The tour begins at Humayun's Tomb, a breathtaking 16th century Mughal masterpiece set within a beautifully maintained Persian-style garden. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the architectural precursor to the Taj Mahal, the red sandstone tomb rises with a quiet grandeur that sets the tone perfectly for a day in Delhi.
A short drive brings you to the India Gate, the soaring war memorial at the heart of Lutyens' Delhi with the names of over 80,000 Indian soldiers carved into its stone. Set along the grand ceremonial boulevard of Kartavya Path, the surrounding lawns and the scale of the monument make it one of the most impressive public spaces in the country.
Drive past the newly renovated Parliament house building, where all of the country's important decision making meetings are held.
One of the largest residences in the world, explore the President's House's impressive architecture. The Mughal Gardens within the complex are open to visitors and are among the most beautifully maintained gardens in New Delhi.
After lunch at a magnificent Indian restaurant, visit the Lotus Temple, one of the most architecturally distinctive buildings in India. Shaped like an unfolding lotus flower in gleaming white marble, the temple welcomes people of all faiths.
End the day at the Qutub Minar, Delhi's iconic 73-metre sandstone minaret and a UNESCO World Heritage Site dating back to the 12th century. The surrounding Qutub Archaeological Complex is filled with remarkable monuments, intricate carvings, and centuries of history that your guide will bring vividly to life as the sun sets over the ruins.
Your exploration of Old Delhi begins at the magnificent Red Fort, the seat of Mughal power for nearly two centuries and one of the most important monuments in India. Built by Shah Jahan, the same emperor who commissioned the Taj Mahal, the fort's grand gateways, ornate palaces, and vast courtyards are a remarkable testament to the ambition and artistry of the Mughal Empire at its height.
A short walk from the fort stands the Jama Masjid, one of the largest and most magnificent mosques in India. Built by Shah Jahan and capable of holding up to 25,000 worshippers in its sweeping marble courtyards, the mosque is a place of immense scale, beauty, and living devotion.
Dive into the heart of Old Delhi at Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest and most vibrant markets in the country. Your guide will take you on a heritage walk through its labyrinthine lanes, past centuries-old havelis, ancient temples, and food stalls that have been feeding Delhi for generations.
