    Wonderful Taste of the City

    Faez was terrific! It was a cultural and religious experience. Sikh temple, a cultural foundation, and the historic mosque. The tuck tuck was also so memorable via the small streets, markets, and tea. We needed 450 rubees for the mosque. It was a wonderful half day experience to get the city tour before leaving India.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that Faez made your cultural and city tour so memorable. It’s great to know you enjoyed exploring the Sikh temple, cultural foundation, historic mosque, local markets, and the tuk-tuk ride through the city.

    Old Delhi Tour

    It was a very nice tour of old Delhi, we got to see a lot. We saw two temples, the spice market, and rode around in a took took. Our guide was named Faez and was very nice and informative. My only complaint is that we weren’t aware that the first temple required an admission fee that wasn’t included (400 rupees), and we didn’t have any cash on us. Faez was nice enough to pay for us and let us pay him back later.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful and detailed feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed exploring Old Delhi with Faez and appreciated his kindness and knowledge. We also apologize for the lack of clarity regarding the temple admission fee and appreciate your understanding. We’ll take your feedback into account to improve the experience for our guests. Thanks & Regards, India Taj Tours

    Delhi City Full or Half Day Tour: Explore Old & New Delhi: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.

    How much does Delhi City Full or Half Day Tour: Explore Old & New Delhi cost?

    +

    Prices start at $15 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 Delhi City Full or Half Day Tour: Explore Old & New Delhi take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Delhi City Full or Half Day Tour: Explore Old & New Delhi worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 195 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in New Delhi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Delhi City Full or Half Day Tour: Explore Old & 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 Delhi City Full or Half Day Tour: Explore Old & New Delhi suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Delhi City Full or Half Day Tour: Explore Old & New Delhi?

    +

    Around 68 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Delhi City Full or Half Day Tour: Explore Old & New Delhi 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.
