Description:

For many, Delhi's most captivating part is its 300-year-old walled city, built by the powerful Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. See this breathtaking orchestra of sights and sounds and visit the imposing Red Fort, mighty Jama Masjid mosque, vibrant Chandani Chowk market, and Gandhi's solemn memorial.

Reveal the secrets of the city's heart as you join your private guide on a tour through this vivid district of the Indian capital. “Mughal Delhi”, as it`s often referred to, is home to a captivating mix of attractions.

Admire the splendor of the 17th-century Red Fort, protected by dramatic 59-foot (18-m) walls. The complex is a magnificent display of marble palaces, audience chambers, and charmingly landscaped gardens.

Make sure you don't miss India's largest mosque, the Jama Masjid, with its grand minarets. Be amazed by the sheer size of this holy place, which can hold up to 25,000 people at once. From here, stroll to the exuberant bazaar of Chandni Chowk for a glimpse into the fascinating bustle of this lively market.

Before returning to your hotel, stop at Raj Ghat on the banks of the Yamuna River to see the simple black marble platform marking the spot where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated after his assassination.
