Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Friday Mosque (Jama Masjid), 6 km North of Connaught Pl. across from Lal Qila, New Delhi India
Begin with pick-up at 9am from your desired place in Delhi, Gurugram (Gurgaon) or Noida and explore the country's largest mosque, built in 1656, where thousands of Muslims offer prayers. The great mosque of Old Delhi is both the largest in India, and the final architectural extravagance of Shah Jahan with a courtyard capable of holding 25,000 devotees.
Duration: 30 minutes
Pass By: Chandni Chowk, Near Red Fort, New Delhi 110006 India
Wind through the labyrinthine lanes in a rickshaw (Tricycle) which gives passengers an opportunity to see a different prospective of Chandni Chowk, which is otherwise only regarded as one of the favorite shopping avenues of Delhi.
Stop At: Red Fort (Lal Quila), Netaji Subhash Marg, New Delhi 110002 India
Red Fort (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) - Founded by Emperor Shah Jahan and surrounded by a magnificent 18m-high wall, this fort took 10 years to construct (1638–48) and is rumoured to have had the decapitated bodies of prisoners built into the foundations for luck. It once overlooked the Yamuna River, which has now shrunk to some distance away.
Later enjoy your lunch at a Local Restaurant (At your own expense)
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Raj Ghat, Mahatma Gandhi Road, New Delhi 110002 India
On the banks of the Yamuna River, this peaceful, very well maintained park contains a simple black-marble platform marking the spot where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated following his assassination in 1948. This memorial is a thought-provoking spot, inscribed with what are said to have been Gandhi’s final words, Hai Ram ('Oh, God').
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Swaminarayan Akshardham, Nh 24 Akshardham Setu, New Delhi 110092 India
Heralded by the Guinness World Record as the World’s Largest Comprehensive Hindu Temple, the complex was inaugurated on 6 November, 2005 and is breathtakingly lavish. Artisans used ancient techniques to carve the pale red sandstone into elaborate reliefs, including 20,000 deities, saints and mythical creatures. The centrepiece is a 3m-high gold statue of Bhagwan Shri Swaminarayan surrounded by more, fabulously intricate carvings.
Later after the sightseeing drop-off at your desired location in Delhi, Noida or Gurugram (Gurgaon).

The guide was a bit of the perfunctory side. He had all the lines memorised but when I asked him anything outside of the usual e.g. Whether Mahatma Gandhi's teaching were still as influential today he wasn't able to give an answer. As usual you end up in a shop where they are trying to sell you stuff. However they were not obnoxious about it.
