Arrival in Delhi and assistance of "INDIA TOURS SERVICES" from our correspondent.
Delhi: City full of a dilated and rugged history that makes it, without a doubt, the oldest city in the Indian subcontinent. Located in the vicinity of the Jamuna River, it is the nation's capital since 1911, when King Jorge V decided so. Sultans longed for it and enjoyed it, great Mughal emperors made it their home and their refuge, many tribes wanted it and in the end Westerners put their colonialist foot in it. Now, life is boiling in its streets: sellers, astrologers, magicians and beggars, sitting on the floor, some form groups and talk and talk nonstop ...

Sergi D"My daughters and I started in New Delhi, then traveled to Jaipur for a few days. We toured in Agra next and then returned to New Delhi. Our guide was Rakesh from India Tour Services and he was perfect for us. He was sensitive to our needs, friendly and kind. He could always offer options and added some great little stops for us! We were glad for a strategy to visit the Taj Mahal, advice for getting in and out of the Red Fort, and really appreciated stops at the Step Well and the Monkey Temple. We also enjoyed appointments to learn and shop with textile producers and stones/jewelry.
Rakesh was able to hit the perfect balance between enthusiastic additions to the trip and quiet, restful breaks. We highly recommend him!"
