Description

Get picked up in the morning from your accommodation or directly from the airport. Relax in an air-conditioned vehicle as you drive to visit Old and New Delhi city. The places visited depend on the tour option you book. Experience the best of Delhi on a half-day private sightseeing tour with hotel transfers and air-conditioned transportation. Embark on a personalized journey and see highlights, such as India Gate, Humayun's Tomb, and the Rashtrapati Bhawan. Begin with pickup from a location of your choice in Delhi and explore India's capital from the comfort of a private, air-conditioned car and professional chauffeur. Admire the monuments of Delhi with your tour guide. Visit Agrasen Ki Baoli, an ancient stepwell that is 60 meters long, 15 meters wide, and has 108 steps with ornate stone details, including soaring arched walls and alcoves. Next, stop for photos at India Gate, an Arc-de-Triomphe-like 140-foot-high gateway constructed as a war memorial in memory of the 70,000 soldiers of the British Indian Army who lost their lives during the First World War. See the Rashtrapati Bhawan, the Viceroy's house before independence. The splendor of the Rashtrapati Bhavan is multi-dimensional. Its vast mansion and architecture are breathtaking. Few official residences match its size, vastness, and magnificence. Admire Parliament House, designed by British architects Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker. The parliament houses the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, and a library hall, and is the seat of power for the government of the largest democracy in the world. Visit the Humayun Tomb, commissioned by Humayun's wife Hamida Banu Begum in 1562 CE. It was the first garden tomb on the Indian subcontinent and is located in Nizamuddin East, close to the Dina-panah citadel that Humayun founded in 1533. Later visit the Lodhi Garden and enjoy the beautiful lush green gardens with Lodhi tombs and monuments. After your tour, you will be driven back to your hotel. Please note, some monuments close at sunset. This is a typical itinerary; it depends on the hotel location and time of the activity. Some places listed in the itinerary close in the evening after 6 PM, so we will have to skip them if we can't make it on time, depending on your pickup location. Gandhi Smriti is closed on Mondays so we will skip that on Mondays.
