Excellent religion introduction
I had 24 hours in Delhi between flights and wanted to spend it learning about religions. Jai did an excellent job. He answered many of my questions before I could ask them and was happy to answer the questions I asked. I had a few activities I wanted to do which weren't on the default itinerary, but Jai was kind enough to create a custom itinerary for me. The day of the tour heavy rain happened but Jai did an excellent job adjusting the itinerary to accommodate. His English vocabulary and comprehension are excellent. I had trouble understanding a few words but he was always kind when I requested a repeat. I highly recommend Jai for a Delhi tour.
Response from the operator: Dear Ms Rene, It was a pleasure to serve you in Delhi. Many thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to post the review. We feel honoured to know that we were able to match your expectations during your tour. Hope to see you again! Best regards Jai Singh Discover Activities

Fascinating day with a great tour company
A company run by thorough gentlemen, they are so flexible and handle our queries very patiently, being new to Delhi we want to extract all the info beforehand. They answered all our queries and finally picked us up from our hotel in a clean and comfortable car. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and told us about many sites that we visited .

A must tour if you are visiting Delhi!!
Today we went on an 8 hour tour of Old and New Delhi…and I must say this was an experience of a lifetime! Jai had his driver pick us up at our hotel (nearly an hour from downtown). He joined us in town and the adventure began!! He took us to places that your average tour guide doesn’t venture to and we were able to experience the real Delhi… we saw a lost city and walked through the ruins in the woods, visited an old stepwell, visited a Buddhist Temple, had a delicious authentic Indian lunch, walked the streets of Old Delhi and rode a rickshaw to the spice market! Visited a hidden museum and jewelry maker. Jai was so accommodating, knowledgeable, and fun!! Don’t hesitate… book now!
Response from the operator: Dear Ms Deborah and Mr Jerry It was an honour to serve you in Delhi. Many thanks for the kind words of appreciation and time taken to post the review. We feel honoured to know that we were able to match your expectations during your tour. Hope to see you again. Best regards Jai Singh Discover Activities

Everything you could need to experience Delhi, and even more! Things you'd never find on your own!
Jai was fantastic and took us to so many unique and wonderful places. This was our first time to India and he helped us see everything we could wish to see in 8 hours and more! This was an incredible choice and Jai will not steer you wrong - recommended 10/10 for a one day trip to Delhi if you wish to see all sides of this crazy city!
Response from the operator: Dear Mikaela It was an honour to be at your service. Many thanks for the kind words of appreciation and time taken to post the review.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Tour of Offbeat Old and New Delhi with Hotel Pick Up: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does Full-Day Tour of Offbeat Old and New Delhi with Hotel Pick Up cost?
+
Prices start at $80 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 Full-Day Tour of Offbeat Old and New Delhi with Hotel Pick Up 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 Full-Day Tour of Offbeat Old and New Delhi with Hotel Pick Up worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 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 Full-Day Tour of Offbeat Old and New Delhi with Hotel Pick Up?
+
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 Full-Day Tour of Offbeat Old and New Delhi with Hotel Pick Up 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 Full-Day Tour of Offbeat Old and New Delhi with Hotel Pick Up?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Tour of Offbeat Old and New Delhi with Hotel Pick Up 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.
