Fantastic tour of the Qutub Minar
The trip was flawlessly organised by Mrs. Anu. The driver, Mr. Vikash and the tour guide, Mr. Shiv Shankar were very extremely professional. We were picked up at the Delhi airport on time and transported to the Qutub Minar, where the guide met us and displayed his tremendous knowledge of history about the landmark in his description about the place. He was not rushed and patiently explained while answering all our questions to the best extent possible. The guide's English was adequate and helped us travellers from the US to understand and appreciate the monument's rich history. It was overall a very well put together agenda by Mrs. Anu and her staff. I would highly recommend this company to everyone else and I wish them good luck as yours start opening up after the pandemic.
Response from the operator: Dear Ganesh, Thank you for this amazing review. We are extremely glad to know that you enjoyed the tour with us. We are grateful for your words of appreciation and for recommending us. Hope you try our other tours as well in the future. Cheers GeTS Team

Do your own homework
Most of sites are good. Guide are knowledgeable for most of the sites, except Lodhi street art district. Guide has never been there, and wasn't able (or not patient enough) to show all of them.

The best day ever
Truly excellent guide, Kiran Singh, and Mr Amit the driver was brilliant. Kiran was so informative and friendly. We covered so much ground and everything seemed effortless. If I was to re-book the tout there is nothing at all I would change about the day other than book an extra day. It was a fantastic experience and I can not recommend Kiran or Mr Amit more highly.
Response from the operator: Dear Lucy, This review means so much, thank you. Glad you had a great time exploring some wonderful attractions. Best Regards, Team GeTS Holidays

A well put together tour
We were met in the hotel on time by our guide, Kiran Singh, and driver, Gurwinder Singh. The vehicle was in good condition with a fully functioning air conditioner, and was driven very well by Gurwinder through out the day.. Kiran was knowledgeable about all the places we visited and was able to explain all the facets in simple, understandable, and interesting terms.
Response from the operator: Dear Bertie, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us here. Glad to know that you loved exploring the city of Delhi with us. It was lovely having you as our guest and we would love to welcome you again in the near future. Warm Regards, Team GeTS Holidays

Great private half day tour
We wanted to see the red fort and humayans tomb and end up by a restaurant we had booked for lunch. Are guide was very friendly as well as our driver. We did the sites we asked for and had enough time to go to the markets by the red fort. We were dropped off for lunch and were told the driver would wait for us and take us back to our hotel afterwards. We will definitely book them again when we return to Delhi.
Response from the operator: Dear Nickie, Thank you for sharing your lovely feedback with us. We are glad to learn that you enjoyed your Delhi sightseeing tour and had a great time in the capital city. It was great having you as our guest and we would also love to welcome you again in the future. Warm Regards, Team GeTS Holidays

Plan your own Sightseeing Tour in Delhi with Guide & Transport: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does Plan your own Sightseeing Tour in Delhi with Guide & Transport cost?
+
Prices start at $42 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 Plan your own Sightseeing Tour in Delhi with Guide & Transport take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Plan your own Sightseeing Tour in Delhi with Guide & Transport worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 8 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 Plan your own Sightseeing Tour in Delhi with Guide & Transport?
+
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 Plan your own Sightseeing Tour in Delhi with Guide & Transport suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Plan your own Sightseeing Tour in Delhi with Guide & Transport?
+
Around 3 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Plan your own Sightseeing Tour in Delhi with Guide & Transport 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.
