Share Your Booking Details with the Tour Company
While booking your Taj Mahal Same Day Tour from Delhi, always remember to share the name of your hotel from where you want to be picked. There are many hotels with the same name in different locations or Hotels with similar names. Though most Drivers use google maps to track their location, it’s still time-consuming and not accurate at times. If possible after booking a tour via WhatsApp or online, always speak to the Travel agent or coordinator to confirm the pickup time, and location and also ask for Driver’s details and Cab number. Make sure, the driver knows the location of your hotel. This will help to avoid last-minute delays.
Leave Early Morning (Avoid in winter)
For the Same Day Taj Mahal Tour From Delhi, make sure you really leave early. If you are a blogger or social media influencer and want to have the best photos at the Taj mahal without people then it’s advisable to visit at Taj Mahal at Sunrise for skipping long queues and crowds. Taj Mahal and other Asi Monuments open from Sunrise to Sunset (Click here for more details). Try to reach the Taj mahal at least 45 mins before. For this, you should leave the hotel in Delhi at approx 2:30 am. Drive from Delhi to Agra is very comfortable and of 3 hrs. approx. There will be a toilet stop in between, where you can stretch your legs, and sip Indian Masala Chai, it tastes best when served in Clay pots, not in paper cups. Don’t hesitate to ask for multiple cups if you like them. Your chauffeur will be more than happy to do the needful. If you are just a traveler and not crazy about those Picture perfect moments then you can leave easily by 6 am.
It’s not advisable to leave before 6 am when it’s foggy in winter. From Mid-December till Mid January the countryside remains foggy, so avoid leaving early. An overnight stay in Agra is very much advisable.
Book Private Tour
Many times I have noticed that some travel companies offer a group tour with a limit maximum Pax of 10 or 12. Definitely, it’s a good option if you want to be on a budgeted tour. I believe it kills a lot of time in picking up other group members from their hotels. Up to the best of my knowledge, they don’t have any meeting place from where everyone can board at the same time. It also forces you strictly to stick to the schedule. If you want to spend more time in the Taj Mahal you cannot do so as the group is ready to leave.
So to keep it flexible, it’s advisable to book a private tour.

So Sigma’s rule is to book your ticket online. Taj Mahal Ticket
Keep your Driver busy
In the past few years, I have noticed many travelers prefer to start really early from Delhi to visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise. Though it’s a good option, sometimes for drivers, the drive is a bit boring. It’s a world-class highway (Yamuna Expressway) joining Delhi and Agra, making your drive really quick (approx 3 hrs) and very smooth. So always keep a check on your chauffeur, keep them busy in some conversation and allow them to take a break when required. This keeps them awake and attentive.
