Private Half Day City Tour Of Old Delhi

Immerse yourself in the real India with this atmospheric half-day tour of Old Delhi, the heart of this teeming metropolis. Visit some of the top sights and attractions such as the Red Fort, the majestic Jama Mosque and the Gandhi memorial. This fascinating tour has it all: history, spirituality, culture and architecture. Explore the Red Fort, a Unesco World Heritage Site that dates back to 1648 at the peak of the Mughal Empire. Considered one of the best examples of Mughal architecture, it stands proudly over the banks of the River Yamuna, creating a stunning illustration of spirituality and splendour. Admire the epic Lahore Gate and behold the beauty of the intricate stonework in the Hall of Private Audiences, where emperors met visiting dignitaries, while the former women’s quarters of the Rang Mahal boast a gilded ceiling and marble pool. Continue to the spectacular Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India, built from, red sandstone and glistening white marble. Feel authentic India and inhale the harmony of its ancient splendour. Come face to face with ordinary Indians as they stream in and out; the courtyard is capable of holding 25,000 worshippers. Standout features include the two 40-metre-high minarets made from strips of red sandstone and white marble. Revel in the hustle and bustle of the nearby bazaar and maybe treat yourself to a souvenir. Afterwards, visit the Raj Ghat, a simple black marble memorial to Mahatma Gandhi set among carefully tended lawns.
