Private Full Day Old and New Delhi City Tour

Delhi, the heart of India, is a beautiful paradox—where the ancient world meets the modern. A private full-day Old and New Delhi city tour offers the perfect opportunity to experience the best of both these worlds in just one day. From majestic Mughal architecture to colonial-era landmarks and buzzing markets to serene gardens, this tour takes you deep into the city’s soul.

Your journey begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel by a private car and a knowledgeable local guide. The day kicks off in Old Delhi, a treasure trove of history and heritage. First stop: Jama Masjid, India’s largest mosque, built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. The intricate design, grand structure, and spiritual aura make it a must-visit. Just nearby, hop on a rickshaw and dive into Chandni Chowk, a chaotic yet charming bazaar packed with narrow lanes, food stalls, spice shops, jewelry stores, and hidden havelis.

You’ll then visit Raj Ghat, the peaceful resting place of Mahatma Gandhi. Surrounded by trees and serenity, it’s a place for reflection and tribute. Old Delhi gives way to wide roads and organized architecture as you enter New Delhi.

Here, you’ll witness the grand India Gate, a war memorial standing proudly on Rajpath, followed by a drive past the stunning Rashtrapati Bhavan (President’s House) and the Parliament House. These buildings reflect India’s colonial history and current democratic strength.

For a dose of ancient architectural brilliance, visit Humayun’s Tomb, a precursor to the Taj Mahal, with its Persian-style gardens and symmetrical beauty. Another gem is the Qutub Minar, a soaring 12th-century minaret that tells tales of Delhi's Sultanate era.

Midway through the day, enjoy a delicious lunch at a popular local restaurant. Treat yourself to iconic Delhi flavors—maybe some rich butter chicken, spicy chole bhature, or sizzling kebabs.

This private tour allows full flexibility—you set the pace. Want to shop for handicrafts or souvenirs? Prefer to linger longer at a historical spot? It’s your day, designed just for you.

Whether it’s your first time in Delhi or a return trip, this tour gives you a fresh perspective of the city. With a mix of sightseeing, culture, cuisine, and stories, you’ll leave with unforgettable memories and a deeper understanding of India’s capital.
