No matter how much time you have in India, no visit to the country is complete without
ticking off the Taj Mahal. Skip the stress of advance planning on a day trip to the Taj
Mahal from New Delhi, the ideal choice for first-time visitors short on time. Travel in
the air-conditioned comfort of a private car and take convenience breaks whenever you
need. Letting someone else drive gives you more time to focus on the scenery.
