Delhi is not just India's capital city and a modern-day metropolis but a treasure trove of ancient and medieval heritages displaying stunning architectural beauty. Join us on this private, guided, eight-hour tour and discover this ancient city. We will pick you up from your hotel or accommodation between 9:00 am and 11:00 am in the morning (you choose the time) and drive you to the tomb of the famous Mughal emperor Humayun. The tomb, located in Nizamuddin East, was declared a Unesco World Heritage site in 1993. It is also the first garden-tomb in the Indian subcontinent. Visit another Unesco World Heritage site, Qutab Minar, a soaring, 73-meter tower and the tallest brick minaret in the world. It was built in 1193 by Qutub-ud-din Aibak immediately after defeating Delhi’s last Hindu king. We will then take you to the Lotus Temple , the last of seven major Bahai temples that was built in 1986 out of pure white marble. Head for Old Delhi now. Your first stop is Jama Masjid, a highly decorative mosque with three large gates, four towers and two 40-metre-high minarets constructed of red sandstone and white marble. Travellers can hire robes at the northern gate. This may be the only time you get to dress like a local without feeling like an outsider so make the most of it. Travel to India Gate, located at the centre of New Delhi, next. This 42-metre-high archway commemorates the sacrifice made by 70,000 Indian soldiers who lost their lives fighting for the British Army during the World War I. We will then take you to the massive Red Fort, a historic fort that rises above the clamour of Old Delhi and was built by the Mughals. We will drop you off at your hotel or location after the tour is over. Please note that entrance fees to the monuments is not included in the tour price.

As described the tour is full on but its so worth it to see so much. This tour really throws you into Indian history and witnessing day-to-day life was fascinating. You cover a lot of ground with some very long travel days but the sites around Rajasthan make up for it with stops always providing interest. The hotels were great with a good mix between heritage properties and the modern facilities. Gajner Palace hotel was a particular highlight and the setting is incredible.

A Taste of Southern India - Temples and Tea Plantations

This was my first trip as a single person and I had a fabulous time. The group of 12 (four couples and four singles) really gelled and were very friendly, supportive and fun. The itinerary was very good, with at least one specific thing to do, see or visit each day. The high points were the tea plantation, the spice farm, the cookery evening, the wonderful scenery and the houseboat . The accommodation was generally very good, but the homestay was too basic to be an enjoyable experience. It didn't feel as though we were guests in someone's home, it felt more like a commercial exercise (eg the host talked of building a hotel next year to accommodate more guests). The food was excellent in most places with some well-chosen restaurants/snack bars, and plenty of choice for vegetarians, but I was a little disappointment at the street food experience, which was just selecting one cold, precooked snack (such as samosa, vada or fritter.) I was anticipating some freshly cooked food (while we looked on) such as rice and dahl or pani puri. Also, I thought that the purpose of visiting the market was to select spices and vegetables to use later in our cookery evening, but there wasn't an obvious link. Our guide, Sree, was flexible, knowledgeable and very accommodating of all our needs. Overall a really great experience with a great group of people. Will definitely use Explore again for another adventurous trip.
