After breakfast at the hotel start with a visit to Old Delhi. The tour will begin with a visit to Raj Ghat, a simple memorial to Mahatma Gandhi; drive past the Red Fort. The magnificent Red Fort, overlooking the river Jamuna was built during the years 1638 - 48 when the Mughal Empire was at its peak. The tour continues to Jama Masjid, one of Asia’s largest mosques which is viewed from the outside. People stream in and out of the mosque continuously and the presence of a nearby bazaar means that the area is rarely quiet. Enjoy a rickshaw ride through the busy old Delhi market to experience the surroundings and also visit to Spice market. After visiting Old Delhi, you will be driven to New Delhi, which reflects the legacy the British left behind. The tour to Imperial Delhi will include a visit to the Qutub Minar, which is the tallest stone tower in India. The Qutub Minar was started in 1199 AD by Qutub-ud-Din Aibak and was completed by the sultan's successor and son-in-law, Iltutmish. The Qutub Minar is still the highest stone tower and one of the finest Islamic structures ever raised in India.

Replete with gateways, pillared halls, mosques, marble trellises and geometric gardens; the Fort represents Mughal architecture at its peak. In the evening proceed to visit the Taj Mahal (closed on Friday) during sunset. Built by Shah Jahan in 1630 for his queen Mumtaz Mahal to enshrine her mortal remains. Sunrise is the best time to visit the Taj Mahal.

For 14 years Fatehpur Sikri was Akbar’s capital until a lack of water forced the city to be abandoned.
