About this trip
A private, guided day out that puts Old and New Delhi side by side, so you can feel the contrast between the two rather than just ticking off sights.
You get the chaos and colour of Chandni Chowk by rickshaw, then swing across to the wide avenues and grander architecture of Lutyens' New Delhi. It's a good option if you want a broad first impression of the capital without committing more than a day to it.
With a private guide throughout, the pace and focus can flex around what you want to see or skip.
What you'll do
- Rickshaw ride through the lanes and bazaars of Chandni Chowk
- Visit UNESCO World Heritage monuments across Old and New Delhi
- See the contrast between Old Delhi's streets and New Delhi's Lutyens-era architecture
- Visit a Sikh temple and see its large community kitchen in action
- Private guide throughout, tailored to your pace
- Private tour, so the itinerary can be adjusted to your interests
- Full day, city-based sightseeing with some walking and a rickshaw ride
- Suits those wanting an overview of Delhi in a single day rather than a slow, deep dive
Worth it if you want a knowledgeable, adaptable guide who customises to your interests. Think twice if you need a structured itinerary—this is flexible but demands clear communication upfront.
- Guides (especially Vivek) are genuinely knowledgeable storytellers who go beyond standard scripts on religion, history, and culture.
- Highly responsive via WhatsApp and willing to tailor routes—photography, solo travel, or specific sites all accommodated without fuss.
- Driver and guide work as a team; driver shares local knowledge and adds comfort to long days covering both Old and New Delhi.
- Success hinges on clear communication of your priorities beforehand; vague requests may not yield the bespoke experience others praised.
