Traveler Reviews
The super fast express train tour to the Taj Mahal was fantastic. We were picked up from our hotel in Delhi and driven to the station. The express train to Agra was really comfortable with AC and plenty of legroom. Arrived in Agra in about 2 hours and our guide was waiting at the station. The Taj Mahal was absolutley breathtaking, even more beautiful than I imagined. We also had time for Agra Fort and a nice lunch before catching the train back. Arrived in Delhi by 8pm. Perfect day trip.
Chose the express train option over driving to Agra and I am so glad I did. The train was fast, clean and on time. In Agra our guide was waiting with a driver and we went straight to the Taj Mahal. The guide was incredibly passionate about the history and took us to the best photo spots that most tourists miss. We visited Agra Fort as well which has amazing views of the Taj from across the river. The whole day was perfectly coordinated from pickup to drop off.
Good same day Taj Mahal tour by express train. The train experience itself was interesting and much faster than driving on the highway. Our Agra guide was excellent and very knowledgable about Mughal architecture. The Taj Mahal did not disappoint, it is truly one of the wonders of the world. Only reason for 4 stars is the lunch was average and the train back was delayed by about 30 minutes. But overall definately reccomend the train over a car journey for this day trip.
Brilliant day trip from Delhi to the Taj Mahal by super fast express train. We departed from Hazrat Nizamuddin station early morning and arrived in Agra quickly. The guide met us and took us to the Taj Mahal through the east gate avoiding the main queue. The white marble in the morning sun was stunning. Spent about 2.5 hours at the Taj then visited Agra Fort and had lunch. The return train journey gave us time to rest after a full day. Seamless experience from start to finish.
Taking the express train from Delhi to see the Taj Mahal was one of the best decisions of our India trip. The train was punctual and comfortable, much less stressful than a long car ride. Our guide in Agra was phenomenal, he explained every detail of the Taj's construction including the semi precious stone inlay work. We also visited the Baby Taj (Itimad ud Daulah) which was small but exquisite. Everything was well organized and we felt taken care of the entire day. Would absolutley do this again.
