I would especially like to thank our driver, Arun, who was with us for most of the journey.

Bad experience during Akshardham visit
Guide provided during the visit was rude in behavior & did not provided the information in the apt way. He was running ahead of the group & made no significant contribution in providing the knowledge about the temple. As a group, we had to pay temple visit charges. Also, services provided were too expensive & don't see any value add for the same. Request Viator for refund. Booking ref.: BR-1133978767

Akshardham Temple Evening Tour with Musical Fountain Show: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does Akshardham Temple Evening Tour with Musical Fountain Show cost?
+
Prices start at $43 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 Akshardham Temple Evening Tour with Musical Fountain Show take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Akshardham Temple Evening Tour with Musical Fountain Show worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 18 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 Akshardham Temple Evening Tour with Musical Fountain Show?
+
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 Akshardham Temple Evening Tour with Musical Fountain Show suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Akshardham Temple Evening Tour with Musical Fountain Show?
+
Around 6 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Akshardham Temple Evening Tour with Musical Fountain Show 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.
What is included in Akshardham Temple Evening Tour with Musical Fountain Show?
+
Included: Bottled water; Professional guide; Other; Snacks; and Sound and Light show (Water Show). Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Akshardham Temple Evening Tour with Musical Fountain Show?
+

What languages is Akshardham Temple Evening Tour with Musical Fountain Show offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese, English, Italian and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Akshardham Temple Evening Tour with Musical Fountain Show?
+
