The experience
The driver picks you up from your hotel or preferred location and the day moves at your rhythm. You set which landmarks matter most and how long to spend at each one. A tuk-tuk ride through the narrow lanes of Chandni Chowk (one of Old Delhi's oldest markets, active since the 17th century) puts you into the maze of shops and street food stalls on foot, then the private air-conditioned car takes you between the larger monuments so you're not walking the full distance in the heat.
Jama Masjid, India's largest mosque, built in 1656 with red sandstone and a grand courtyard, sits directly across from the Red Fort. The Red Fort itself, constructed between 1639 and 1648 by Shah Jahan, blends Indo-Islamic and Mughal styles and once housed the emperors. Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, a Sikh temple with a serene pool called the Sarovar, has roots going back to 1664 when the eighth Sikh Guru visited during a cholera outbreak. These three anchor the older part of the city, and your guide explains the history as you move between them.
New Delhi's landmarks spread across wider distances: India Gate, the war memorial arch surrounded by gardens; Parliament House, the circular 1927 building that houses India's legislature; Humayun's Tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the first garden tomb in India, built in the mid-16th century and a precursor to the Taj Mahal; and the Lotus Temple in South Delhi, a Bahá'í House of Worship shaped like a lotus flower where people of any faith can sit in silence. Bottled water is provided throughout the day. Your guide speaks English, Spanish, French or Russian depending on which you choose at checkout.
Top questions
What languages is the tour guided in?
Live guide in English, Spanish, French and Russian.
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (under 14).
What's the difference between the two tour options?
Car + Guide covers your private transportation and the guide's commentary for the full eight hours. Car + Guide + Entrance adds admission to all the monuments (Jama Masjid, Red Fort, Humayun's Tomb, Lotus Temple and the others), so you don't buy tickets separately at each stop.
Can I skip any of the landmarks or spend longer at one place?
Yes. The tour is private, so your guide adjusts the route and timing based on what you want to see. You choose which stops matter most and how much time to spend at each one.
Does the tour include meals?
No, meals are not included. You can eat at restaurants or street food stalls in Chandni Chowk or elsewhere during the tour, and your guide can recommend places.
Is the Lotus Temple open every day?
The Lotus Temple is closed on Mondays, so if that's your tour day, your guide will adjust the route or skip it depending on your preference.
What happens if I'm staying outside Delhi?
Pickup and drop-off work from any location in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad or Faridabad, so the driver collects you from your hotel or address in any of those areas.
