Trip Overview

Depart from Dublin to Delhi.

Your private driver will be waiting to transfer you to your luxury accommodation in the heart of New Delhi, where you will spend two nights. From the winding lanes of Chandni Chowk to the open boulevards of the colonial era and on to the fast-paced skyscrapers of Gurgaon, Delhi embraces its past and its future.

Discover Old and New Delhi on a guided private tour.

Take a rickshaw ride through the narrow winding streets of colourful Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest markets in New Delhi. You’ll visit landmarks like the Red Fort, India Gate, Presidential Palace, Qutab Minar and Humayun’s Tombs.

Transfer to Agra, via express train.

Arrive in Agra and spend a night on the banks of the Yamuna River. After settling into your hotel, visit Agra Fort and Mehtab Bagh Gardens, an excellent spot for splendid views of the Taj Mahal.

Described by Rudyard Kipling at “the embodiment of all things pure”, it is considered one of the world’s most beautiful buildings. With your guide, admire the rosy pink hues of the landmark and wander through the ornamental gardens that are especially peaceful at sunrise.
