Excursion Overview
Our Heritage Walk aims to explore Old Delhi's history in depth. Once known as Shahjahanabad, Old Delhi was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan and the Indo-Islamic influence can still be seen today. Our walking tour explores monuments of the Pre-Shah Jahan period with a visit to Kalan Masjid and the Tomb of Turkman Shah. Taking in the labyrinth of lanes and narrow alleyways also allows the knowledgeable guide to point out significant havelis once owned by influential people of the time, such as the home of Chunna Mal. From the colourful spice markets to the famous Jama Masjid, from old educational institutions to century old churches, this walk provides a well rounded and far reaching insight into Old Delhi's turbulent and exciting history. It's important to note that all the walks can be customised to suit your interests and part of the fascinating journey can be enjoyed in a traditional rickshaw. The tour normally starts at 10am and finishes by 1pm.

First time clients of Holiday Architects and what a memorable trip they planned and delivered for us. Lisa and Clare put together 5 weeks of criss-crossing Sri Lanka and Rajasthan in India, whilst their excellent partners on the ground made sure we had the best experience possible. What made it so special were the quirky places we stayed, the unique experiences scheduled just for us and above all the generosity of our drivers and the many guides willing to share their personal insights on local customs and culture. It goes without saying we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Holiday Architects if you are planning that special trip and thank you Lisa and Clare, we loved it all!

We recently booked a holiday to India; we were helped all the way by Clare, who put together a wonderful itinerary for us. Whilst in India, we were really well supported by the local team. Our driver was fabulous and really looked after us. India is a truly amazing country with so much rich history, culture, wildlife and scenery. Above this, the people we met were friendly, interesting and interested, and a joy to meet. Thank you for a truly memorable trip.
