We added a couple of optional activities beyond Humayun's Tomb and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Red Fort alone was worth the trip, but combined with Hauz Khas Village this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Delhi is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Purana Qila. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

Our trip to Delhi was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to National Zoological Park was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.
