In addition to accommodating the emperors and their households, it was the ceremonial and political centre of the Mughal state and the setting for events critically impacting the region.Every year on the Independence day of India (15 August), the Prime Minister hoists the Indian "tricolour flag" at the main gate of the fort and delivers a nationally broadcast speech from its ramparts.Emperor Shah Jahan commissioned construction of the Red Fort on 12 May 1638, when he decided to shift his capital from Agra to Delhi.

Our guide met us at our hotel and we told him the sights we would like to see. He made some recommendations which we agreed to. His insight into the religions and history of the various sights made the tour very interesting. Overall it was a great trip.

The tour around Delhi was nice covering the most important things to see. The tour guide did a good job and was funny as well.

The guide met me on time in the lobby of my hotel. I had a list of places I'd found on a 50 best places in Delhi blog. We went over them and made an itinerary of the most places I could see. We went to Humayun's tomb, Old Delhi 6, Lotus temple, sikh temple, Raj Ghat and Jama Masjid. It's not made clear, but I finally figured out I was supposed to buy my guide lunch. I wasn't hungry and I kept putting him off and then after searching on the internet I found a place I would go for lunch. I then realized I was to share my lunch. I thought it was funny. I wished I knew before the tour, so I could have done research on a lunch place the night before. The driver of the car was very good. There is a driver and a guide to tip. I also gave the guide a little bit of cash so he could pay for rickshaws, street food, and drinks at his bargaining price. That took a lot of stress off me. I had a good time, learned a lot and got a good feel of New Delhi. I would do this tour again with another list.

Everything worked perfectly. Sammy was a great guide - very good English, and very knowledgeable. This was on our first day in Delhi, and it gave us a good introduction to the city. We stopped off for lunch at a small local restaurant no idea where!, but the food was excellent. Make sure you have cash with you - R 500 per person at each of two sites, lunch a few hundred rupees each, and around R 500 for rickshaw and the electric Tuk-Tukky thing. One of the sites and the small restaurant accepted cards, though. You also pay for the guide's entrance fees, but these fees for Indians are very small only R 30. The itinerary makes it clear you pay for these, so no surprises - but doesn't give any idea of how much you need to take. If you can, leave any backpacks etc. in the car for the Old Delhi bit - otherwise you'll be advised to wear them on your front.
