About the The Classic Golden Triangle Tour

The Classic Golden Triangle is the most popular first trip to India, and for good reason. In just 7 days and 6 nights you visit the country's three most famous cities – Delhi, Agra and Jaipur – linked by comfortable drives of 4–5 hours in a private air-conditioned car with your own driver.

You will walk through the bustling lanes of Old Delhi, stand in front of the Taj Mahal at sunset, explore the abandoned Mughal capital of Fatehpur Sikri and climb to the hilltop Amber Fort above the "Pink City". Every city comes with a local English-speaking guide who brings the stories of emperors, maharajas and artisans to life.

The price of $950 per person already includes 3-star hotels, daily breakfast, all monument entrance fees and taxes, so there are no surprises on the road. It is the perfect blend of history, architecture and colourful street life for anyone discovering India for the first time.
