About This Journey
Delhi for First-Timers — Luxury
If Delhi is your first stop in India, this three-day trip is built to ease you in rather than throw the whole city at you at once. The same route as our Delhi city break — Mughal landmarks on arrival, Old Delhi on foot, then New Delhi's wide avenues — but paced and explained for someone who hasn't done this before.
A private driver-guide stays with you the whole way, handling the logistics that trip up first-time visitors most: traffic, navigation, where it's safe to walk and eat. You get Delhi's two very different faces, Old and New, with someone alongside to make sense of what you're seeing rather than leaving you to work it out from a guidebook.
- 01
A guide who explains as you go
Your driver-guide is with you throughout, not just for transfers — useful on day two's walk through Shahjahanabad, where context turns a crowded lane into a story.
- 02
Old Delhi and New Delhi, without the culture-shock all at once
The route deliberately separates the two: a full day in the old walled city, then a full day in the ordered avenues of Lutyens' capital, so the contrast lands as a story rather than a jolt.
- 03
A comfortable landing point
The luxury package is based at The Imperial New Delhi and the premium package at Haveli Dharampura — both a reliable, well-run base to return to after a full day of new sights.

Day 2 · Delhi
Old Delhi in Depth — Shahjahanabad on Foot
A whole day inside the walled city Shah Jahan built. The Jama Masjid first, then a long walk through the lanes: the spice market at Khari Baoli, the silver and wedding-card bazaars, a working Jain temple with a bird hospital, and the crumbling merchant havelis. Lunch is a Mughlai thali at a decades-old kitchen near the mosque. The afternoon takes in the Red Fort. It is the day that makes sense of the rest of Delhi.

Arrival in Delhi — Mughal Landmarks
A private airport pickup in Delhi, then a first afternoon among the city's Mughal landmarks. Humayun's Tomb, finished in 1570, was the first great garden tomb built in India. Its design was later echoed in the Taj Mahal. Qutub Minar rises more than 70 metres and dates from the 12th century. It is the tallest brick minaret in the world. Old Delhi adds the Red Fort and the broad steps of the Jama Masjid. The evening is free before the drive to Rajasthan.

New Delhi — Lutyens' Capital & the Garden Tombs
A calmer day in the green, planned half of the city. The morning is the imperial layout: the Kartavya Path axis, India Gate, and the sandstone Secretariat buildings on Raisina Hill, with a drive past the President's house. Then Humayun's Tomb, the sixteenth-century garden-tomb that led to the Taj. The afternoon is the Lodhi Garden, walking among the fifteenth-century domes, and time in Khan Market. An easy, shaded day.

Before You Book
Is this a good first trip to India, or just to Delhi?
It's built specifically as a first trip. The private guide, the paced route and the two contrasting halves of the city are all chosen to make Delhi approachable before you go further into India.
What should we know before visiting Old Delhi's markets for the first time?
They're crowded and best walked, not driven. Your guide will set the pace and route on day two so the density feels manageable rather than overwhelming.
