What you'll see and do
Swaminarayan Akshardham
Start your tour with morning pickup at your hotel by your private driver, who takes you to Akshardham Temple to begin your tour of central Delhi’s spiritual sites. Opened in 2005, Akshardham Temple combines elements of a house of worship with a high-tech theme park. Inside the elaborate buildings, you can watch an IMAX film (OPTIONAL) about a child yogi from the 18th century; take a 12-minute boat ride through a diorama about 10,000 years of Indian history.
60 minutes here
Gurudwara Bangla Sahib
Your next stop is a revered Sikh temple, Gurudwara Bangla Sahib. Built in honor of the eighth Sikh guru, Har Krishan, the Gurudwara is known for its well, which is believed to contain healing waters. Meals are also a major feat here — every day in the Gurdwara kitchen (langar hall), volunteers prepare and serve meals for thousands of people.
30 minutes here
Sacred Heart Cathedral Church
Move on to one of the oldest church buildings in the city, Sacred Heart Cathedral, which Pope John Paul II visited twice during his papacy. Hear about the colonial officers of the British Empire who backed the construction of the church, which opened in 1934.
15 minutes here
Birla Mandir Temple (Lakshmi Narayan)
Continue to Birla Mandir Temple, also known as Lakshmi Narayan, a handsome red and gold temple decorated with intricate carvings. Learn about the temple's early disavowment of the caste system, and how Mahatma Gandhi attended the building’s inauguration in 1938. The powerful Birla family financed the temple’s construction, along with a dozen others throughout India.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour: Akshardham Temple and Spiritual Sites of Central Delhi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does Private Tour: Akshardham Temple and Spiritual Sites of Central Delhi cost?
+
Prices start at ₹3,300 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 Tour: Akshardham Temple and Spiritual Sites of Central Delhi take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Tour: Akshardham Temple and Spiritual Sites of Central Delhi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Tour: Akshardham Temple and Spiritual Sites of Central 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 Tour: Akshardham Temple and Spiritual Sites of Central Delhi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Akshardham Temple and Spiritual Sites of Central Delhi?
+
Around 0 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: Akshardham Temple and Spiritual Sites of Central 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 Tour: Akshardham Temple and Spiritual Sites of Central Delhi?

Not included: Guide inside Akshardham; Food and drinks, unless specified; Gratuities; and Tickets for any shows or exhibits. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Tour: Akshardham Temple and Spiritual Sites of Central Delhi include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 10001 listed pickup locations in and around New Delhi. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Tour: Akshardham Temple and Spiritual Sites of Central Delhi offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Russian, Japanese, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
