The experience

The tour starts with pickup from your hotel, airport, or any location in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad, or Faridabad. Your guide meets you and the day unfolds in a sequence you can shape: Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, a Sikh temple with a healing pool; Jama Masjid, India's largest mosque, built in 1656 with a grand red sandstone courtyard; and the Red Fort, the former residence of Mughal emperors, standing across from the market. If you book the Old Delhi option, you'll ride a traditional tuk-tuk through the bazaars of Chandni Chowk with your guide, passing through Khari Baoli, Asia's largest spice market, where the colors and aromas shift with each stall.

The New Delhi half takes you past India Gate, a 1921 war memorial bearing the names of 13,300 Indian soldiers from World War I; Parliament House, home to India's bicameral legislature; and Rashtrapati Bhavan, the official residence of the President. You'll also visit Agrasen ki Baoli, an ancient stepwell tucked into central Delhi with a reputation for eerie charm, and Humayun's Tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and India's first garden tomb, commissioned by his wife and surrounded by serene Mughal gardens. The tour ends at the Lotus Temple, a Bahá'í House of Worship shaped like a lotus flower and inaugurated in 1986, though if you're visiting on a Monday, when it's closed, your guide will take you to Qutub Minar instead.

Monument tickets are included in the price, and you travel in a private, air-conditioned car sized to your group: a four-seater sedan for one or two people, a six-seater wagon for three to five, or a twelve-seater van for six to twelve. Bottled water comes with you, and the guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French, or several other languages. If your pickup location isn't listed during booking, you can enter it manually, and for airport pickups you'll provide your flight details so the driver can track your arrival. Carry a valid photo ID for monument entry.
