The tour begins with a pickup by a private driver anywhere in Delhi NCR. After meeting the guide, the sightseeing starts in New Delhi by car. The first phase includes a tuk-tuk ride through Old Delhi’s narrow lanes, guided by an expert, to explore the busy bazaars. The first stop is Jama Masjid, India's largest mosque built in 1656, where visitors walk around its red sandstone courtyard located near the Red Fort. Next is the Red Fort itself, a large complex built between 1639 and 1648 that served as the Mughal emperors’ residence, featuring a 2-kilometer-long wall. The tour continues with a visit to Khari Baoli, a well-known spice market in Chandni Chowk, where guests learn about different spices and their uses. Then the group drives to New Delhi’s India Gate, a war memorial from 1921 listing 13,300 Indian soldiers who died in World War I. Nearby is Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, a Sikh temple with a water tank believed to have healing properties dating back to 1664. Visitors also see the Rashtrapati Bhavan, the residence of the Indian president, and drive past the Parliament House for photo opportunities. Visitors choose between visiting Humayun's Tomb or the Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple. Humayun's Tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and India’s first garden tomb, was built by the emperor’s wife after his death. Akshardham, completed in 2005, is a large Hindu temple known for its detailed architecture. The tour then proceeds to Qutub Minar, the tallest brick minaret built in 1192 and part of a UNESCO World Heritage complex in Mehrauli. Optional stops include Raj Ghat, a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi located near the Yamuna River. The last stop is the Lotus Temple, a Bahá'í House of Worship opened in 1986, recognized for its flower-like shape. The tour ends with a drop-off at any location within Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad, or Faridabad. The full tour lasts about eight hours and includes a private air-conditioned car with a chauffeur, a private live guide, entrance tickets if selected, parking fees, tolls, fuel, bottled water, and umbrellas.
