Catch a train from Jaipur to Agra on this 2-day tour to see some of India's most significant historical landmarks, including the famous Taj Mahal, a World Heritage site. A private guide will lead you on sightseeing tours of culturally rich sites such as Agra Fort, and you'll partake in some shopping for souvenirs or gifts. One night of accommodation and most meals are provided. At the end of the two days, head back to Jaipur by car.
Pickup at 8am from your hotel in Jaipur or the airport, then make the journey by air-conditioned vehicle, four hours drive to Agra.
About one hour from Agra, stop to see Fatehpur Sikri, a World Heritage Site that has been described as a 'perfectly preserved ghost town.'

Pickup 6am from your hotel and we visit Sunrise the famous Taj Mahal, A UNESCO World Heritage Site. No trip to Agra would be complete without a visit to this shimmering vision of domes and minarets.
