Best way to experience Delhi
Wonderful experience and a MUST if you are visiting Delhi. Let me start by saying that traveling alone as a woman had me intimidated, but my driver Mr Omkar and my guide Sunil Kumar Podder made me feel completely safe and comfortable. The driver was always ready with cold bottled water and a cool car when we came from the different temples. My guide Sunil was extremely knowledgeable and funny. He knew about the different religions and allowed me to ask many questions, and sit to meditate for as long as I wanted. He was even able to take me inside the Sikh temple kitchens where I could see the food being prepared. He knew so much and seemed to know people everywhere we went. He helped me with navigating around the crowds and made lunch seem like a very fun and cultural event. He even tried to talk me through how to make the perfect curry! This was the best way I could have possibly spent my day in Delhi. Thank you Sunil and Omkar for a very positive memorable experience! Namaste

Fantastic Delhi city trip! Lots of fun and amazing temples to see! Must do trip!
Booked the private tour of the temples in Delhi for two people through Viator and could not have been happier! Our driver Raj picked us up in the morning and was very flexible when we asked for a couple more minutes to finish breakfast or when at the end of the day we wanted to get some snacks on the way back to our hotel although it was fairly late! Our tour guide Sunil was very knowledgeable about all the history of the city and flexible in helping us out on our first day in Delhi as needed ATMs, phone cards, sarees and more! The tour was great! We saw many amazing temples, such as the Sikh temple where they cook food for thousands of people! It was fascinating to see all the cooking equipment and we could join for some bread baking! Super fun and fascinating day!
Response from the operator: Dear Valuable Guest, Greetings and Good Morning !!! Thank you so much for giving us your most valuable time in giving your positive feedback for our team.

Informative, convenient
Very interesting to visit, experience, and learn about the different culture, sites / sights, and religious traditions. Well-organized logistics. Would be helpful to understand at the beginning who is involved in providing the tour (driver, guide, coordinator, etc.), and what exactly the agenda is for the day. Also did not know it is literally just one party of guests with the tour guide and driver. A dedicated service. Can be somewhat unusual given the possessions you may have and having to wait for the car with possessions in there. And can be odd to determine how, what, and if to provide a tip. Could be made more comfortable and less awkward. Overall though, tour was extremely informative, a lot of great knowledge and content. Better sense of the timing of the day would be helpful for pacing and knowing how much time to spend at each place, including for shopping. Additional context or guidance on the shopping area would be helpful. Very dedicated and helpful tour guide service, highly convenient to visit some interesting sites with rich culture. Just also note the somewhat peculiar set-up to be aware of as the only guest. Otherwise, the tour was overall effective in what the description indicated.

Exceptional
One of the most beautiful temples located in the suburbs of New Delhi. He deserves the detour and time. The only problems are the considerable time spent at security screening and especially the ban on taking photos. To do absolutely

Private Full Day Temple Tour in Delhi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does Private Full Day Temple Tour in Delhi cost?
+
Prices start at $52 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 Full Day Temple Tour in Delhi 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 Private Full Day Temple Tour in Delhi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 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 Full Day Temple Tour in Delhi?
+
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 Full Day Temple Tour in Delhi 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 Private Full Day Temple Tour in Delhi?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Full Day Temple Tour in Delhi 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 Full Day Temple Tour in Delhi?
+
Included: Monument entrance fees; Pickup offered from Airport or any other desired pickup location in Delhi, Noida or Gurugr; Professional private live tour guide; All Transfers/Sightseeing’s by air conditioned private vehicle; and Buffet Lunch. Not included: Drinks; and Gratuities (recommended). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Full Day Temple Tour in Delhi include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 462 listed pickup locations in and around New Delhi. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Full Day Temple Tour in Delhi offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Russian, Chinese, English, Italian, French 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 Private Full Day Temple Tour in Delhi?
+
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.
