multi-cuisine restaurant that our guests use regularly, or you may pick another nearby spot yourself. Lunch sits outside the standard tour price and is available as an optional add-on.
Red Fort — Photo Stop from Outside
The afternoon belongs to Old Delhi, starting at the Red Fort, built by Emperor Shah Jahan and the seat of Mughal authority for two hundred years. You stop for photographs along its sandstone walls by the Lahori Gate; the fort is seen from outside, so no entrance ticket applies.
Visit Jama Masjid
Nearby stands Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in the country, with a courtyard that holds thousands and minarets that rise above the rooftops of the old city. Modest dress is required, and the mosque may close briefly to visitors at prayer times.
Chandni Chowk Rickshaw Ride
Swap the car for a cycle rickshaw and ride into Chandni Chowk, the historic bazaar laid out in Mughal times and still one of the busiest streets in Delhi. The ride is part of your tour price.
Khari Baoli Spice Market
The lanes open out at Khari Baoli, the largest wholesale spice market in Asia, where turmeric, chillies, cardamom, nuts, and dried fruit are stacked in the same doorways traders have used for generations. There is no entry charge, and your guide explains how the market works.
Visit Akshardham Temple
The Delhi day finishes at Akshardham Temple, a vast complex of hand-carved sandstone and marble beside the Yamuna, deliberately kept for last because it sits right where the road to Agra begins. Note that Akshardham closes on Mondays — on a Monday departure you may choose Gurudwara Bangla Sahib or Agrasen ki Baoli in its place.
Drive to Agra
In the evening, travel to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway — a comfortable drive of around 3.5 hours in a private air-conditioned car.
Hotel Check-in
Check in to your hotel in Agra and spend the evening at leisure.
Day 2Agra → Delhi5 stops
Taj Mahal — Sunrise
You are collected from your hotel in Agra for the sunrise visit, and your private guide meets you at the Taj Mahal and stays with you for the full day’s sightseeing. Marvel at the magnificent Taj Mahal, built by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1632 in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. In the soft morning light, the brilliant white marble glows against the Agra sky, revealing the beauty of its intricate inlay work, symmetrical architecture, and Persian gardens. Your guide shares its timeless story and helps you photograph the monument from its finest viewpoints.
A note on Friday visits
The Taj Mahal interior is closed every Friday for prayer. If Day 2 of your tour falls on a Friday — for example, a Thursday start — the itinerary is reversed: Agra and the Taj Mahal are visited on Day 1, and Delhi sightseeing on Day 2. Your itinerary is re-sequenced accordingly.
Hotel Breakfast and Check-out
Return to your hotel after the Taj Mahal visit for breakfast and check out before continuing the sightseeing. Breakfast is included with the 3-Star, 4-Star, and 5-Star hotel options. Guests who select the Without Hotel option will arrange their own breakfast and accommodation.
Agra Fort
Explore the majestic Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built by Emperor Akbar in 1573. Walk through its grand courtyards, palaces, and halls, and enjoy a view of the Taj Mahal from its ramparts.
Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj)
Visit the elegant Baby Taj, also known as the Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah, commissioned by Empress Noor Jahan in memory of her father. Admire its delicate white marble architecture, intricate inlay work, detailed lattice screens, and peaceful Persian-style gardens while your private guide explains its importance in the development of Mughal architecture.
Fatehpur Sikri (Optional Visit)
Fatehpur Sikri is a beautiful UNESCO-listed Mughal city near Agra. It is offered as an optional add-on rather than a standard inclusion because the site requires a separate entry ticket, a shared shuttle bus from the parking lot, and a local government-approved guide — all of which add cost. It can be added on the drive back; please request it at the time of booking. The drive from Agra is approximately 1 hour each way, plus around 45 minutes visiting the site — approximately 3 hours in total added to the day.
Drop off to anywhere in Delhi NCR
After completing your Agra sightseeing, relax during the 3.5-hour drive back to Delhi via the Yamuna Expressway. Drop-off is available at any hotel, residence, or airport in Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, Gurgaon (Gurugram), Ghaziabad, or Faridabad — including Delhi (IGI) Airport, Hindon Airport in Ghaziabad, and Noida International Airport in Jewar. If you wish to be dropped off in Jaipur instead, an additional cost applies — please request this at the time of booking.
