Old & New Delhi Private Tour

Visit Jama Masjid, one of Old Delhi's best-known historic mosques. Its large courtyard, domes and red sandstone details reflect the architectural style of the Mughal period.

The surrounding neighbourhood is part of the experience, with busy streets and traditional shops close to the mosque. Visitors should dress respectfully and follow the site's entry and photography rules.

Continue into Chandni Chowk, one of Delhi's historic market districts. The area is known for narrow lanes, shopfronts, traditional food businesses and the movement of traders, shoppers and rickshaws.

A cycle-rickshaw ride can be included through the applicable booking option. It offers a practical way to experience the market area without having to navigate the crowded streets on your own.

Allow enough time for walking, photographs and local shopping if these are priorities for you.

See the exterior of the Red Fort, a major historic landmark associated with the Mughal Empire. Its red sandstone walls and monumental entrances make it a prominent sight in Old Delhi.

The standard itinerary treats this as a photo stop or outside visit. Entry inside the fort is not included unless specifically confirmed in your package.

Visit Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, one of Delhi's important Sikh religious sites. Its white buildings and golden dome stand beside a sacred pool, creating a calmer setting away from the city's busiest roads.

Visitors should cover their heads, remove their shoes in designated areas and follow the site's guidelines. Your guide can explain the site's significance and help you understand the visitor arrangements.

Drive through New Delhi's broad avenues and stop at India Gate for photographs. Depending on traffic and the selected route, you may also pass Parliament House and Rashtrapati Bhavan from the outside.

This part of the tour provides a contrast to Old Delhi: instead of narrow market lanes, you'll see wide roads, formal public spaces and buildings associated with India's national government.

Visit Humayun's Tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its symmetrical garden layout, domed structure and red sandstone and white marble details.

The tomb is an important example of Mughal architecture and offers a quieter setting for exploring the monument's design. Allow sufficient time to walk through the garden and see the main structure.

Explore Qutub Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a distinctive fluted minaret and an architectural complex containing historic structures.

Your guide can explain the site's background and point out details in its carved stonework. Allow around an hour if the monument is included as a full visit.

If your selected route includes Lotus Temple, visit the well-known building shaped like a lotus flower. Its design stands apart from Delhi's older monuments and offers another perspective on the city's architecture.

The temple is closed on Mondays, so this stop must be planned around its opening schedule. Admission and access arrangements should be confirmed before your visit.

If time permits, stop at Agrasen ki Baoli, a historic stepwell known for its descending staircases and symmetrical stone structure. It offers a different type of heritage experience from Delhi's larger monuments.

This is an optional stop for the longer sightseeing route, rather than a guaranteed feature of every duration option.

After completing the selected sightseeing route, your driver will take you back to your agreed drop-off location.

The total duration depends on the option booked, traffic, opening hours and time spent at each attraction. Your guide can help prioritise the stops, but visiting every attraction may not be possible on a shorter tour.

End of tour: Delhi NCR.
