Private Old and New Delhi Full Day City Tour

A chauffeur will pick you up from New Delhi Airport or another desired location in New Delhi/Gurgaon and proceed with the full day tour of New Delhi and Old Delhi. The Red Fort is a 17th century fort complex constructed by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, also known as Lal Qila. In the walled city of Old Delhi (presently) the fort was the palace for Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan’s new capital, Shahjahanabad. It lies along the Yamuna River which surrounds most of its walls. The Red Fort stands as a testimony to enormous power and pomp of Mughal Emperors.

Later, proceed to visit Jama Masjid, a beautiful pocket of calm at the heart of Old Delhi’s mayhem. India’s largest mosque is built on a 10 meter elevation, towering above the surrounding hubbub. It can hold a mind blowing 25000 people. The marble and red-sandstone “Friday Mosque” was Shah Jahan’s final architectural triumph, built between 1644 and 1658. Continue visiting Raj Ghat, the place where the father of the nation “Mahatma Gandhi” was cremated. After that, proceed to visit Qutub Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Qutub Minar is an excellent example of Afghan architecture constructed with marble and red-sandstone and stands 75 meters tall.

Continue your sightseeing by visiting one more UNESCO World Heritage Listed Site – Humayun’s Tomb. This tomb was the tomb of second Mughal King “Humayun”. Following your time there, visit Rashtrapati Bhawan and India Gate. India Gate Memorial was built in 1931 to commemorate the Indian Soldiers. Later, you will be dropped off at the New Delhi Airport or another desired location in New Delhi/Gurgaon.
