Fascinating tour of old delhi
Our guide was very knowledgeable and thoughtful. The tour was incredibly interesting and really showed us a side of Delhi it would have been very difficult to access by ourselves.

Mother India at Her Finest
From the first message connecting with Pradeep I felt assured that my needs were heard and I had connected with a trust worthy person, willing to be flexible with the schedule to suit our needs. Travelling alone with my 3 young children, I wanted adventure, entertainment and above all care. Right from when we met our tour guide (exactly on time), Salman at our hotel I felt so happy to be connecting with such a kind, helpful and knowledgeable human. The kids adored Salman and we had the happiest day catching different local modes of transport and seeing sights that only Mother India can offer. Salman was so sweet and had eyes in the back of his head…. Always looking out for my kids, especially Maverick who is only 4. I would absolutely choose this tour company time and time again… thanks for the fun and care guys!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this beautiful review! ❤️ It truly means a lot to us to know that you felt comfortable, cared for, and well looked after while travelling with your three children. We completely understand that travelling alone with young children can be challenging, so it makes us especially happy to hear that you felt safe and supported throughout the day. Salman will be absolutely delighted to read your kind words! 😊 He is a wonderful guide and genuinely cares about the people he takes around Delhi. We’re so happy that your children enjoyed the different local modes of transport and experiences, and that Maverick was kept safe and looked after throughout the day. At Delhi by Locals, we believe that the best way to experience India is through its people, stories, and everyday life — and we’re thrilled that your family experienced that side of Delhi with us. Thank you for trusting us with such an important part of your family’s India journey. We would be delighted to welcome you all back to India anytime! 🇮🇳❤️ Warm regards, Pradeep & Team Delhi by Locals

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Old Delhi Tour with Local Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does Old Delhi Tour with Local Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $21 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 Tour with Local Experience 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 Tour with Local Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 211 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 Old Delhi Tour with Local Experience?
+
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 Tour with Local Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Old Delhi Tour with Local Experience?
+
Around 74 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 Tour with Local Experience 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 Tour with Local Experience?
+
Included: Rickshaw ride; Professional guide; Water Bottle; Local tea; and Metro ride. Not included: Gratuities; and Personal Shopping. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Please meet us at Rajiv Chowk metro station at gate number 8. It is in the inner circle of Connaught Place, next to Block A. Pick up from your hotel is available at extra cost. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Old Delhi Tour with Local Experience offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
