Amazing Touring Experience
Vivek was very helpful setting up the process of the tour and gave us a step by step guide for such a beautiful trip and tour. He provided us the drive name, car, time and expectations with an accurate and affordable price point. Furthermore the Vikas was such a wealth of information and thoughtful guide. Allowing us our freedom to explore while entertaining out historical inquiries. He also led us to great spots for shopping, food, and historical sites in new and old Delhi. The driver S N Pal, was a careful and fun driver to be with. He was attentive and careful with our journey who also shared some golden nuggets of the city. I highly recommend them and vouche for their services.
Response from the operator: Hi, We are incredibly grateful that you took the time to leave us a 5-Star review. We will share this with the entire team to let them know to keep up the amazing work. We look forward to serving you again soon. Kind Regards Sonia Handa +91-9971917676

New Delhi and Old Delhi tours were fantastic.
Joyful Holidays gave me a combined package of Agra and New Delhi. This also included a bicycle rickshaw tour of Old Delhi. Vivek laid out an itinerary for me. They picked me up from my hotel in Gurgaon going straight to Agra for two nights. The same driver, Gajendar, was with me the entire time and drove me back to New Delhi for 3 days of touring. I had a private tour guide in Agra for two days, Raj. He was an excellent tour guide. When I arrived in New Delhi my tour guide was Ajay. The tour guides are extremely knowledgeable of the history of India. There wasn't a question they couldn't answer. Both tour guides were very hospitable and made sure I had everything I needed at the end of the day (e.g. a good place to dine). Ajay even helped me get my COVID test results that were slightly delayed. Their customer service is above and beyond what was expected, which made for an extremely pleasant tour. India, I shall return!
Response from the operator: Dear Derrick Sir, Thank you for writing extensive feedback for our company on Tripadvisor. Your review helps spread word to many people about the good services that we provide to our "Valued Guests". We always strive to show our guests more of our culture, and heritage, and to provide them with good arrangements, be it car, driver, tour guides, or hotels. We would love to show you more of the "Hidden Gems" of India on your next visit to India. Regards, Ms. Sonia Handa Senior Travel Expert

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 $129 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 7 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 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 7-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 1 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 7-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.
