6 highlights in a day.
Our driver and guide, mr. Girdhar Singh, did a great job. The driver navigated like a pro through the traffic. Fabulous job! And our guide was enthousiastic, graceous and friendly. He gave us ample information at every site and in between the visits we got extra background on Indian culture. We had planned this tour on the 1st day in Delhi and this turned out to be a good idea. We got to see the 6 sites we’d selected and the drive from one to another gave us an idea of the town. So by the second day we had some points of recognition.
Response from the operator: Dear Alain, Thanks for sharing your feedback and photographs. We are so happy to know that you enjoyed the trip and that we could meet your expectations. Would pass on your kind words to the driver and guide as well. Will look forward to welcoming you again in India.

Good way to see more of Delhi!
Highly recommended! It might be cheaper to see the sights on your own; however, since we were on vacation, we preferred to book a private tour so we could be in an air conditioned private car all day with water provided (it was VERY hot). In addition, we were 3 women and did not speak the language, so a professional guide was very helpful. Our guide, Dev, was fantastic! He provided excellent explanation and photography and was very nice. It was like traveling with another friend, who was knowledgeable in all the sights. The driver, Mr. Muudhi, did not speak as much English, but was always punctual, professional, and friendly. They even took us to a few extra stops and made sure we were completely satisfied with our visit before dropping us off. Lunch is not included, but they drop you off at a recommended restaurant, depending on your preference.
Response from the operator: Hi, First of all, we would like to thank you for your kind words. Glad to hear that you were satisfied with our services. Moreover, thank you for sharing your feedback- it is because of your feedbacks which prompts us to push ourselves towards perfection! Furthermore, we really appreciate you taking out time and writing this review for us. Hope to get another chance to assist you again! Regards, Team Delhi Airport Service Pvt. Ltd.

<p>One of the most convenient, and enjoyable ways to have a quick glance into Delhi. The places we picked were amazing and our guide was fabulous unfortunately I lost the piece of paper with his name on it. He was full of so much knowledge, and had a real passion for the places he showed us. The car accommodation was very well looked after, the driver was fabulous, and we have so many memories from this trip. Highly recommend.</p>

<p>This tour was quite misleading - as some of the listed choices were not suitable for day visits eg Hauzkaas is a clubbing district, with nothing to see in the day. This is a Viator complaint nothing to do with local provider. The guide did help us with that and suggested alternatives... and in fact said we could tailor the day to anywhere we like - most of which were great. However one of those alternatives was a trip to his friend selling Kashmir carpets for several thousand pounds. We were led into a room under the ruse of visiting 'an interesting higher quality market' - only to find it was a timeshare style lock-in sales pitch. Very annoying and and time wasting and we were not impressed. <br/> Another Viator issue - grossly overpriced. Most of the options listed here were free entry or minimal charge - and the travel cost is nothing in Delhi - so again massively inflated rip off for tourists, to line Viator's already heavy pockets.</p>

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Custom tour of Delhi (choose from 18 places to visit): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does Private Custom tour of Delhi (choose from 18 places to visit) cost?
+
Prices start at $71 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 Private Custom tour of Delhi (choose from 18 places to visit) take?
+
Plan for about 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 Private Custom tour of Delhi (choose from 18 places to visit) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 9 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 Private Custom tour of Delhi (choose from 18 places to visit)?
+
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 Private Custom tour of Delhi (choose from 18 places to visit) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Custom tour of Delhi (choose from 18 places to visit)?
+
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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Custom tour of Delhi (choose from 18 places to visit) 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.

Not included: Food and drinks, unless specified; Red Fort is not included; Monument Entrance Fee (wherever applicable); and Sides in Old Delhi are NOT included.
