Agra rewards an early start. This private day trip packs the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and Baby Taj into roughly 12 hours, with door-to-door pickup from Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Ghaziabad, or Faridabad. I like the private air-conditioned car and the chance to explore with one guide rather than trail behind a large group. I also like the option to add monument tickets and lunch at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Agra.

The main drawback is the long road day. The drive from Delhi takes about 3.5 to 4 hours each way, so you may spend nearly as much time in the car as you do sightseeing. The monuments also come quickly, and one person noted that the pace felt brisk, though that is the trade-off for seeing Agra in a single day.
