About this trip
A one-day private tour through Delhi's two very different faces, guided the whole way so someone else handles the navigating in a city that rewards it.
Old Delhi is Mughal-era streets, packed markets, and centuries of layered history, while New Delhi shows the city's more planned, spacious side. Seeing both in a day gives you a real sense of how the city holds its past and present side by side.
What you'll do
- Explore the Red Fort's Mughal architecture
- Wander Jama Masjid, one of India's largest mosques
- Get lost, on purpose, in the lanes of Chandni Chowk market
- Sample street food from local vendors as you go
- Compare Old Delhi's chaos with the wider avenues of New Delhi
- Private and fully guided, so pace can flex to suit you
- One long day covering two contrasting parts of the city — expect a fair amount of walking
- Good fit for families or anyone who prefers a guide over navigating solo
Worth it if you want a whirlwind overview of Delhi's main sites with a genuinely knowledgeable guide. Think twice if you're heat-sensitive or prefer a slower pace.
- Guide quality is consistently exceptional—Prakash, Shanu, Satish, Siddi, Sandip all praised for knowledge, humour, flexibility and genuine kindness.
- Covers Old Delhi authenticity (mosques, spice markets, tuk-tuk rides) and New Delhi landmarks (Lotus Temple, Humayun's Tomb) in one dense day.
- Heat is a real factor—guides adapt pace, but packing a full day into Delhi's climate requires stamina and good water supply.
- Driver and vehicle quality essential to experience; reviews praise AC comfort, punctuality, and water provision as standard throughout.
