The Akshardham Temple is an...
<p>The Akshardham Temple is an absolutemust to see - it is one of the most beautiful temples on earth - our guide Neelan was marvellous and a very cultured and intelligent and gracious lady. The steps up to the Jama Masjid mosque were too much for us owing to our disabilities but we saw the Red Fort and then had a most fascinating ride in an auto-rickshaw through Old Delhi including Chadni Chowk.<br/> that ride was brought to life by our wonderful guide Neelan's great descriptions and accounts of Old Delhi's history, and present state of administration. It is unexpectedly very important as an international business centre as well. Neelan then took us to see the very historic St James Anglican Church in nearby Kashmere Gate, and then to the beautiful Gurudwara Bangla Sahib Sikh temple. She also read us a wonderful essay on the chaotic traffic and notorious driving in Delhi - it was so humorous that we could not stop laughing for ages -but it was so true!!</p>

Private Tour: Akshardham Temple and Spiritual Sites of Old 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 Old Delhi cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Old Delhi take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Old Delhi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 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 Old 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 Old Delhi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-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 Old 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: Akshardham Temple and Spiritual Sites of Old 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.
