The experience
Six days means you move through three cities without rushing the stops. Day one stays in Delhi, where you start with a tuk-tuk ride through Chandni Chowk's crowded bazaars, then walk the red sandstone courtyard of Jama Masjid (built in 1656 with 5,000 workers), visit the spice market at Khari Baoli, and see the Red Fort's 2-kilometer wall. The afternoon takes in India Gate, Parliament House, the Presidential Palace, and your choice of Humayun's Tomb or Swaminarayan Akshardham temple before ending at the Lotus Temple. Days two and three move you to Agra for the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, then to Jaipur to see the Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar (the world's largest stone sundial), City Palace, and Jal Mahal floating on Man Sagar Lake. Days four through six are built around Ranthambore National Park, where you take morning and evening safari drives through the 400-square-kilometer reserve to look for tigers in their natural habitat.
The private car and driver stay with you the whole time, which means no switching vehicles or waiting for group departures. Your guide speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, German, Mandarin or Japanese depending on what you select. Pickup happens between 8 and 10 a.m. from anywhere in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad or Faridabad. The evening drop-off goes to your choice of location in the same areas. Water bottles and umbrellas come with you each day.
Four purchase options let you choose your hotel tier and whether entry fees are bundled in or paid separately. The Tiger Safari options include accommodation at either a 3-star or 4-star property. The other two options (Tour Safari With Ticket and Tour + Guide + Tiger Safari) let you pick your own lodging. All options cover the private car, driver, guide, parking, tolls, fuel and taxes. If you pick the option that includes entrance fees, tickets to all monuments and parks are already paid. Otherwise, you arrange those at each site.
Top questions
What languages is the tour guided in?
Live guide in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Japanese.
What's the difference between the four purchase options for this 6-day tour?
The Tour Tiger Safari options include either a 3-star or 4-star hotel for your nights. Tour Safari With Ticket and Tour + Guide + Tiger Safari let you book your own accommodation. The "With Ticket" option bundles all monument and park entry fees. The others don't. All four include the private car, driver, guide and meals as stated in your chosen option.
Do I need to arrange my own hotel, or does the tour include accommodation?
Two of the four options (Tour Tiger Safari 3-Star Hotel and Tour Tiger Safari 4-Star Hotel) include accommodation at the hotel tier you choose. The other two options don't include lodging, so you book your own hotel in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. All options cover transport between cities by private car.
What happens during the Ranthambore National Park days?
You take a morning safari drive and an evening safari drive through the 400-square-kilometer park, where the reserve is known for tiger sightings. The park sits at the junction of the Aravali and Vindhya hill ranges near Sawai Madhopur, about 13.5 kilometers away. Tigers here are used to being observed, and the numerous water bodies scattered across the park draw wildlife during the day.
What do I see on the first day in Delhi?
Day one covers Old Delhi and New Delhi in one loop. You ride through Chandni Chowk's bazaars by tuk-tuk, visit Jama Masjid and the spice market at Khari Baoli, walk the Red Fort, then move to New Delhi to see India Gate, Parliament House, the Presidential Palace, and either Humayun's Tomb or Swaminarayan Akshardham temple. The day ends at the Lotus Temple.
Is the Taj Mahal included in all the purchase options?
The Taj Mahal is on the itinerary for all options. If you choose an option that includes entrance fees (Tour Safari With Ticket or Tour Tiger Safari options), the Taj Mahal ticket is paid. If you choose an option without entrance fees bundled, you pay the Taj Mahal entry fee when you arrive in Agra.
