Delhi: Private Half or Full-Day Tour of Old & New Delhi｜India

Delhi is one of the world's oldest living cities — and one of the most misunderstood. Most visitors see the landmarks but miss the layers. This private tour changes that.

Old Delhi - where history never stopped

Your day begins in Old Delhi, a neighborhood that has been continuously inhabited for over 400 years. Walk through Chandni Chowk — one of Asia's oldest and busiest markets, where spice merchants, street food vendors, and silver jewelers have worked the same lanes for generations. Enter Jama Masjid, India's largest mosque, commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1650 and completed in 1656. Its courtyard holds up to 25,000 worshippers and offers one of the most striking views in all of Delhi. From here, a cycle rickshaw ride takes you deeper into Old Delhi's narrow galis — streets too tight for any car, full of sounds and smells that no tour bus can reach.

New Delhi - monuments that defined a nation

Cross into New Delhi and the city shifts entirely. Stand before India Gate, the war memorial that marks the ceremonial heart of the capital. Visit Humayun's Tomb — a UNESCO World Heritage Site built in 1572, and the architectural inspiration behind the Taj Mahal. See the serene Lotus Temple, one of the most visited buildings in the world and a masterpiece of modern architecture. Walk the grounds of Qutub Minar, the world's tallest brick minaret at 73 metres, built in 1193 and still standing in perfect condition. Drive past Parliament House and Rashtrapati Bhavan — the buildings where modern India was shaped.

What makes this tour different

This is not a group tour. You are not following a flag through a crowd. Your private English-speaking guide focuses entirely on you — your questions, your pace, your interests. Every commentary is a conversation, not a rehearsed script.

Hotel pickup and drop-off is included from anywhere in central Delhi. You travel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle throughout. Optional entry tickets to monuments can be added so you have nothing to arrange on the day.

Half-day or full-day - your choice

If you have half a day, choose Old Delhi or New Delhi separately — each is a complete, immersive experience. If you have a full day, cover both and understand Delhi the way it deserves to be understood. Start time is flexible and entirely yours to set
