- Humayun's Tomb, the design precursor to the Taj Mahal
- Qutub Minar, the tallest brick minaret in the world

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Old Delhi and New Delhi be combined in one day?
It's possible but rushed — we generally recommend splitting them across two mornings for a more comfortable pace.
How much walking is involved?
Moderate — each site involves 20–40 minutes of walking on paved paths.
Is this tour suitable for a half-day instead?
Yes, it can be trimmed to Qutub Minar and Humayun's Tomb only if time is tight — ask when booking.
