Itinerary

Expand all

Day 1: The Soul of Old Delhi (Shahjahanabad)

Morning: Spiritual Grandeur at Jama Masjid

Your first day begins in the heart of the 17th-century city built by Emperor Shah Jahan. Start at Jama Masjid. As you climb the steep stairs, the noise of the city begins to fade, replaced by the vastness of the courtyard that can hold 25,000 worshippers.

Local Tip: Dress modestly. Shoulders and knees must be covered. You can rent robes at the entrance for a small fee.

Mid-Morning: Rickshaw Ride through Chandni Chowk

From the mosque, your guide will lead you to a bicycle rickshaw. This is the quintessential Old Delhi experience. You will dive into the narrow lanes of Chandni Chowk, specifically Khari Baoli, Asia’s largest wholesale spice market. The air here is pungent with chili and turmeric—it’s a sensory explosion that defines the 2-Day Old and New Delhi Guided Tour.

Afternoon: The Red Fort and Raj Ghat

After a traditional lunch of Paranthas (stuffed flatbreads) in the famous Paranthe Wali Gali, head to the Red Fort (Lal Qila). This massive fortress-palace represents the pinnacle of Mughal creativity. Spend your time exploring the Diwan-i-Aam (Hall of Public Audience) and the ornate marble palaces.

To end the afternoon on a reflective note, visit Raj Ghat, the memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi. The transition from the opulent fort to this simple, black marble platform surrounded by greenery offers a poignant look at India’s path to independence.

Day 2: The Elegance of New Delhi (Lutyens’ Delhi)

Morning: The Garden Tomb of Humayun

Start your second day at Humayun’s Tomb. Built in the mid-16th century, this was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent. The symmetry of the Charbagh (four-quadrant) gardens and the soaring dome provide a stark, peaceful contrast to the bustle of the previous day. It is often cited by travelers as their favorite spot in the city due to its incredible preservation and photogenic angles.

Mid-Day: The Imperial Corridor and India Gate

Next, your private Delhi city guide will take you through the wide avenues of Lutyens' Delhi. You will drive past the Rashtrapati Bhavan (President's House) and the Parliament House. A stop at India Gate is a must. This 42-meter-high arch commemorates Indian soldiers who died in World War I. It is the social hub of New Delhi, where you’ll see families enjoying ice cream and vendors selling colorful toys.

Afternoon: Qutub Minar and the Lotus Temple

Head south to the Qutub Minar complex. This UNESCO site dates back to the 12th century and showcases the dawn of Indo-Islamic architecture. Don't miss the Iron Pillar, which has stood for over 1,500 years without rusting—a testament to ancient Indian metallurgy.

Finally, visit the Lotus Temple. This Baháʼí House of Worship is famous for its flower-like shape and is open to people of all faiths. The interior is a place of absolute silence, offering a moment of Zen before you conclude your tour.

Frequently asked questions

Is 2 days enough to see Delhi?

While you could spend a week in Delhi, 2 days is the perfect amount of time to see the "Big Seven" monuments and experience the contrast between Old and New Delhi. It is the most popular duration for travelers heading to the Golden Triangle (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur).

Is it safe for solo female travelers?

Yes, especially when booking a 2-Day Old and New Delhi Guided Tour. Having a local guide provides an extra layer of security, helps avoid unwanted attention in crowded markets, and ensures you use reputable transport.

Can I customize the itinerary?

Absolutely. Most guided tours allow flexibility. If you are a foodie, you can swap a monument for a dedicated street food crawl. If you love shopping, you can spend more time at Dilli Haat or Khan Market.

What is the average cost of a guided tour?

Prices vary based on luxury level. A private tour with an AC car, driver, and licensed guide typically ranges from $60 to $150 USD per day for a small group, excluding monument entrance fees.

      Verified Outstanding experience in both Varanasi and Agra!
We had an unforgettable journey through Varanasi and Agra thanks to our guide. At the Taj Mahal, their deep knowledge of Mughal architecture and history brought the monument to life, and they expertly guided us away from the heavy crowds to get the best views and photos. In Varanasi, they navigated the bustling alleys and ghats seamlessly, explaining the spiritual significance of the Ganga Aarti and morning boat ride with great care and respect. Punctual, professional, and genuinely attentive throughout. Highly recommended to anyone visiting North India!

     Verified Don’t just go to the Taj Mahal…EXPERIENCE it!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolutely Incredible Day in Agra! Our experience with India Bon Voyage was truly unforgettable, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Our day began with Jitendra picking us up from our hotel before sunrise so we could experience the Taj Mahal at sunrise. Seeing the Taj Mahal in that beautiful morning light was absolutely breathtaking. Afterward, he took us back to our hotel so we could relax and enjoy breakfast before picking us up again to continue our day. Jitendra was an incredible guide. He was knowledgeable, professional, personable, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. He answered every question we had and shared fascinating facts and stories that made the Taj Mahal come alive. He even pointed out some of the Taj Mahal’s amazing optical illusions and architectural details that we would have completely missed on our own. From there, we visited Agra Fort, the Baby Taj, and several really interesting local shops. One thing that really stood out to me was how attentive Jitendra was without ever being intrusive. When we wanted to wander around on our own, he stayed nearby in case we needed anything. That gave us the freedom to explore while still knowing we had someone looking out for us. Lunch at the beautiful five-star hotel was also fantastic and was such a wonderful addition to the day. But the perfect ending was still to come. At dusk, Jitendra took us to a beautiful viewing spot where we could watch the Taj Mahal as the changing light seemed to transform its color. It was absolutely magical and something I will never forget. Jitendra didn’t just show us the Taj Mahal—he helped us experience it. His knowledge, kindness, professionalism, humor, and genuine care made the entire day feel effortless and special. If you’re visiting Agra, do yourself a favor and book with India Bon Voyage. Having Jitendra as our guide made an already incredible place even more meaningful. We left with unforgettable memories, incredible photos, and a much deeper appreciation for the history and beauty of the Taj Mahal. India Bon Voyage and Jitendra deserve every one of these five stars! 🇮🇳❤️✨ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly, highly recommended!

     Verified TAJ MAHAL
We had a wonderful experience. Reading about Taj Mahal does not compare to being there and getting the information and the intricate details. Jitu from India Bonvoyage was a fantastic guide, gave us much information on the history. I loved my experience and the wonderful love story of Mughal Shah Jahn and Mumtaj Mahal!
