Delhi is not only the capital city of India and a modern metropolis but a treasure chest of ancient and medieval heritage with breathtaking architectural beauty. Join us on this eight-hour private guided tour and discover this ancient town.
We will pick you up from your hotel or accommodation between 9:00 am and 11:00 am in the morning, at your preference, and drive you to the tomb of the famous Mughal emperor Humayun. In 1993 the tomb, located in Nizamuddin East, was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. It is also the Indian subcontinent's first garden-tomb.
Visit another UNESCO World Heritage site, Qutab Minar, a 73-meter-high tower and the world's highest brick minaret. It was built by Qutub-ud-din Aibak in 1193 immediately after they defeated the last Hindu king of Delhi. We will then take you to the Lotus Temple, the last of seven major Bahai temples constructed out of pure white marble in 1986.
Travel now over to Old Delhi. Your first stop is Jama Masjid, a highly decorative mosque built of red sandstone and white marble with three large gates, four towers, and two 40-meter-high minarets. Travelers are permitted to hire robes at the northern gate. This may be the only time you find yourself looking like a local without feeling like a stranger!
Roam to India Gate, next in New Delhi city center. This 42-meter-high archway commemorates the sacrifice made during the First World War by 70,000 Indian soldiers who lost their lives fighting for the British Army. We will then take you to the gigantic Red Fort, a historic fort that rises above the clamor of Old Delhi and was formed by the Mughals.
After the tour is over we'll drop you off at your hotel or place. Please note that the tour price does not include entrance fees to the monuments.

Explore the best of Jaipur in a day with Jaipur Sightseeing full day tour. From Amber Palace to Hawa Mahal and Jal Mahal, this fully guided tour offers a window into Jaipur’s main attractions.
Your tour will start with a visit to the Amber Palace in Devisinghpura. The Amber Fort stands as a magnificent blend of Hindu and Muslim architectural styles. Situated on rugged hills outside Jaipur, this splendid structure, crafted from red sanstone and white marble, promises a captivating experience.
Next, we travel to Panna Meena ka Kund near Amber Fort before heading to Jal Mahal. Situated in the heart of Man Sagar Lake, the Jal Mahal (Water Palace) is a remarkable example of Rajput culture. Originally built in red sandstone, the palace and its surrounding lake were expanded and renovated in the 18th century by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Amber.
Then, we will visit Hawa Mahal (Palace of wind). This iconic landmark was commissioned by Sawai Pratap Singh. Originally designed for the royal household, the palace features tiered arches with intricate “jali” – latticework screens. Our next stop will be Jaipur’s City Palace. Built by Maharaja Jai Singh, the City Palace of Jaipur showcases the architectural brilliance of the notable astronomer. Explore the palace and its corners, which once served as the residence of the royal family.
Our final stop is the Jantar Mantar monument. Home to the world’s largest stone sundial, this UNESCO World Heritage site is the largest stone observatory in the world. Then, our representative will drop you off at your hotel, ending the tour.
If you are pressed for time or need to get back to Delhi on the same day then this is the perfect tour to see beautiful Agra, Taj Mahal and other famous monuments. Every day thousands of tourists from all over the world come here to witness the wonders of the Mughal period and, in particular, the pristine beauty of the Taj Mahal and other ancient sites, Itimad-Ud- Daulah, Sikandra, Red Fort, and Fatehpur Sikri.
Our tour starts at 6:00 in the morning in Delhi where we'll pick you up from your hotel and head towards Agra and the Taj Mahal, stopping at sites along the way. After arrival in Agra, we will visit the different monuments and also see the city of Agra. We will continue our drive back to Delhi later in the afternoon, and drop you off at your hotel. This tour involves pick-up and drop-off, a personal guide, driver and car, all the monument tickets, lunch, and drink.
The famed Taj Mahal is a white marble mausoleum designed by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife. It is widely recognised as a jewel of Muslim art in India and as a unanimously admired masterpiece of world heritage. This site was designated a World Heritage Site in 1983.
Agra has come a long way from the day when tales of the Mughal riches and splendor were popular across the seven seas surrounding its fairy tale courts. Today it is like other northern Indian urban areas but still distinctive because it retains its medieval nature. Transport back to a different era with the serpentine bylanes, old homes, and markets crowded with people and goods. Walking through Agra's streets, you might even come across a small dim-lit workshop where artisans claim to be descendants of ancestors who served in Mughal courts.
A great way of seeing Agra and Taj Mahal!
