Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Rashtrapati Bhavan, Rajpath, New Delhi 110004 India

After pickup from your hotel in Delhi by private vehicle, your driver will take you to the gates of Rashtrapati Bhavan – the presidential residence -- to watch the 30-minute Changing of Guard ceremony on Saturday morning. When you arrive, show your photo ID at the entrance to the estate’s forecourt, and view the President’s Body Guard (PBG) and their equestrian display amid a public audience of up to 200.

The PBG soldiers, established in 1773, belong to the Senior Regiment of the Indian Army, whose cavalry carry out ceremonial duties for the president. Watch the military guards, adorned in full regalia, as they advance from behind the Jaipur column astride their stallions. Consider the physical prowess of these elite troops as they perform exacting maneuvers, carrying lance and saber in tune to the music of the Army Brass Band.

As you observe this British-influenced military tradition, you’ll see the elite infantry regiments of the Army Guard Battalion march in and replace the old guard. The morning ceremony ends with another equestrian display by the PBG before they ride away toward Rashtrapati Bhavan while the brass band plays the National Anthem.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: National Museum, Janpath Rd, Rajpath Area, Central Secretariat, New Delhi, Delhi 110011, India

The National MuseumAt the National Museum, one of India’s largest museums, admire a range of Indian artifacts from prehistoric times to the modern era. This collection was permanently established at the National Museum after it was viewed at the Royal Academy in London, followed by an exhibit at Rashtrapati Bhavan in the mid-1940s.

Altogether, the museum has 200,000 works of art, both of Indian and foreign origin, covering a span of more than 5,000 years. With the aid of an audio tour and informative panels about the displays, walk through the museum and enjoy exhibits that include jewelry, paintings, manuscripts and armor, as well as a Buddhist art section renowned for its sacred relics.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: National Rail Museum, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi 110002 India

The National Rail MuseumSet amid 10 acres of sprawling park, the National Rail Museum isn’t just for train buffs! Head indoors for an informative display of fascinating objects, including signaling equipment, antique train furniture and historical photographs of the Indian Railway. Read the displays' accompanying annotations and learn about India’s rail heritage as you admire the line-up of 19th-century steam engines parked outside.

See the Prince of Wales Saloon, built in 1875 for the prince’s visit, and peer through the windows of the Maharaja of Mysore's Saloon for a look at the brocade-covered chairs and elegant rosewood bed. Don’t miss the well-preserved steam locomotive, the Fairy Queen, or the 1914 fire engine.

Duration: 2 hours

The National Museum was wonderful--self guided, but the Change of the Guard was cancelled. The Tour Company took us, with our consent, to the Rail Museum--self guided, in compensation for the Change of the Guard that was cancelled. The Rail Museum was so, so...Don't need a Tour company for this Tour, they only service they provided was the transportation. Much cheaper to catch a taxi and pay for the entrance fees at the door.

Fantastic exhibition of a polished performance by the Guards. The horses were absolutely fabulous, turned out an immaculate display. Not to be missed!
