One city day.
A proper arrival rest.
After the overnight arrival, make rest part of the Delhi plan. A private Old and New Delhi tour then gives the sightseeing day its shape before the Agra train. If fatigue or the timetable makes that sequence too tight, another Delhi night is a useful adjustment.
This is one sightseeing day after an overnight arrival, with a hotel room arranged for that early-morning rest. The tour finishes at the station for the onward train. Add another Delhi night if arrival fatigue or your actual timetable makes that too rushed.

Keep the tour realistic after the overnight flight, and protect the onward railway connection.
- Hotel transfer and a room ready on arrivalThe trip used Holiday Inn near Delhi Airport. Arrange the room for the arrival night; an early-morning arrival does not guarantee immediate access on a same-day booking.
- Meet your driver and guideKeeper Landwey was the tour provider in the trip. Confirm your current pickup, vehicle capacity, included entry and final drop-off.
- Choose an Old Delhi walk or rickshaw segmentAgree the specific lanes and stops with your guide. Choose the exact lanes and sights with the guide before setting out.
- Choose the New Delhi portionUse the remaining time for your agreed stops and lunch. India Gate or a chosen heritage visit are possible options, rather than a claim that every major monument fits.
- Luggage and the station handoffAgree how bags are handled during the tour. Reach the correct Hazrat Nizamuddin station entrance with time to find the platform.
- Train onward to AgraBook a current service and continue with the Agra guide. Confirm the departure station, service and ticket inclusions when booking.

A NOTE FROM ALISHA & MATT
Choose the visit
that suits you.
Book the visits that determine the day, then give the gaps a purpose: lunch, the journey and a chance to sit down.
Alisha & MattBook the room for when you arrive.
Tell the hotel the actual overnight landing time and secure the room under the correct booking date.
Agree the sights before paying.
Agree the Old and New Delhi stops with your operator. Choose the priorities for the time available, rather than expecting every major monument to fit.
Add a night when the margin is small.
A delayed flight, a long arrival process or a slower city tour can make an evening train impractical.
BEFORE YOU GOA few questions
A few questions
before you go.
Is this a complete Delhi highlights tour?
It is a short stopover framework. Choose the exact sightseeing with a guide rather than treating every major city attraction as included.
How should we count the hotel night?
The room is for the overnight arrival and rest before the city tour. Its booking date may be the previous calendar day. It is separate from the Agra night that follows.
Can I combine this with the other guides?
Yes. Join the guides at the travel days, then count the hotel nights. One guide’s departure can be the next guide’s arrival, so adding all the day counts would give you time you do not actually have. Match the connections before booking.
How do we keep a copy?
