Itinerary

Your full-day tour of India’s capital begins with the historic portion of the city, Old Delhi. After pickup from your hotel, set off towards the Red Fort, which was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, who also built the Taj Mahal. Afterwards, you’ll weave through the bustling shopping area of Chandni Chowk by rickshaw, ending up at the Jama Masjid, a 17th-century mosque that is the largest in India. After stopping for an authentic local lunch, you’ll head into New Delhi, visiting the Qutub Minar, the world’s tallest brick minaret, before stopping at the Tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun. Next it’s off to the India Gate, a memorial to the Indian soldiers who died during World War I, before heading to the Lotus Temple, elegantly designed in the shape of a lotus flower. To cap things off you’ll drive past the Presidential House and the Parliament Buildings before being driven back to your accommodation.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an incredible experience exploring Delhi with Gyanendra Kumar as our guide and Monirul as our driver. Gyanendra’s deep knowledge of the city’s history and culture brought every site (Read More)to life, and he tailored the tour perfectly to our interests. Monirul ensured a smooth and comfortable journey through Delhi’s bustling streets. Together, they made our trip unforgettable. Highly recommend their services for anyone visiting Delhi!

We saw some great monuments but unfortunately the guide didn't speak French very well, only a few words so we missed out on explanations about the monuments, too bad... we would have liked to know mor (Read More)e. However, the guide was very nice.

We had an amazing experience on our full-day tour of New Delhi with our guide, Chtan, and driver, Jaatu. Both were lovely—Chtan was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, not just during the tour but a (Read More)lso with advice for the rest of our trip around India. The tour covered a great mix of the city’s main attractions, giving us a well-rounded view of its history and culture. Jaatu navigated the busy streets with ease, making the journey smooth and stress-free. Overall, it was well worth the money, and we highly recommend this tour for a fantastic introduction to New Delhi. Thank you, Chtan and Jaatu!

We did the Old and New Delhi tour with Gyanendra. The tour was really well organised and interesting, and Gyan was an informative and helpful guide. Would highly recommend paying extra to climb the to (Read More)wer at Jama Masjid. Also be firm if you don’t want to buy things - we were told no problem, we could just look at a museum/shop but were then pressured to buy things. One thing that soured the tour was that we did have some unnecessary tension at the end of the day when Gyan wanted us to do the review on the spot (we wanted to do it back at our hotel). He was fairly upset by this and argued with us - it was pretty uncomfortable, especially because it is hard to write an honest review when you have your guide watching you. He was also very pushy about tipping (which we would have done if it hadn’t been for the argument about the review). Despite this, it was still a really great tour and we would recommend doing it - just be wary about the pressure to buy/tip/review.

We booked the full day delhi tour last minute, the night before we wanted to do it. we had already saw a couple of things on the suggested itinerary and didn’t want to see them again, with so much Del (Read More)hi has to offer. I conversed with the guide over whatsapp who messaged me almost instantly after booking, to introduce himself and provide tour information. He was accommodating and changed parts of the itinerary to suit our needs. The driver, Pankaj, arrived on time and was extremely attentive, friendly and helpful. He already knew about the changes we requested and was happy to accommodate. We picked the guide up on the way to our first stop, who was also called Pankaj (this made it easy for us!) who again friendly and had excellent knowledge of all the sites we visited. Both Pankaj’s were excellent. I’d use them again and fully recommend them. Thanks Pankaj 1 and 2!

This tour was well recommended to us by a friend who took it literally a week before us. Surprisingly we had a very different experiences as the guides were different. I have to say that we are very d (Read More)isappointed by how it overall went. The driver was fine as he picked as up from where we asked to, the card was clean and air conditioned. However, the tour guide (his name started with R, don’t remember fully) was not what we expected. He insisted on taking our pictures and at the end of the tour asked for a tip. We made sure to tell him that we don’t need our pictures taken especially if it’s not for free, but by the end he still asked for a tip if we wanted to pay. Additionally, he took us to the places where he knew sellers and the creepy part is that he passed on our travel information to those people(they knew where we came from in India). In addition, he took us to one of the palaces in the list and didn’t enter with us. At the end the driver also expected a tip. This is not how the
