You will experience the magic of an awakening mega-city and see some of Delhi's most famous monuments, such as the India Gate. You will also discover some of the best kept secret spots in town and head to the famous Bengali Sweet House for breakfast.

The Raj tour is a truly breath-taking ride down Delhi’s more recent history. Starting in the labyrinth of narrow backlanes of Old Delhi, passing through quaint old ‘socialist-style’ quarters of government employees and almost magically landing in the midst of a spectacular view of the Presidential Palace and India Gate encircled by spotless clean, tree-lined wide roads, the Raj Tour is a very stimulating and comprehensive catalogue of the lives of people who make this great capital today.
