What’s Included and How It’s Structured
This tour is designed for travelers who want a luxurious yet practical way to experience the highlights of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. Over 3 days, you’ll explore the most famous landmarks, with plenty of time for photos, strolling, and soaking in the atmosphere. The private nature of the tour means you won’t be stuck with strangers, and the guides are fluent in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, German, Italian, and French, ensuring clear communication.
Day 1: Delving into Delhi’s Contrasts
Your adventure begins at Delhi’s Terminal 3 airport, where your driver greets you warmly. The day is packed with sightseeing in Old and New Delhi. We loved the way the guide explained the significance of sites like Jama Masjid and Humayun’s Tomb—each spot offers a window into India’s past and present.
Highlights include Chandni Chowk Market—a bustling bazaar where you can observe local life—and the Lotus Temple, whose petal-shaped design is a peaceful spot for reflection. The inclusion of India Gate adds a sense of history, and the drive to Agra via the express highway ensures a smooth journey, saving time compared to local roads.
The evening concludes with check-in at your hotel in Agra. Hotels in Agra generally offer good comfort, and being centrally located helps you relax after a busy day.
Day 2: From the Taj Mahal to Jaipur
Getting up early to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise is a clear highlight—this quiet, golden-lit moment is worth the early alarm. Travelers agree that the view of the monument shimmering in the morning light is unforgettable.
Post-breakfast, the tour visits Agra Fort and the Baby Taj (I’timad-ud-Daulah), both rich with intricate architecture and history. We appreciated the guide’s insights into Mughal history, which added depth to the experience.
Driving from Agra to Jaipur takes approximately six hours, with interesting stops at Fatehpur Sikri—a UNESCO World Heritage site—and Abhaneri Stepwells. These stops break up the journey and provide a taste of rural Rajasthan life, which many travelers find authentic and enlightening. The visit to the village area around Abhaneri offers a glimpse into local customs and architecture.
Arriving in Jaipur in the evening, you’ll check into your hotel, where you can relax or explore the local markets. The optional walking or leisure time is a nice touch, allowing travelers to unwind after a long drive.

The final day begins with a visit to Amber Fort, perched atop a hill. The views from the ramparts overlooking the city are spectacular and often described as a favorite part of the trip. Inside, the panna Meena ka Kund stepwell and the Water Palace provide beautiful photo opportunities.
The tour includes visits to the City Palace with its palatial architecture and the Jantar Mantar, a UNESCO-listed astronomical observatory. We loved the Hawa Mahal, with its honeycomb façade—perfect for photos and soaking in Jaipur’s unique character.
In the late afternoon, the driver will take you back to Delhi, where your journey concludes. The early evening arrival in Delhi allows for a relaxed dinner or some last-minute sightseeing if your schedule permits.
