Disappointing tour
Was booked for whole day tour but with guide only lasted just 4 hrs. Pick up from hotel was 30mins late and just a taxi without guide who met us at was listed as second stop. He missed out Gurudwara , spice market was just a shop, didn’t do 30 mins at India gate, didn’t show step well , just showed us Lotus temple through some railings not 1 hr visit and was more interested in taking us to a carpet shop after which he went home on a tuk tuk and left us in taxi to hotel. So sorry to say I can not recommend this tour. You’re better off getting a tuk tuk from hotel for the day at fraction of cost to do all the sights you want!
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely regret that your experience did not meet expectations, as this is not the level of service we aim to provide. Please accept our apologies for the delayed pickup, the confusion regarding the guide meeting point, and for the key sites and experiences that were missed or shortened during your tour. A full-day experience should always be well-paced, comprehensive, and aligned with the itinerary, and we understand your disappointment. Your comments regarding the stops, time allocation, and the visit to the shop have been taken very seriously and are being reviewed internally with our team to ensure this does not happen again. We would also like to clarify that any shopping stops are never mandatory, and the guide is expected to remain with guests until the end of the tour while delivering a complete and seamless experience. We truly value your feedback as it helps us improve and we would appreciate the opportunity to make things right.

Best Tour in Delhi
We had a fantastic experience touring Delhi with our guide Gurvinder and driver Brajkishor. Gurvinder was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing the rich history and culture of each site with enthusiasm and clarity. His passion for the city made every stop engaging and meaningful. Brajkishor, our driver, was equally impressive—navigating Delhi’s bustling streets with skill and calm, especially when we hopped into a tuk tuk for a fun and authentic local ride. Both were professional, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the day. Highly recommend them for anyone visiting Delhi!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your Delhi tour with Gurvinder and Brajkishor. We’ll be sure to share your feedback with them, and we look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit!

Amazing Delhi tour
I just wanted to take a moment to express my deepest appreciation for the incredible tour you gave us in Delhi. From the very first moment we met, your passion for the city and its history was so evident, and it truly made the experience stand out. Your knowledge of Delhi is remarkable, and the way you shared stories, insights, and details made it all come alive in a way we never expected. We were especially thrilled to visit some hidden gems, spots that we would have never discovered on our own. Those little treasures added so much depth to our understanding of Delhi. Beyond the history and sights, what really made the tour unforgettable was your warmth and hospitality. You made sure we were always comfortable and had everything we needed, and you were always ready with answers to our endless questions. Your friendly nature really created a welcoming atmosphere and made us feel like we were exploring the city with an old friend. Thanks to you, our time in Delhi was not just educational but also truly enjoyable. We’ll carry the memories of this trip with us for a long time, and we’ll definitely be recommending your services to anyone heading to Delhi. You’ve made such a positive impact on our visit, and for that, we’re truly grateful. Once again, thank you for making our experience in Delhi so special. We appreciate everything you did for us!

Old & New Delhi City Tour – Half or Full Day Options Available: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does Old & New Delhi City Tour – Half or Full Day Options Available cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 & New Delhi City Tour – Half or Full Day Options Available take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 & New Delhi City Tour – Half or Full Day Options Available worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 34 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 & New Delhi City Tour – Half or Full Day Options Available?
+
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 & New Delhi City Tour – Half or Full Day Options Available suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Old & New Delhi City Tour – Half or Full Day Options Available?
+
Around 12 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Old & New Delhi City Tour – Half or Full Day Options Available 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.
