The day starts with a hotel pickup in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. A professional English-speaking guide joins you, making sure your experience is both informative and engaging. The tour begins in Old Delhi, the heart of Mughal-era heritage.

First stop: Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in India. Standing tall since 1656, its grand domes and minarets create a spiritual vibe you can feel in your bones. From there, you’ll take a thrilling rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk, Delhi’s oldest and busiest market. It’s a sensory explosion—spices, fabrics, street food, and chaos that somehow feels magical.

Next is the Red Fort, an iconic symbol of India’s history and power. Though you’ll mostly admire it from the outside due to time constraints, the guide ensures you walk away with a rich understanding of its architectural and historical significance.

As you shift into New Delhi, the atmosphere transforms. Wide roads, green boulevards, and colonial buildings greet you. One of the major highlights here is the India Gate, a war memorial that honors soldiers who died in World War I. Nearby stands Rashtrapati Bhavan, the official residence of the President of India, a grand architectural marvel from the British Raj era.

No Delhi tour is complete without visiting Qutub Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This 73-meter-high minaret, built in the 12th century, is surrounded by ruins that tell tales of ancient dynasties. You’ll also stop by the majestic Humayun’s Tomb, often called the forerunner to the Taj Mahal, thanks to its Persian-style architecture and stunning symmetry.

Later, explore the Lotus Temple, known for its striking flower-like shape and open-door policy to all religions. It's a peaceful spot perfect for a few moments of reflection.

Hungry? Don’t worry. Discover The Taj Company arranges a delicious lunch at a reputed local restaurant where you can sample North Indian delicacies—think butter chicken, naan, dal makhani, and more.

The tour continues with a visit to Raj Ghat, the serene memorial of Mahatma Gandhi. It’s a humbling space that honors the life and legacy of the Father of the Nation.
