With a professional guide and private car at your service, this tour offers a personalized experience that blends the chaos and charm of the old with the elegance and structure of the new.

Begin your journey in Old Delhi, the historic heart of the city built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. Walk through the bustling lanes of Chandni Chowk, a centuries-old market brimming with spices, textiles, street food, and local life. Enjoy a rickshaw ride through its narrow alleys, soaking in the energy and colors around you. Visit Jama Masjid, one of India’s largest mosques, known for its imposing structure and stunning views of the surrounding cityscape. A stop at the Red Fort (from the outside) gives you a glimpse into Mughal architectural brilliance and the seat of imperial power.

Continue on to Raj Ghat, the serene memorial of Mahatma Gandhi, where your guide will explain its significance and the simple yet powerful symbolism behind the site.

As the day progresses, shift gears and enter the wide boulevards and refined architecture of New Delhi. Drive past India Gate, the national war memorial, and admire the surrounding colonial-era buildings like Rashtrapati Bhavan (President’s House) and the Parliament House. Visit Humayun’s Tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that inspired the design of the Taj Mahal, and Qutub Minar, a 12th-century victory tower that showcases Indo-Islamic architecture at its finest.

The tour can include time for lunch at a recommended local restaurant, as well as optional stops for shopping or photo opportunities. Throughout the day, your guide will provide historical context, cultural insights, and engaging stories that bring Delhi’s past and present to life.

Whether it’s your first time in the city or you’re looking to explore its layers more deeply, this private tour offers a well-rounded, enriching experience of both Old and New Delhi in comfort and style.
