Knowledgeable and friendly tour
Very knowledgeabe and friendly guide and driver. The last part about forcing a purchase at an emprium was unnneccessary as they dont have price tags and make prices out of thin air. For touring, I would use again

Fantastic introduction to Delhi with knowledgeable and professional guide
Thanks to my wonderful guide Madhvendra (Mona) Singh, I had an absolutely unforgettable first day in Delhi. Touring on my own, I would have been impressed but overwhelmed. What Madhvendra gave me was a precious gift: the necessary background knowledge, context, and insight to start to get a sense of Delhi’s rich religious and cultural diversity. This gave me valuable tools for making the most of the rest of my 10 days in India. I had a million questions and was looking for in-depth information. Madhvendra’s knowledge was impressive. He provided fascinating detail about a huge variety of topics, from architecture to food to arts and crafts and music. All of the temples were amazing, but three stood out for me for different reasons. I was absolutely captivated by the Jain temple in Old Delhi. It was a perfect jewel – small-scale, and exquisitely decorated on every surface. I wanted to spend more time there, and Madhvendra accommodated that request, providing detailed information on the Jain religion and the origins, materials, and techniques used in the incredible decoration. I’m glad that photographs were not permitted, because what I took away was a focused and indelible memory of an ascetic religious tradition surrounded by art, sumptuous colour and design, and extraordinary craftsmanship. I was touched by the faith put into action that was so apparent in the communal kitchen of the Sikh temple, all run by volunteers. And the Akshardham Temple could only have been built in India. What other country could call upon thousands and thousands of superb and creative artisans in hundreds of different skilled trades? Madhvendra called it India’s Gift to the World, and it truly is a living example of creativity and skill that has been honed, perfected, and passed down over thousands of years. Whether it was textiles, carving, painting, music, literature, or drama, this sense of India’s ancient and living creativity resonated throughout my entire trip. The rickshaw ride through Old Delhi was an extraordinary experience for all the senses, and Madhvendra kept me fascinated and entertained by his answers to my questions about all the things I was seeing. He taught me how to navigate the crowds and stay safe by walking on the left, and even took me to some specific places that I had researched but were not on the official tour. For example, I wanted to visit the Gulab Singh Johrimal store, the oldest perfume store in Delhi. He got me there quickly and efficiently, and good-naturedly provided an opinion on a men’s perfume I wanted to buy for my husband. There are many other examples of Madhvendra going above and beyond. When I got a call that was supposedly from my bank, he saved me from potential fraud by warning me to hang up and not provide information over the phone. I also asked his advice about navigating New Delhi on my own, and he showed me how to use the metro (which was incredibly modern and clean), and showed me some apps to download. While Madhvendra was the perfect guide for a solo middle-aged female traveler like myself, my husband and teenage/young adult children would have adored him as well. He was smart, hip, globally aware, adaptable, generous, humorous, and warm-hearted. I could not have asked for a better introduction to India or for a better host, and I will always be grateful.
Response from the operator: Dear Sir/ Madam, Thanks for your review and rating us excellent. We are glad to know that you have enjoyed your tour and hope to see you soon on another adventure with us. Warm Regards Komal Batra

Fascinating tour and wonderful guide
This tour was the perfect blend of fascinating and eventful, yet not overly exhausting for someone being for the first in India and, additionally, alone. I was taken by car from one destination to the next and offered water, which made the tour very fitting for a first day. I saw many beautiful places which satisfied my curiosity, but at the same didn't get overwhelmed by the hot temperatures, noises and smells I wasn't at all accustomed to. I learnt a lot about Hinduism and despite asking numerous questions, Suraj was prepared to answer each and every one of them. Not only that, when he realized that we would be finished with the tour earlier than expected, he extended it by showing me the site of Gandhis death and telling me all he knew about the place. I'm very glad I chose this tour!
Response from the operator: Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you very much for your review & rating LAT as Excellent. It gives us immense pleasure to know that you have enjoyed your tour with us. Your Valuable feedback helps us to improve our service and keeps us motivated. We look forward to having you on the other tour with us. Best Regards, Suraj

Good Tour
The tour was very informational. Got to see all the temples listed on the description and each temple was so different from each other making it a lot of fun! The guide was there to pick me up way before scheduled time and I had plenty of time to see all the temples to my liking. The only reason why I didn't give 5 star is because the tour guide seemed to have memorized what to explain to me so he seemed uncomfortable or offended when I asked questions that I genuinely wanted to know about the culture. Even so, the tour guide was still great and I learned so much from the tour!

5-Hour Half-Day Delhi Temple Tour with Pick-Up & Drop-Off: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does 5-Hour Half-Day Delhi Temple Tour with Pick-Up & Drop-Off cost?
+
Prices start at ₹1,349 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New Delhi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 5-Hour Half-Day Delhi Temple Tour with Pick-Up & Drop-Off take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New Delhi is not rushed.
Is 5-Hour Half-Day Delhi Temple Tour with Pick-Up & Drop-Off worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New Delhi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5-Hour Half-Day Delhi Temple Tour with Pick-Up & Drop-Off?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 5-Hour Half-Day Delhi Temple Tour with Pick-Up & Drop-Off suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 5-Hour Half-Day Delhi Temple Tour with Pick-Up & Drop-Off?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New Delhi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New Delhi and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5-Hour Half-Day Delhi Temple Tour with Pick-Up & Drop-Off start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New Delhi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New Delhi?
+
On Outty we rank every New Delhi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Taj Mahal & Agra Fort Private Day Trip From Delhi with 5* Lunch, 5 Nights 6 Days Private Golden Triangle Tour - Delhi Agra Jaipur, Old & New Delhi Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New Delhi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New Delhi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
