About this trip
Ten days across Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and Shimla, covering the Golden Triangle's Mughal and Rajput landmarks alongside a detour into the hills on the old toy train.
This is a private, fully guided tour, so the pace is set around you rather than a fixed group, with a guide walking you through each city's history in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur before the route climbs to Shimla for cooler air, colonial architecture and mountain views.
It suits families or small private parties who want the classic India sights done properly, with someone on hand throughout to explain what you're looking at.
What you'll do
- Guided tour of Delhi's India Gate, Jama Masjid, Red Fort, Humayun's Tomb and Qutub Minar Complex

Worth it if you want iconic Golden Triangle sights plus Himalayan scenery with proper comfort. Think twice if you need flexibility or resent early starts on packed itineraries.
- Toy Train ride genuinely delivers: Himalayan views, nostalgic charm, open windows, cool breeze, forests.
- Guides are knowledgeable and attentive; one reviewer specifically praised ongoing contact from their travel adviser.
- Ten days covering five cities means long travel days between Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and Shimla back-to-back.
- Luxury hotels, private car and driver throughout, comfortable transport; legitimately well-organized logistics.
