The experience
The tour starts with pickup from your hotel and moves through New Delhi's major landmarks in a single loop. You'll stand at India Gate, the 1931 war memorial designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens that anchors the city center, then move to Agrasen Ki Baoli, a 60-meter step well near Connaught Place that the Archaeological Survey of India has protected as a historical monument. Humayun's Tomb comes next: a garden-tomb commissioned in 1562 by Humayun's wife and the first of its kind on the Indian subcontinent, sitting in Nizamuddin East. The guide provides context on each site's history and architecture as you move between them.
Lodhi Gardens, spread across 90 acres, holds four separate tombs and monuments within its grounds. Gandhi Smriti, where Mahatma Gandhi spent his final days, rounds out the five main stops. The route adjusts based on your hotel location and how much time you have before a connecting flight. This is built for travelers who land in Delhi and need to see the essentials without renting a car or negotiating with drivers at each stop. The guide is English-speaking and the vehicle is air-conditioned, which matters in Delhi's heat.
You decide at checkout whether to add entrance fees. Without them, you see the exteriors and hear the history. With them, you walk inside the monuments that charge admission. Either way, the transport and the guide's time are included. If your hotel isn't on the standard list, you enter it manually at checkout. If you're arriving at the airport, provide your flight details so the driver can track your landing.
Top questions
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Infant (under 3): free.
How much time do I actually spend at each monument on this tour?
The tour runs 4 hours total and covers five main stops, so time at each site depends on how many you visit and your hotel's location. The guide adjusts the pace based on your interests and how much daylight or time before your flight you have. This is a private tour, so the schedule is yours to shape.
What is Humayun's Tomb and why is it on the tour?
Humayun's Tomb is a 16th-century garden-tomb in Nizamuddin East, commissioned by Humayun's wife in 1562 and designed by a Persian architect. It was the first garden-tomb built on the Indian subcontinent and is considered a masterpiece of Mughal architecture, which is why it's a centerpiece of any Delhi tour.
Do I have to pay entrance fees, or can I do the tour without them?
You choose at checkout: the tour without entrance fees lets you see the exteriors and hear the history from your guide. The tour with entrance fees includes admission to the monuments that charge it. Either way, transport and the guide are included.
What if my hotel isn't listed when I book?
At checkout, click "My Hotel Is Not Listed" and enter your hotel name manually. If you're being picked up from the airport, provide your flight details so the driver can track your landing and meet you at arrivals.
Can I customize which monuments we visit?
Yes. This is a private tour, so the route can be adjusted based on your interests, hotel location and how much time you have. Let the operator know your preferences when you book.
Is this tour accessible if I use a wheelchair?
The transportation and some facilities are wheelchair accessible, though not every monument may be fully accessible for entry. Confirm your specific needs when booking so the guide can plan the route accordingly.
