Immerse yourself in the ancient history and culture of India on this private tour of Delhi. Discover emblematic places such as Ghandi’s tomb and the Red Fort!
Description
After picking you up from your hotel, we'll go see the walled city of ancient Delhi. Inside this fortified area, we'll visit the imposing Jama Masjid mosque: one of the largest in India, with domes and minarets visible from many parts of the city!
The tour then continues, admiring the famous Red Fort. This 17th-century palace complex, a World Heritage Site, was commissioned by Shah Jahan I, the emperor of the Mughal Dynasty, who also built Agra's Taj Mahal.
From the Red Fort, we'll begin a rickshaw ride, which will take us to the famous Chandni Chowk Bazaar, the Raj Ghat memorial, and Ghandi's tomb. Here, we'll remember some of the history of this most famous of Indians, a leader in the pacifist movement, as we visit the important monument.
In the afternoon, after having had some free time to eat, we'll head to New Delhi to see the Qutab Minar, the largest brick-built minaret in the world. Did you know that it was only constructed in order to surpass another tower in Afghanistan, which until then was the tallest?
Finally, we'll also admire the architecture of the Gates of India, the national parliament and the presidential palace, before finally heading back to your hotel in Delhi.
