About This Grand Delhi Trip

Delhi holds roughly a thousand years of building in one city. Mughal Old Delhi around Chandni Chowk and the Red Fort sits directly beside the wide colonial avenues of Lutyens' New Delhi, with the much older Qutub Minar complex and Humayun's Tomb further out.

It rewards a bit of planning. The itinerary groups sights geographically so you spend time looking at things rather than sitting in traffic.

Who This Tour Suits

  • First-time visitors to India
  • History travellers — three UNESCO World Heritage Sites sit inside the city
  • Food travellers; Old Delhi street food is a destination on its own

Know Before You Book

  • Traffic is the main constraint. Sights are grouped by area for a reason.
  • Air quality is poor from roughly late October to January; anyone with asthma should factor that in.
  • Old Delhi is best explored on foot or by cycle rickshaw — cars cannot navigate the lanes.
  • Many monuments close one day a week; the itinerary works around it.

What's Included

  • 6 nights premium hotel accommodation
  • Daily breakfast and dinner
  • Private air-conditioned cab for transfers & sightseeing
  • Certified local tour guide
  • All applicable taxes and toll charges
  • 24/7 on-trip travel assistance

Frequently Asked Questions

How many days do you need in Delhi?

Two full days covers the headline sights — Red Fort and Old Delhi, Qutub Minar, Humayun's Tomb, India Gate and the Lutyens area. Three or more lets you add Akshardham, the museums or a day trip to Agra without rushing.

Is Old Delhi safe for tourists?

Yes, and it is one of the most rewarding parts of the city. It is crowded and chaotic rather than dangerous. Normal precautions apply — keep valuables secure in dense crowds, and a guide makes the lanes around Chandni Chowk much easier to navigate and far more interesting.

What is the best time to visit Delhi?

October to March for comfortable temperatures. Summer, from April to June, regularly exceeds 40°C and makes daytime sightseeing difficult. Note that air quality dips sharply after Diwali and through the winter months.
