Agra is just a 3.5 hrs to 4 hrs drive from Lucknow through an express-way which is considered as the most superior and safest highways in India. Agra is the most convenient drive from Lucknow. On this day trip to Agra one can see Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, enjoy some snacks in the car or opt for lunch in Agra. Drive back to Lucknow in the late afternoon/evening, reaching back by late dinner. Most friendly drivers and the guide in Agra make this trip a great experience.

I highly recommend Tornos if you are visiting Lucknow. Our guide Narayan and our driver Ali were fantastic. The two day visit allowed us to discover many aspects of the city (main monuments, historical background, religious aspects and also street food!). Visiting the city with a very knowledgeable guide added a lot to the experience. Already looking forward to coming back.
