    Gained massive appreciation for old Delhi on this unforgettable tour

    I’ve been on dozens if not hundreds of walking tours in cities all over and this might have been the coolest one ever. The guides couldn’t have been more friendly, generous, and fun to hang out with. We walked down allies we would have never found on our own, tried food we’d never heard of and would have never found or ordered, and gained an appreciation for old Delhi, which I’d visited before. I learned a lot and had tons of fun. I doubt this is typical and wonder if they even want us to share this, but we were having so much fun that the three hour tour turned into a 6-hour hang sesh

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for such an incredible review! To hear that our tour stood out among the hundreds you’ve experienced around the world truly means the world to our team. Taking guests through hidden alleys, introducing unique local flavors, and revealing the authentic soul of Old Delhi is what we love most. Time certainly flies when you’re sharing great food, stories, and laughter! At Ar India tour, You explore we guide. We are so grateful you chose to explore Delhi with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in India soon! #ArIndiaTour #OldAndNewDelhi #ExploreDelhi #HiddenGems #DelhiFoodTour #TravelersChoice #TopRated #IncredibleIndia #UnforgettableExperiences

    Misleading

    Viator are not service oriented. Booked for 1.10pm no guide turned up an no refund. Found not clear in their promo material

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. However, after reviewing the booking details, we would like to clarify that the option selected was our "Guide Only" package, which does not include a private vehicle or driver. This information was clearly stated in the tour description and booking inclusions at the time of purchase. We also worked with Viator's support team to review the situation and provided a refund as a gesture of goodwill. Unfortunately, it was not possible to provide a private car and driver service for the amount paid under the selected package. We always strive to be transparent about what is included in each tour option and encourage travelers to carefully review the package details before booking. We wish you all the best in your future travels.

    Half Day Tour of Old and New Delhi

    We had a half-day layover in Delhi, and this was a perfect way to spend our time here. We were met by our driver Sakil and our guide Riyaz at the airport and they took us to see the sites of both Old and New Delhi. Riyaz was very knowledgeable and personable, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide of this great city. 10 out of 10 stars, and I would recommend to anyone and everyone. Thanks for a great day out.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much! We are thrilled that Sakil and Riyaz could provide the perfect, seamless airport layover tour for you. Delivering a 10/10 experience while maximizing your limited time in Old and New Delhi is exactly what we aim for at Ar India tour. We truly appreciate your highest recommendation and hope to guide you on a longer journey next time! #ArIndiaTour #Riyaz #Sakil #DelhiLayoverTour #AirportTransit #DelhiPrivateTour #YouExploreWeGuide

    Old & New Delhi Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated): questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Old & New Delhi Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2 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 Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated) take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 95 out of 100, which we label "Peak Performance". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 780 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. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Old & New Delhi Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated)?

    +

    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 Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Old & New Delhi Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated)?

    +

    Around 273 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Old & New Delhi Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated) 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, 3-Day Private Golden Triangle Tour Delhi Agra Jaipur & Taj Mahal. 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 & New Delhi Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated)?

    +

    Included: Monument entrance tickets (if All-Inclusive option selected); Tuk-tuk ride in Old Delhi (if All-Inclusive option selected); Bottled water; Hotel or airport pickup and drop-off (if car option selected); and Private air-conditioned car with driver (if option selected). Not included: Meals; Gratuities; and Personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Old & New Delhi Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated) include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is Old & New Delhi Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated) offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Hindi, German, Russian, Japanese, English, Italian, French, Urdu and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Old & New Delhi Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated)?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Old & New Delhi Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated) wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Old & New Delhi Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated) if the weather is bad?

    +
