Old & New - enjoy unravelling two contrasting faces of delightful Delhi. In addition to the popular sites, we visit some of the hidden gems of the city. Explore the walled city of Shahjahanabad on a walking tour. Popularly known as Old Delhi, it dates back to the 16th century. Spread across a maze of alleys, Old Delhi is known for its traditional & colourful bazaars - full of character & high in spirit. After jostling with the hustle and bustle of the old quarter, we now switch over to the relatively modern side of India's capital. New Delhi with its British built buildings, tree-lined avenues, relaxed hangout spots and contemporary cafes is in complete contrast to the cosmic chaos of old Delhi. Grab a cup of coffee and spend some time relaxing at a popular spot which not many tourists would know. There are some hidden gems of the city and we unveil those only after you have joined the tour. These attractions are safe, open to the public and easily accessible.

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Contrasts of Old and New Delhi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does Contrasts of Old and New Delhi cost?
+
Prices start at ₹2,750 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 Contrasts of Old and New Delhi 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 Contrasts of Old and New Delhi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Contrasts of Old and New Delhi?
+
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 Contrasts of Old and New Delhi 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 Contrasts of Old and New Delhi?
+
Around 0 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 Contrasts of Old and New Delhi start and how do I get there?
+

What are the best things to do in New Delhi?
+

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.
