Great trip
Very good trip. 5/5 would recommend!
via Tripadvisor
Great tour and kind staff!
The tour was brilliantly arranged. The driver Pankaj and the guide Pankaj took us to the Swaminarayan Akshardham on a AC vehicle. They showed us many interesting spots along the way. The visit to the temple was awesome and very interesting. The guide gave us plenty of details and allowed us to dedicate time at our own pace. Unfortunately we could not take pictures because visitors are not allowed to bring cameras, phones and other electronics inside the temple. They finally took us also to a local handicrafts shop. Absolutely recommended!!

I wish I could relive this experience
It begins with knowledgeable driver, Pankaj and guide, Prakash - both fantastic, very good English, highly professional and really good company. I rate this highly for the experience even though there are 2 downsides 1) strict guidelines prohibit any phones or cameras which is ok in itself as there was an A4, 35 page book with photos to capture this - a must buy for a very modest amount. 2) the light and water show was stunning telling a story which I couldn’t understand. Prakash did explain the story well but this story could be captured in the booklet along with water show photos. Still sticking to my 5* review.

Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple - Private Visits with Tour Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple - Private Visits with Tour Guide cost?
+
Prices start at ₹2,000 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 Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple - Private Visits with Tour Guide take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple - Private Visits with Tour Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 44 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 Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple - Private Visits with Tour Guide?
+
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 Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple - Private Visits with Tour Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple - Private Visits with Tour Guide?
+
Around 15 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple - Private Visits with Tour Guide 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.
