At 9:50 AM, your driver and local tour guide will be waiting for you at Agra Cantonment railway station, holding a placard with your name so they're easy to find.

Built in 1632 by Emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal sits peacefully along the Yamuna River.

Awesome all-in-one tour!
I was in Mumbai for work for a few weeks and wanted to see the Taj Mahal, but I had limited time. I ended up booking this tour and a roundtrip flight from Mumbai to Delhi the same day. My flight left at 3am and I got in to Delhi around 5:30am. My driver was right on time at 6:30am to pick me up and take me to the train station (~40 minute drive), he was very nice and waited with me for the train to come then personally took me to my seat. The train ride was nice (a little less than two hours going, exactly 90 minutes coming back) and there was breakfast served, although I didn't get it because I was asleep. When I arrived in Agra my second driver was waiting to take me in to town and we picked up the guide on the way. It took about 15 minutes and we were in the gates of the Taj by 10:15am. The guide was very knowledgeable, answered all my questions, and took really great pictures for me the entire day. He also handled the tickets at each location. We spent about an hour touring the Taj then he gave me about 40 minutes to enjoy it alone. We then left and were picked up to go to the lunch buffet, which was good. Following this, we went to the Agra fort in which we spent about another hour touring then he gave me some more time to enjoy by myself. Afterward, I had about two hours before I had to be back at the train station so the guide took me to two shops that highlight the original craftsmanship of Agra and have souvenirs. We then went to a clothing shop and a tea shop his friend owned. I got some great souvenirs from these places. I was then taken back to the train station (dinner included on train), picked up by the same driver from the morning in Delhi, and got back to the airport about 8:30pm for my 9:40pm flight. It was a long day but VERY worth it. I would definitely recommend this tour as everything was very smooth and I heard of other people that had trouble with tickets and cabs because they didn't plan ahead of time, many of them got scammed as well. The driver in Agra was the same the whole time and I was able to leave my backpack in the car and just take what I needed. Everyone I interacted with from this tour company was very professional and nice. I am a 26 y/o female that was traveling solo and this tour made it very easy and safe for me.

Amazing Agra
This was an amazing trip.Loved the mingling with locals in the Gaatiman Express. It is only 2 hours to Agra from Delhi by train..we had breakfast while going and supper while with ample bottle water provided. The organization and professionalism was great. pick up and drop off to hotel. Wonderful English speaking guide was provided. Ram was knowledgeable and personable and made the trip enjoyable. We saw Taj Mahal and Agra Fort and a wonderful lunch was included. Would highly recommend this if you don't want overnight stay.

Lovely day at the Taj Mahal from Delhi
I only had one free day in Delhi and wanted to visit the Taj Mahal located in Agra. Limited time was my issue and understood that a car drive from Delhi to Agra could take up to 5 hours (just one way!) leaving little time for sightseeing in Agra. Since I needed to be back in Delhi the very same day, a friend from California recommended me this tour company explaining it to me that they will pick me at my hotel in Delhi, take me to the Delhi train station (Gatiman train), will “seat me” on my assigned seat and will pick me up in Agra as the train arrives so that “I wouldn’t have any worries getting there”. It happened as told: the driver Akhtar picked me up promptly at 7:00 am (as agreed) and took me to the Delhi train station. He was very kind and knowledgeable. In Agra, I was picked up by the tour guide Ram and I believe that by 10:15 am I was already walking in beautiful Taj Mahal. The tour guide was also knowledgeable and took many photos of me, as per my request. My tour included a visit to Agra Fort and Baby Taj. I loved the 3 places. Since we had an hour to spare before my train back to Delhi (5:50 pm), I decided to go back to the Taj Mahal and was able to take pictures of the afternoon with different light in the background, very beautiful. The tour experience was excellent. My lunch was included, the restaurant was clean and food was good. I requested non-spicy and the tour guide arranged for it. My train ticket included food in the train. That was the only thing I particularly didn’t eat. They give you also a bottle of water only thing I had on the train. Also, when I first signed up, a person contacted me right away via WhatsApp to make sure my hotel data was accurate and I was provided with a copy of my train tickets. I found that interaction very professional and this person had a quick turnaround on every question I had. In summary, I would definitely recommend this tour.

Awesome trip
It was an excellent tour. Very well organized. We were picked up at our hotel on time and taken to the train station. The driver Surender stayed with us and helped us board the train. On arrival to Agra our guide and driver were waiting for us. Liman was an excellent guide and Oumen kept us safe on the road. On getting back to Delhi, Surender was waiting for us on the train platform. The Taj Mahal was awesome, well worth the visit.

See everything Agra Trip Holidays runsWhy this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Taj Mahal Tour by Gatimaan Express Train/Rail All Inclusive: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does Taj Mahal Tour by Gatimaan Express Train/Rail All Inclusive cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New Delhi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Taj Mahal Tour by Gatimaan Express Train/Rail All Inclusive take?
+
Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New Delhi is not rushed.
Is Taj Mahal Tour by Gatimaan Express Train/Rail All Inclusive worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in New Delhi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Taj Mahal Tour by Gatimaan Express Train/Rail All Inclusive?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Taj Mahal Tour by Gatimaan Express Train/Rail All Inclusive suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Taj Mahal Tour by Gatimaan Express Train/Rail All Inclusive?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New Delhi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New Delhi and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Taj Mahal Tour by Gatimaan Express Train/Rail All Inclusive start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New Delhi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New Delhi?
+
On Outty we rank every New Delhi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Taj Mahal & Agra Fort Private Day Trip From Delhi with 5* Lunch, 5 Nights 6 Days Private Golden Triangle Tour - Delhi Agra Jaipur, Old & New Delhi Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New Delhi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New Delhi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Taj Mahal Tour by Gatimaan Express Train/Rail All Inclusive?
+
