About This Tour

Noida to Agra Same Day Tourby Private Car

Book a same day Agra tour from Noida and enjoy the closest, fastest access to the Yamuna Expressway -- the 165 km, 6-lane controlled-access highway that connects Greater Noida directly to Agra. Noida residents benefit from a shorter travel time of just 3 to 3.5 hours to reach the Taj Mahal, making this one of the most convenient and affordable day trips from the NCR region. Triveni Cabs has been operating Noida to Agra tours since 2016, with a 4.9 Google rating and thousands of satisfied NCR customers.

The biggest advantage of starting from Noida is the proximity to the Yamuna Expressway's Greater Noida entry point near Pari Chowk. While travelers from central Delhi or Gurgaon must first navigate city traffic to reach the expressway, Noida residents are just 10-15 minutes away from Sector 149's expressway access. After pickup from your home, office, or any Noida sector -- including Noida Extension, Greater Noida West, and Knowledge Park -- our driver enters the expressway and maintains a steady 100 km/h, reaching Agra in under 3 hours. The expressway has toll plazas at km 39, km 80, and km 121, rest areas with clean washrooms, and round-the-clock CCTV surveillance.

Your first stop is the Taj Mahal, where we recommend arriving by 8:00-8:30 AM for the best experience. The early morning light transforms the white Makrana marble into shades of gold and pink, perfect for photography. We drop you at the East Gate (Shilpgram side) which has shorter queues than the South Gate. Spend about 2 hours exploring the main mausoleum, the flanking mosque and guest house (mehman-khana), and the immaculately maintained char-bagh garden with its reflecting channels. Pro tip: sit on the Diana Bench for the most popular photo angle that Princess Diana made famous in 1992.

From the Taj Mahal, a quick 5-minute drive brings you to Agra Fort, an imposing red sandstone citadel sprawling across 94 acres on the banks of the Yamuna. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was the main residence of Mughal emperors from Akbar to Aurangzeb. Inside, explore the ornate Diwan-i-Am, the private Diwan-i-Khas with its famous Peacock Throne platform, the shimmering Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace), and the heartbreaking Musamman Burj where Shah Jahan spent his final imprisoned years gazing at the distant Taj Mahal. The fort also offers excellent views of the Taj from multiple vantage points.

Lunch is at one of Agra's well-reviewed restaurants -- our driver will recommend the best options based on your preference. For authentic Mughlai food, Pinch of Spice and Dasaprakash are excellent choices. For street food enthusiasts, the area around Sadar Bazaar offers famous chaat, bedai-jalebi, and Agra's signature petha sweets. Do not leave Agra without trying petha from Panchhi or Bhagat Halwai -- these milk-based confections are unique to Agra and make perfect souvenirs.

After lunch, visit Itimad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj), a delicate marble masterpiece on the eastern bank of the Yamuna. Often called the "jewel box of Mughal architecture," this tomb predates the Taj Mahal and features the first extensive use of pietra dura (stone inlay) in India. The tomb is far less crowded than the Taj, giving you ample time for close-up photography of the intricate lattice screens and inlay work. Your final stop, Mehtab Bagh, offers the most iconic view of the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna -- the postcard-perfect shot that every visitor dreams of capturing.

Triveni Cabs offers the best Noida to Agra day trip fares in the NCR: Rs 4,500 for an AC sedan (Swift Dzire), Rs 6,500 for an SUV (Innova/Ertiga), and Rs 12,000 for a Tempo Traveller. All prices include Yamuna Expressway toll, parking at all four monuments, fuel, and driver allowance with zero hidden charges. Our vehicles are GPS-tracked, regularly serviced, and sanitized before each trip.

For Noida and Greater Noida residents looking for more North India travel options, Triveni Cabs also operates same-day Agra tours from Delhi, one-way cabs from Noida to Agra, airport transfers from Delhi IGI Airport, and multi-day Golden Triangle packages. Whether you are a family from Sector 62, a couple from Noida Extension, or a corporate group from Knowledge Park, we make your Agra day trip seamless and memorable.
