What you'll see and do
New Delhi
Your driver will pick you up from your hotel or airport in the morning and take you to meet your tour guide. You will head out to visit the tomb of the Mughal emperor, Humayun. The tomb, located in Nizamuddin East, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993, and was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent. The expected length of the visit is an hour. After, visit Qutab Minar, a soaring 73 meter tower, and the tallest brick minaret in the world. It was built in 1193 by Qutub-ud-din Aibak immediately after the defeat of Delhi’s last Hindu kingdom, and is also a UNESCO World Heritage site. The expected length of the visit is 45-minutes. Next up is the Lotus Temple (closed on Mondays), the last of seven major Bahai temples, and built in 1986 out of pure white marble. Around the blooming petals are nine pools of water which light up in natural light. The expected length of the visit is an hour. After the Lotus Temple visit you’ll be taken toward your luxurious lunch in the multi-cuisine, fully air-conditioned restaurant where you can get all the delicious flavors and delicacies of the city (at own expense). Next, visit Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India, with its courtyard capable of holding 25,000 devotees. It was begun in 1650 by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, and more than 5,000 workers toiled for six years to complete it. The expected length of the visit is 30-minutes. At the center of New Delhi stands the 42 meter India Gate, an Arc-de-Triomphe-like archway in the middle of a crossroad. It was built as a memorial to the 70,000 India soldiers killed in World War I. The gate was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and completed in 1931. The expected length of the visit is 15-minutes. After the gate, head to the Red Fort, constructed in 1648 by the 5th Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, and the residence of the emperor for about 200 years, until 1857. The Red Fort’s innovative architectural style, including its garden design, influenced later buildings and gardens in Delhi. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007. The expected length of the visit is an hour. In the evening you will be taken back your hotel, or airport, along with your cherished memories of the Delhi sightseeing tour.

Great day in Delhi
I had a wonderful day with Ajay who is an excellent tour guide and photographer and speaks perfect English. We visited both Delhi and New Delhi in one day and he's not only showing me around, but also explaining about all the history behind each site. Definitely 5 stars and recommends him to everyone who plans to visit Delhi

A great - personalized - experience
Ahamed was amazing! He knew the best vantage points to take photos, the most efficient way to access and navigate Old Delhi and New Delhi's major sites. He even helped me with mundane things like finding an ATM. The depth and breadth of knowledge he has to share is mine boggling and inspiring. I now want to find books to learn more about the history of Shah Jahan and Qutb Minar and the Delhi Sultanate. This was a safe and far deeper introduction to this amazing place than I otherwise could have experienced on my own.

Excellent in all aspects
Touring Delhi with our guide, Ajay, was a complete and wonderful surprise. We met an energetic, highly professional, fun and humorous guide — who also turned out to be a legendary driver, expertly navigating the twists and chaos of this vibrant city. Within a very short time, it became clear that Ajay has total command of Delhi: an intimate knowledge of every road, turn, and intersection, combined with impressive mastery of both up-to-date current information and fascinating historical insight. Ajay is also a gifted storyteller, deeply familiar with contemporary India as well as its rich history, and — quite remarkably — well versed in many topics related to Israel. He is exceptionally service-oriented and has an almost uncanny ability to anticipate travelers’ needs, often responding even before a question is asked. We recommend Ajay wholeheartedly and with full confidence to future travelers who choose to explore Delhi with him.

Excellent guide
I fell in love with Ajay even before we arrived in India – just from our messages! He is a kind and charming person with a genuine desire to help. Ajay picked us up from the airport and took us on a tour of both Old and New Delhi, showing us central and unique sites. He helped us exchange money at a good rate, guided us to delicious street food, and returned us safely to our hotel. Throughout the tour, Ajay shared his deep knowledge about India and its rich history. He is calm, polite, and made us feel completely safe, even within the chaotic traffic of Delhi — he didn’t honk even once, which is very rare! In short, we highly recommend Ajay. He made our first day in Delhi special and smooth.

Why this scores 82
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Old and New Delhi Sightseeing Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does Private Old and New Delhi Sightseeing Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 Old and New Delhi Sightseeing Tour 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 Old and New Delhi Sightseeing Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 49 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 Old and New Delhi Sightseeing Tour?
+
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 Old and New Delhi Sightseeing Tour 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 Old and New Delhi Sightseeing Tour?
+
Around 17 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 Old and New Delhi Sightseeing Tour 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 Old and New Delhi Sightseeing Tour?
+
Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Private tour; Professional Tour guide; Packaged mineral water; and Transport by air-conditioned private vehicle. Not included: Entrance fees; and Gratuities (Optional). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Old and New Delhi Sightseeing Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1559 listed pickup locations in and around New Delhi. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Old and New Delhi Sightseeing Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
