    Wonderful food tour of Old Delhi

    I had a blast doing this tour solo with Sonali and Lost Compass. She did a great job explaining all the different dishes and the history of the area! Also, she did a great job finding the best stops to make — I’m completely full! Highly recommend this tour.

    Response from the operator: We are pleased to host you and glad that you enjoyed the experience. Thank you for choosing The Lost Compass and we hope to see you again for a new adventure.

    Food Tour in Old Delhi

    A really fun and interesting tour. Eating local food of many different varieties was great. Being deep inside the market at Chandni Chowk was very fascinating and an experience that I won’t soon forget. Parul was a great guide. She was informative, accommodating and very helpful. Would definitely recommend.

    The Great Indian Food Tour in Old Delhi Food and Heritage tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.

    How much does The Great Indian Food Tour in Old Delhi Food and Heritage tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $43 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 The Great Indian Food Tour in Old Delhi Food and Heritage tour 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 The Great Indian Food Tour in Old Delhi Food and Heritage tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2,069 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in New Delhi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule The Great Indian Food Tour in Old Delhi Food and Heritage 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 The Great Indian Food Tour in Old Delhi Food and Heritage tour 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 The Great Indian Food Tour in Old Delhi Food and Heritage tour?

    +

    Around 724 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 The Great Indian Food Tour in Old Delhi Food and Heritage 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 The Great Indian Food Tour in Old Delhi Food and Heritage tour?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Snacks; Cycle Rickshaw/ Electric Rickshaw Ride / Tuk-Tuk Ride; Food and Drinks; and Entry Tickets and Fees. Not included: Shopping of any items in the market; and Hotel pick-up and drop off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for The Great Indian Food Tour in Old Delhi Food and Heritage tour?

    +

    We will meet you guys at gate 7 of Rajiv Chowk Metro station or in front of Uniqlo store Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is The Great Indian Food Tour in Old Delhi Food and Heritage tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for The Great Indian Food Tour in Old Delhi Food and Heritage tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to The Great Indian Food Tour in Old Delhi Food and Heritage tour if the weather is bad?

    +
