The Taj Mahal rewards an early start. This private Delhi to Agra trip pairs the monument with Agra Fort and the Baby Taj, using a private air-conditioned car, a local guide, and a return journey via the Yamuna Expressway. I like the door-to-door pickup from Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, or the airport, and I like that the private format lets you set the pace within a busy day.

I also like the choice of a buffet lunch at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Agra, particularly after a long morning at the monuments. The main drawback is the road time: Delhi to Agra takes about three and a half hours each way, so this is a long day with plenty of time in the car. The Baby Taj can also be affected by road closures, as some past departures have missed that stop.
