Taj Mahal Day Trip From Delhi By Superfast Train With 5* Meal
A train ride makes Agra feel close. This all-in-one day trip strings together the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and the Baby Taj, with round-trip superfast train tickets and a 5-star buffet lunch.
I love how much is handled for you in advance: monument fees and a live guide service are included. I also like the food plan, with onboard meals on the train plus a Courtyard by Marriott Agra buffet lunch that actually feels like a treat instead of a rushed stop.
One drawback to think about is the date: the Taj Mahal is closed every Friday, so you’ll want to book for another weekday if your heart is set on it.
