Delhi, Planned Properly

Delhi is many cities. A good plan shows you the best of them.

Delhi layers seven centuries on top of one another: a Sultanate tower, the Mughal walled city, and the imperial avenues of New Delhi. Seen in the wrong order, it is traffic and queues. Seen in the right one, it is the best introduction to India.

We plan Delhi around opening days, prayer times, heat and traffic, with your own luxury car, driver and licensed guide, so you spend your time at the monuments rather than on the road.

"Delhi rewards the traveller who plans the order, not just the list."

Frequently Asked Questions

Journeys
Timing
Privacy & Family
Planning

How many days do I need in Delhi?

+

One full day covers the main sights of Old and New Delhi. Two days allow a food-led Old Delhi morning, museums and Akshardham at an easier pace.

What are the main areas of Delhi to visit?

+

Old Delhi for the Jama Masjid, Red Fort and Chandni Chowk; New Delhi for India Gate and the Lutyens-designed government district; South Delhi for Humayun’s Tomb and Qutub Minar.

Can I combine Delhi with the Taj Mahal?

+

Yes. Many guests spend one day in Delhi and a second day in Agra, or take a same-day Taj Mahal journey from Delhi. We can also continue to Jaipur on the Golden Triangle.

What is the best time to visit Delhi?

+

October to March is the most comfortable. April to June is very hot, and July to September is monsoon. Air quality can be poorer from November to January, so tell us if you are sensitive.

Which Delhi sights are closed on Mondays?

+

The Red Fort and Lotus Temple are closed on Mondays, as are some museums and Akshardham. Humayun’s Tomb and Qutub Minar are open daily, and we plan the day around the closures.

Is Delhi safe for tourists?

+

Delhi is a large, busy city. With a private luxury car, driver and licensed guide you avoid the usual touts and unrequested shopping stops. Keep valuables close in crowded lanes, as in any big city.

Are your Delhi tours private?

+

Yes. Every journey has your own luxury car, driver and licensed guide. Nothing is shared with other travellers.

What should I wear at religious sites?

+

Cover shoulders and knees at the Jama Masjid and Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, with a head covering at the gurudwara. Shoes that slip off easily are helpful.

Is it suitable for children and older travellers?

+

Yes, with the right pace. Tell us about young children or any mobility needs and we will adjust the stops, timing and vehicle.

Can the itinerary be customised?

+

Completely. The journeys here are starting points. Tell us your dates, interests and pace, and we will shape the day around you.
