The experience

The driver picks you up from your hotel at your chosen time and the route adjusts based on where you're staying and which half-day option you book. A half-day Old Delhi tour takes in Jama Masjid, built in 1656 by 5,000 workers with a grand red sandstone courtyard, then moves through Chandni Chowk's lanes (either by foot or by bicycle rickshaw), and stops at Khari Baoli, Asia's largest spice market, where the colors and smells shift with each vendor's specialty. You'll pass the Red Fort on the way. A half-day New Delhi tour instead covers the Presidential Palace, India Gate, and Lodhi Gardens, a 90-acre park holding four Sultanate-era tombs spread across lawns.

The full-day option strings both together, which means one UNESCO monument (either Humayun's Tomb or Qutub Minar) fits into the itinerary depending on your hotel location and the route the driver takes. Humayun's Tomb was commissioned in 1558 by the emperor's first wife and designed by Persian architects. Qutub Minar is a separate landmark on the southern edge of the city. The guide narrates the history and daily life of the city as you move between stops. You get bottled water throughout and the car stays air-conditioned.

This is a private tour, so only your group travels together. If your hotel isn't in the booking system, you enter the name manually at checkout. Airport pickups require flight details at the time of booking. Tips to the guide and driver are your choice. A rickshaw ride in Old Delhi costs extra if you add it.
