    Worst experience ever!

    This tour doesn’t exist now and should be delisted from Tripadvisor and Viator. We booked a trip for 3 people and no one showed up. When we tried to contact them on the number given, no one took our calls. We have asked for a refund. Hope to get that back soon!

    Unprofessional tour guide

    Me and my family book this tour to get a chance to see the old town in Delhi unfortunately the guide never showed up. We waited an half hour and during that time we called and texted the guide so many times. In the end he finally texted back and just said I wont come because of he did not feel well. It was really disappointing and so sad we could not do the tour. The guide was not professional at all and I wished he could cancelled the tour before hand.

    Rich Experience

    Such a big experience. I was told it was the slow season but it seemed incredibly busy to me. With the crazy traffic upon traffic upon, a knowledgeable guide is needed to ensure you both see everything and not get lost. John was excellent. He took me to places where he was known even buying some groceries for his home at one market. We visited many markets: spice, food, clothing... everything. Recommend exploring Old Delhi with a guide (John) to ensure the richness the area provides.

    The best walking tour of Delhi! Secret courtyards and rooftops too!

    Anu was the best tour guide we could imagine. He is extremely knowledgable and has a gift of storytelling about his city. He showed us secret courtyards and rooftop viewpoints that we would have never stumbled upon ourselves. He gave us amazing insight into his town. He showed us the market, including a spice market taking over an old palace, and a single street which was home to places of worship for the Hindu, Jain, Sikh, Muslim and Christian religions. Anu also showed us the NGO which had taken him in when he was a young boy and given him schooling that helped him to become the incredible tour guide he is today. On top of all this, Anu is an incredibly kind and warm soul and it was a pleasure to spend the morning with him. If we were staying in Delhi for longer we would have asked to do more tours with him! Picking Anu as your tour guide for Old Delhi is the best decision you can make in this city.

    Old Delhi Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Old Delhi Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $23 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 Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 17 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 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 Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Old Delhi Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 6 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Old Delhi 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 happens to Old Delhi Walking Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in New Delhi. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Old Delhi Walking Tour?

    +

    Across 17 reviews averaging 4.5 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, knowledge and storytelling, food and drink. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
