  3. For anyone short on time, a Same Day Tour of Taj Mahal by Car from Delhi is completely doable — long day but worth it. If you have a bit more time, though, an Agra Local Sightseeing Tour with Taj Mahal that also covers Agra Fort and Mehtab Bagh gives a much fuller picture of the city instead of just rushing to the one monument.
