Today enjoy a full day tour of Old and New Delhi.

Greet the morning of your first day in what is the world’s largest and most vibrant democracy. As you embark on your journey through this land you will experience the sights and sounds of what is India.

Old Delhi was a walled city when Mughal Emperor Shah Jehan switched the Mughal capital from Agra to Delhi in 1650. Shah Jehan possessing an exquisite talent, especially in architecture, created the seventh city on this spot and in the process brought about Delhi’s glorious renaissance. Your visit will include a drive past Red Fort, Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India; and Chandni Chowk, the bustling and colourful market located in the old city.

To show you the contrast of the old with the new, we will return to New Delhi by the Delhi Metro. This is a marvel of modern engineering to have been built in one of the most crowded parts of India. It is a perfect example of how India is changing while still holding onto its past.

New Delhi was designed and built by the British in the 1920′s – it’s a city of wide boulevards impressive Government buildings, green parks and gardens. Your drive takes you along the ceremonial avenue, Rajpath, past the imposing India Gate and Parliament House. You will visit two of Delhi’s ancient monuments located within New Delhi, Humayun’s Tomb and Qutub Minar.
