Arriving in Delhi, you’ll be met by your private driver and whisked to your hotel, offering a tantalising first glimpse of this bustling city. Take some time to relax as tomorrow you’re diving in.

Today you’ll experience the cultural melting pot of Delhi. Tour the iconic architecture, help serve community food at the Sikh Gurdwara, take a rikshaw through the oldest and spiciest city market and end your day at the serene Humayun’s Tomb.

A short train journey takes you to the Mughal masterpieces in Agra. From the Red Fort’s sandstone carvings and marble towers to the ornate marble inlay of the Itmad-ud-Daula, you’ll come to understand the craftsmanship that led to the Taj Mahal.

Sunrise this morning will be one that may stay with you forever as you watch the dawn colours play on the white façade of the Taj Mahal. You’ll have time to sit and stare before leaving Agra for Jaipur.

From opulent palaces to astronomical wizardry, illusionary façades to snake charmers’ flutes, you’ll be introduced to the captivating sites of this sandstone city before heading to the Amber Fort with its castellated walls, vast elephant gates and bejewelled mirrored halls.

Driving south from Jaipur, you’ll skim the edge of the arid Aravalli Hills, punctuated by cameos of goat herders, camel carts and brightly painted trucks. As the Thar Desert begins, you’ll catch glimpses of Jodhpur shimmering in the heat haze ahead.

You’ll walk the maze of Jodhpur’s blue streets today, feeling the buzz of trade in this important desert outpost. Overhead, Mehrangarh Fort beckons, and your guide will talk you through its impressive historical significance before you head to the Jaswant Thada.

What our travellers say

We went to Sri Lanka as a three-generation family of three. The superb trip was organised by Samanthie and the team and it's difficult to see how it could have been bettered.

Red Dot organised the most wonderful 3-week holiday for us. Samanthie built a trip around the amazing sights we had requested visiting, together with her own suggestions and a wide mix of hotels, which gave us the flavours of both traditional Sri Lanka and the sleek, stylish contemporary version of the country. Our Driver made the whole experience incredibly special for us.

I can’t thank Cherylle and the Red Dot team enough for their meticulous planning of our family holiday to India travelling through Rajasthan over Christmas. As a family of all adults, every suggestion from daily activities to hotel choices was simply perfect. We travelled through Delhi, Ranthambore (an unforgettable tiger safari!), Jaipur and Agra and I truly feel we experienced the very best of each destination while moving at a relaxed, well thought out pace

My partner arranged a holiday trip at fairly short notice to Sri Lanka with Red Dot on a recommendation, Samanthie was so patient & helpful with her suggested itinerary which we followed with some minor amendments. On arrival at Colombo we met Manjula our chauffeur/guide who was absolutely brilliant!

Dulmini and the Red Dot Team arranged a fantastic trip for us around Assam and North East India. Faultless service. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Wonderful company. Our holiday in Sri Lanka was perfect. Local knowledge made all the difference
Sandra Nicholson  (February 2026) Read the whole review here Google
We looked up, and communicated with umpteen tour operators. Though Red Dot seemed to have offices in Sri Lanka and the UK, they seemed to have the best reviews. We were fortunate enough to correspond with Cherylle, who not only assured us of the safety of our friend, but created a personalised, and flexible, itinerary which we could not have done ourselves.

A 14-day tour with Red Dot Tours was the perfect antidote to the bleak UK winter. After a glowing recommendation from a friend, we contacted Red Dot Tours and were not disappointed. Our consultant, Lahiru, curated a seamless itinerary. Throughout the planning phase, Lahiru was incredibly responsive; the final itinerary—delivered via a user-friendly 'Guest Portal'—was impressively detailed, covering every hotel stay and excursion.
