Overview
Explore two of Delhi’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites on a private heritage tour focused on Humayun’s Tomb and the Qutub Minar complex. This five- to six-hour experience suits travellers who want time for architecture, garden settings and historical context without adding the crowded lanes of Old Delhi to the same outing.
At Humayun’s Tomb, discover the Mughal garden-tomb tradition through its red sandstone buildings, marble details and formal landscape. The suggested route then continues south to Mehrauli, where the Qutub Minar complex brings together a soaring minaret, historic mosque remains and the Iron Pillar. Visits are at ground level; climbing the minaret is not part of the experience.
A private vehicle and English-speaking guide can be arranged as part of your quotation. Allow time for the drive between sites, security checks and walking on stone paths. The order may change with pickup location, traffic, weather and site access. Entrance tickets must be specifically included in your quote.
Request a personalised quote with your date, nationality, party size and hotel area. Availability, transport, guide arrangements, admission and the final route are confirmed in writing before booking.
