India's capital and one of the world's great layered cities, where seven historic cities and three empires overlap. Its Mughal heart is Old Delhi, the walled Shahjahanabad that Shah Jahan built around his Red Fort, a maze of bazaars, mosques, temples and a Sikh shrine along the old avenue of Chandni Chowk. Nearby stands Humayuns Tomb, the garden-mausoleum that was the blueprint for the Taj Mahal. Read the last Mughal capital and its monuments at your own pace.

What each tour covers

• Old Delhi: The Last Mughal Capital: A single continuous walk along Chandni Chowk, the moonlit avenue at the heart of Shahjahanabad, reading the last Mughal capital through its stacked faiths, its craft lanes, and the two great mosques that bookend the street.
• Red Fort: The Peacock Throne's Fortress: Read Shah Jahan's red sandstone palace-fortress from its western gate to the marble hall where the jewelled Peacock Throne once stood, at your own quiet pace through one of Delhi's most crowded monuments.
• Humayun's Tomb: The Blueprint for the Taj: A quiet garden of the dead in Delhi where India's first great garden-tomb rose over a fourfold paradise garden, and where the Taj Mahal was, in effect, first drafted a century before Agra perfected it.
