Delhi City Tour
Following breakfast at your hotel, you'll embark on a fascinating exploration of some of Delhi's most iconic landmarks and historical sites. Begin with a visit to Qutub Minar, a towering masterpiece of intricate Indo-Islamic architecture. Founded by the Tomar Rajputs in the 12th century, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is the tallest brick minaret in the world and offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Delhi Sultanate.
Next, you can admire the grandeur of the Red Fort, which served as the primary residence of the Mughal emperors for centuries. Wander through its vast courtyards and marvel at the beautiful architecture that combines Persian and indigenous Indian styles. You'll then continue to Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in India, which is known for its stunning domes and expansive courtyard, which offers a serene space to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
In the afternoon, you'll visit the Lotus Temple, a Bahá'í House of Worship that boasts unique lotus-shaped architecture and a tranquil atmosphere. This modern architectural marvel invites people of all faiths to meditate and find peace amid its serene surroundings. Your tour of Delhi will conclude with a visit to Raj Ghat, a memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi, where you can pay homage to the Father of the Nation. This simple yet profound memorial lies amongst lush gardens, offering a quiet space for reflecting on Gandhi's life and legacy.

Jaipur City Tour & Culinary Tour
After breakfast, you'll meet with your driver-guide and enjoy a scenic morning drive to Jaipur, often referred to as the 'Pink City' for its distinctly coloured buildings. After checking into your Jaipur hotel, you'll head out to discover the highlights of this beautiful Rajasthani city. The drive to Jaipur will last approximately 5 hrs.
Your first stop is at Amer Fort, a stunning example of Rajput architecture that sits perched atop the Aravalli hills.

Explore the majestic halls, ornate palaces and picturesque gardens, all of which reflect the opulence of Rajasthan's royal heritage.
Next, you'll enjoy a scenic drive past the Hawa Mahal, the 'Palace of Winds'. This distinct five-storey structure, adorned with fine latticework and small windows, was originally designed to allow royal ladies to observe street festivals while remaining unseen. In the afternoon, your cultural tour continues with a visit to the City Palace, a splendid complex that melds traditional Rajasthani and Mughal architectural styles, housing museums that display royal artefacts, textiles and historical exhibitions.
Later in the evening, you'll embark on a delectable culinary journey through Jaipur's bustling streets, sampling an array of authentic Rajasthani delicacies.

Before you depart Jaipur, you'll start the morning with a Pink Rickshaw City Tour, which offers a unique way to explore Jaipur's vibrant streets as you weave through buzzing markets and notable historic sites. Led by local female drivers, this rollicking rickshaw tour provides an immersive cultural experience and an opportunity to support a community-driven initiative.
Afterwards, you'll set off on a picturesque drive to the city of Agra, renowned for its Mughal-era architecture and home to some of India's most iconic monuments. As you approach Agra, you'll sense the history that permeates the city's essence, where every corner echoes tales of the Mughal Empire's architectural brilliance and formidable power. The scenic drive from Jaipur to Agra will take approximately 4hrs.
Arriving in Agra, your afternoon will be dedicated to exploring the incredible Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the finest examples of Mughal architecture and grandeur. This imposing red sandstone fortress was once the main residence of the Mughal emperors, containing a labyrinth of palaces, mosques and courtyards within its seemingly impenetrable walls. As you stroll through its elaborate halls and gardens, you'll feel yourself transported back to an era of opulence and power that once defined this great empire which, from the late-16th century through the late-17th century, is said to have been the richest and most powerful empire in the world.

Taj Mahal & Departure
Your final morning in India will see you visit what is unquestionably the country's most iconic monument: the incredible Taj Mahal.
You'll arrive at the gates just before dawn, the first rays of sunlight piercing through the ethereal morning mist as this magnificent structure gradually emerges, its marble façade gleaming gold. This is the Taj Mahal at its most magical and serene, when the peace of morning allows your senses simply to focus on this breathtaking feat of architecture. As the sun climbs higher, the monument's intricate details - delicate carvings, inlaid gemstones and symmetrical perfection - become more pronounced, creating a visual spectacle that is nothing short of mesmerising.
The reflection of the Taj Mahal in the calm, mirror-like waters of the surrounding ponds form a sense of tranquilly and near-surrealness.
After experiencing the wonder of the Taj Mahal, you'll return to your hotel for breakfast, before collecting your belongings and transferring to the airport in Delhi by private vehicle, a journey of approximately 3hrs 30 mins.
