Luxury Golden Triangle Private Tours
Delhi, Agra and Jaipur travelled privately, with palace hotels, a chauffeured car and expert guides, on a journey shaped entirely around you.
A luxury, private Golden Triangle tour of India
Driver India Private Tours runs private, tailor-made luxury Golden Triangle tour packages across Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. You travel in your own air-conditioned car with your own driver, stay in hotels chosen for your comfort level, and tour each city with a licensed local guide. The three cities sit four to six hours apart by road, so the classic route works comfortably over five to seven days and extends easily into Rajasthan, Varanasi or a tiger safari at Ranthambore.
The three cities
Delhi
Most trips begin in Delhi, since it is where international flights land. In Old Delhi you walk the lanes around Jama Masjid, ride a cycle-rickshaw through the Chandni Chowk market and visit the Red Fort. In New Delhi you see the wider avenues, India Gate and the 12th-century Qutub Minar. If you arrive jet-lagged, we keep the first day light.
Agra
Agra is home to the Taj Mahal, and the advice worth following is to visit at sunrise: better light, cooler marble and a fraction of the mid-morning crowds. Our drivers know the pickup time that gets you to the east gate first. Agra Fort and the smaller "Baby Taj" are both worth your time.
Jaipur
Jaipur is your first taste of Rajasthan. Amer Fort sits on a hill above the city, with the mirrored Sheesh Mahal inside. In the old city you have the Hawa Mahal, the City Palace and Jantar Mantar, an 18th-century stone observatory. It is also the best place on the route to shop for block-print textiles and gemstones.

Best time for a Golden Triangle tour
The comfortable season is October to March, when daytime temperatures are mild and sightseeing is easy. December and February bring cool mornings and pleasant afternoons. April to June gets very hot across this part of India, and July to September brings the monsoon, so most travellers plan around the winter months. If you would rather travel in the shoulder season, tell us and we will adjust the pace and timings to suit the weather.
