★★★★★

“Five days with nothing rushed. Arriving a day early to settle into Delhi set the whole trip up beautifully, and a full day across Old and New Delhi — the rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk especially — was wonderful. The Taj at sunrise on Day 3 was everything we’d hoped for. Faultless logistics throughout.”

“Five days was just right — never rushed. A whole day to explore Jaipur properly, from Amber Fort to the Jal Mahal, made all the difference, and breaking the drive to Jaipur at the Abhaneri step well was a lovely surprise. Our guides were exceptional in every city. Couldn’t recommend it more.”

Frequently Asked Questions

The 5-day tour is the most relaxed way to see the Golden Triangle. You arrive and settle into Delhi on Day 1, then have a full dedicated day across Old and New Delhi on Day 2 before driving to Agra. Day 3 is the Taj Mahal at sunrise, then on to Jaipur via the Abhaneri step well; Day 4 is a full unhurried day in Jaipur — Amber Fort, Panna Meena Ka Kund, City Palace, Jantar Mantar, Hawa Mahal and Jal Mahal — before you drive back to Delhi on Day 5. No day feels rushed.

Hotels are not included in the base price but can be arranged. We work with vetted 3-star, 4-star and 5-star properties in both Agra and Jaipur. Share your preference when enquiring and we’ll include hotel options in your quote. Agra 5-star options include properties with direct Taj Mahal views from the room.

Entry fees are not included in the base tour price and are paid on-site. Your guide will tell you exactly what each monument costs before you enter — there are no surprises. Entry fee costs for foreign nationals are available from us on request.

October to March — cool, dry and clear across all three cities. November to February is the prime season. April to June is hot (Delhi can reach 45°C) but manageable in an AC car. July to September (monsoon) brings rain but also lush greenery and thinner crowds at the monuments.

Absolutely — we build all Golden Triangle tours to your preferences. Common additions include Fatehpur Sikri en route to Agra, Mehtab Bagh (the sunset garden opposite the Taj), Nahargarh Fort in Jaipur, or extra time at any site. Just mention it when you enquire.

The Taj Mahal is closed every Friday. We always confirm your travel dates avoid a Friday before building the itinerary — this is handled automatically when you book with us.
