Jai Singh paced the tour nicely, giving enough time for us to look around and feel the atmosphere of Jama Masjid, the narrow alleys of the old town and the markets. He gave us an excellent introduction to the rich history, food and culture.

An awesome tour with Jai!
Don’t think twice and book this tour! It was honestly one of the highlights of our time in Delhi. Jai, our tour guide, was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and thoughtful. He took us to places we never would have been able to find or experience on our own, and I really appreciated how seamlessly he navigated all of the communication along the way. From the rickshaw rides to the little unexpected touches—like receiving flowers at the end, everything made the experience feel very special. Old Delhi and its neighborhoods can definitely feel overwhelming, especially if you’re visiting for the first time, but having Jai with us made everything feel easy, comfortable, and seamless. I’m so glad we decided to do this tour and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Delhi!
Response from the operator: Dear Ms Seda, It was a pleasure to serve you and your friends in Old Delhi. Thank you for the kind words of appreciation and the time you took to post the review.

Great trip through Old Delhi
I’m a solo female traveller and my accomodation arranged this for me the day I arrived into Delhi. Jae was an excellent guide and I felt very safe taking in the sights, the smells and the sounds of this incredible part of the city. A good balance of culture and food, calm and chaos. Thanks for a lovely afternoon.
Response from the operator: Dear Ms Val, It was a pleasure to serve you in Old Delhi. Thank you for the kind words of appreciation and the time you took to post the review. I feel honoured to know that I was able to match your expectations. Hope to see you again! Best Regards - Jai Singh

Why this scores 89
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Old Delhi Heritage Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does Old Delhi Heritage Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $19 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 Old Delhi Heritage Walking Tour 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 Old Delhi Heritage Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 298 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 Old Delhi Heritage Walking Tour?
+
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 Old Delhi Heritage Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 7. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Old Delhi Heritage Walking Tour?
+
Around 104 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 Old Delhi Heritage Walking Tour 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 Old Delhi Heritage Walking Tour?

Not included: Hotel pickup and drop (if booked the option: "Guide Only & NO Pickup drop"; any food, drinks; and Jama Masjid Entry fee (BUT if you book under the option "Entry included", then we will pay.

Where is the meeting point for Old Delhi Heritage Walking Tour?
+
Guide meets at Exit gate no 1 of "Jama Masjid" metro station. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
