    A quick run around

    I had sort of half a day in Delhi on a Saturday, I had a few places I hadn't been, and this tour ticked all the boxes. Both Shailendra, the guide, and Ved the driver were Bob on time. We went past the India Gate and Parliament Ved slowing to a crawl so I could get some quick snaps in. Shailendra was a mine of information on the tour stops Dilli Hatt, Qutub Minar and the Lotus temple, but also kept the coveration moving along during the journey and we touched on the world economy, the US Presidential race, the health benefits of yoga, the Neme tree and various Natural Herbal remedies. A thoroughly enjoyable tour, the pace was good ( I am sadly no spring chiken) and the conversation informative and entertaining. Ved the driver was a very professional driver. At no time did I feel unsafe, no mean feat with Delhi traffic

    Well organized tour

    Delivered as promised and even made a few modifications based on our wishes and the way the day was going - I liked the local aspect of it - there were basically no questions our guide couldn't answer. Having one driver was wonderful too. We knew where to look for him when we were finished with a site. I'd recommend this tour company easily.

    Response from the operator: Dear Heidi, Thanks a lot for sharing your lovely feedback with us. Glad to learn that you loved our services and everything stood up to your expectations. Your appreciation and recommendation really mean a lot. Looking forward to welcoming you again in India. Regards from Team GeTS Holidays !!!

    Private Delhi Tour: Lotus Temple, Qutub Minar and Dilli Haat: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Delhi Tour: Lotus Temple, Qutub Minar and Dilli Haat 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 Private Delhi Tour: Lotus Temple, Qutub Minar and Dilli Haat 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 Delhi Tour: Lotus Temple, Qutub Minar and Dilli Haat worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 11 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 Delhi Tour: Lotus Temple, Qutub Minar and Dilli Haat?

    +

    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 Delhi Tour: Lotus Temple, Qutub Minar and Dilli Haat 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 Delhi Tour: Lotus Temple, Qutub Minar and Dilli Haat?

    +

    Around 4 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 Delhi Tour: Lotus Temple, Qutub Minar and Dilli Haat 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 is included in Private Delhi Tour: Lotus Temple, Qutub Minar and Dilli Haat?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Transport to/from all site locations by air-conditioned vehicle; Mineral water; and Professional Guide. Not included: Gratuities; Lunch; and Monument fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    What languages is Private Delhi Tour: Lotus Temple, Qutub Minar and Dilli Haat offered in?
