The round trip from Delhi covers around 400km on the Yamuna Expressway, roughly 3.5 hours each way, so you'll want an early start — most departures leave Delhi between 5:30 and 6:30am to reach Agra before the midday heat and crowds build up. Your guide sequences the visit to make the most of the light: the Taj Mahal first, when the white marble is easiest to photograph without haze, then Agra Fort in the early afternoon, when its red sandstone catches the sun well.

This tour is built around a straightforward two-monument day — if you'd also like to stop at the Itimad-ud-Daulah tomb (the so-called 'Baby Taj') on the way, see our day trip that includes it.
