It was the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal dynasty for nearly 200 years, until 1856.
Every year on the Independence day of India (15 August), the Prime Minister hoists the Indian “tricolour flag” at the main gate of the fort and delivers a nationally broadcast speech from its ramparts.

Feb 25 Delhi, Agra, Pushkar, Jaipur Visit - I booked our trip to the Red Fort visit however this developed into a visit to Agra and Rajasthan with Travel India One Day. We had used them in a day excursion to see Qutab Munar and other Delhi sights.
Our original visit to the Red Fort was delayed until after the India Independence events which temporarily closed it to visitors.
We were met by Manu our driver for 5 days. He was helpful, pleasant and punctual. We drove to Agra (4hours) and stayed at the Grand Imperial for 2 nights. We visited the Agra Fort, “baby Taj” the Taj Mahal ant dawn and then Fatehpur Sikri on our way to Pushkar, where we stayed at the Jagat Palace for the night. Our visit included the lake itself and BrahmaTemple, also a jeep visit to the desert area and traditional dancing and meal at sunset. We then headed to Jaipur where we spent 2 nights at the Shahpura House Hotel.
Jaipur visits included Amer Fort, City Palace, Hawa Mahal, Janter Manter, Jal Mahal and other sights.
In our return from Jaipur to Delhi by train (5.5hrs) we were met by Ashok who drove us to the Red Fort for our visit (3hrs)
All visits included local guides and skip the queue entry. We were in constant touch with TIOD via WhatsApp to ensure all was going well and check what we wanted to visit.
All arrangements went well and we really enjoyed our trip.

Guided tour of India - Naresh is a very knowledgeable and interesting tour guide that I had the pleasure of meeting today for a guided tour of Delhi.
His wealth of information was wonderful to hear and I found the whole day brilliant. He knew so much about various points of interest around Delhi and beyond.
His English is fantastic and very engaging.
I just wish I know about him sooner.
Thank you Naresh!

Best Tour in Delhi - I have come to rely on Trip Advisor for their constant quality of tour guides. Their guides are vetted for knowledgeable tour content. And true to my experience this tour was excellent. First the drive Venya was very kind, interesting and helpful. As a woman touring alone I felt completely safe and cared for. My tour was complete with exceptional guidance. Seeing the Red Fort in person was so much more that what I had already read. This visit was fascinating and I learned details that can only come from from person visit and great guide. Highly recommend this tour.

Generally good but tour operator needs to listen to the client. - I would have given this a 5 but my issue was the tour operator. The guide and driver were good. However, despite the tour operator being nice and easy to communicate with, they didn't listen. We confirmed and agreed a 10:00 start. I got multiple messages late at night and early morning which annoyed me, telling me to be ready at 09:00. I couldn't as I was doing something else. Eventually we started at 10:00. However due to the tour operator not listening, I was told the guide was no longer free for 10:00! We eventually got a guide who was good but the tour operator needs to listen to the client and deliver.

Good way to spend a couple of hours - I had a hotel pick up arranged and the driver Bunty spoke good English. We met the guide at the fort - Dr Jay. He was very knowledgeable and explained various aspects about the fort. I think a guide is worthwhile because there are a lot of things that you wouldn’t learn without them. I was on my own and there were no others on the tour so I was able to ask lots of questions.
We were there fairly early so I don’t think we actually jumped a queue. Like many attractions, if you get there early it’s usually less crowded.
There are options to visit old Delhi market lanes afterwards as it in the same neighbourhood.
The driver dropped me back to the hotel making the whole experience fairly painless.
I literally booked a couple of hours before the tour and they were very accomodating in making it happen as I didn’t have a lot of time.

Mixed day at Red Fort - Communication with the company was poor. The company I used the previous day, Keeper Landwey, also through Viator, kept me updated about timings, sent the driver name and registration, and kept in touch throughout. Communication today with today’s company (Travelindiaoneday) was chaotic and confusing; requests for information were randomly answered or ignored, and the experience was poor compared with the day before. The driver arrived late at the hotel. He was polite and efficient. The guide at the Fort (Lalit) was excellent, obliging, thoughtful, explained everything well. I enjoyed this part, but advise strongly to ignore the bazaar in the Fort; they tell you that it’s cheaper there as they pay no tax, but prices are double even in other tourist traps. The Red Fort is amazing, if you get this guide the experience is easily 4 stars; the organising company were unwilling to honour the 8.00 slot booked on Viator, made me take a 9.00 slot (not in the end an inconvenience), but did not inform the guide who waited an hour. This part of the trip was 1 star. Driver also suggested a shopping trip to Goverment House, but this a way away to the south, and a tourist trap.

Decent Tour...Expensive Transportation - Tour of the Red Fort was decent. Tour guide was rushed, but did give a lot of great history of the fort. My issue is with the transport. I was a solo traveler and was picked up as expected at my hotel. However, after the tour the driver asked where I wanted to go. I stated that he could bring me to the Hard Rock and I would find my own transportation back to the hotel. However, he said that he would bring me wherever I wanted to go after lunch. Little did I know that this entailed being dropped off at a "bazaar" where I was hounded into buying a suit and more that I didn't expect to purchase. I found out later that India shops offer commission to all that bring tourists to their locations. Lesson learned. If you do the tour, just ask to go back to the hotel and find an uber to go to your next location. It will be a lot cheaper.
