Fantastic tour customized to what I wanted to see
The perfect tour. I wanted very specific locations to take some photography as well as some recommended areas. My tour guide, Anchal was not only experienced in knowing the history of the locations, she was able to understand what type of scenario I was looking for. Overall a great experience! Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re glad Anchal made your tour special by understanding your photography needs and sharing her knowledge of the locations. We truly appreciate your recommendation. Thanks & Regards, India Taj Tours

Great tour of New Delhi
Did a 1/2 tour of New Delhi. Despite booking the day before, communication was instant which was great. Afzal gave me a great tour and was very knowledgable, and also took fantastic pictures. Mohsin was also a perfect driver and it was nice to be able to talk about both our passions for cricket. I highly recommend this tour and company
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re glad Afzal’s knowledge and photography, along with Mohsin’s smooth driving and company, made your New Delhi tour enjoyable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future. Thanks & Regards, India Taj Tours

I want a refund - unsafe tour for women
Just to preface the driver was lovely, our problem was with the guide Martin. The tour started 1 hr and 15 minutes late with no acknowledgement. We were not informed of this until I incessantly called Viator and the company. As the tour started the guide instantly started making weird racial comments about my appearance and it continued throughout the tour. We were very tired and only wanted to go to certain places hence booking this tour as we could make the decisions however he was not listening to us and attempted to take us to other places. It was not appropriate the times he held our hands to walk through the market as a male guide to two young female tourists. He also asked us about whether we had partners than proceeded to ask if we had the same one. It was a horrible experience as our first day in Delhi and to be frank it felt like we were being gaslit the whole day by a male as he was very patronising and offensive. This guide is not suitable for female tourists.
Response from the operator: Dear Haijing, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about your experience, especially as it happened on your first day in Delhi. This is not the kind of experience we want any of our guests to have. First, we sincerely apologize for the delay at the start of the tour and the lack of communication regarding the timing. We understand how frustrating this must have been and regret the inconvenience it caused. We are also extremely concerned by the behavior you described from the guide. The comments and actions you mentioned are completely unacceptable and do not reflect the standards of professionalism, respect, and guest safety that our company strictly upholds. After reviewing this matter internally, we have made the decision to immediately remove this guide from our roster and he will not be working with our company on any future tours. Your comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we deeply regret that you were made to feel uncomfortable during the tour. This should never happen. As a gesture of our sincere apology, we will be issuing you a full refund for the tour. Our team will process this through the booking platform and you should receive confirmation shortly. We truly appreciate you acknowledging the driver, and we are glad that part of the service was positive. However, we understand that this does not make up for the overall experience you had. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Feedback like yours is taken very seriously and helps us ensure that situations like this do not happen again. Sincerely, India Taj Tours

Very good tour of Delhi
Absolutely first class tour of the new and old parts of Delhi. We were only here for 2 days and spent one of those at the Taj Mahal. We were collected early by a very. I’ve driver in a clean car to get into the city before the traffic. Then abhishek rajak (paulo) joined us. He was our guide and was very nice, friendly and informative. He guided us through all of the gates and entrances at the various sights and even took our pictures for us using his experience of where to get the best pictures from. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to anyone who has a half day to spare.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Delhi Private City Tour: Customize your own: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does Delhi Private City Tour: Customize your own cost?
+
Prices start at $13 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 Private City Tour: Customize your own take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Private City Tour: Customize your own worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 26 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 Delhi Private City Tour: Customize your own?
+
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 Private City Tour: Customize your own suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Delhi Private City Tour: Customize your own?
+
Around 9 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Delhi Private City Tour: Customize your own 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 languages is Delhi Private City Tour: Customize your own offered in?
+
