Old & New Delhi · Private Tour
Delhi Sightseeing Tour by Car
Tour Overview
Experience the heart of India in a single day. Our Delhi Sightseeing Tour by Car weaves together the chaos and grandeur of Old Delhi and the leafy avenues of New Delhi, taking in the city’s greatest monuments with a private vehicle and an expert local guide. Unlike many city tours, this one includes your monument entry tickets and a memorable rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk.
You’ll see the mighty Red Fort and Jama Masjid, pay respects at Raj Ghat, admire India Gate, explore the UNESCO-listed Humayun’s Tomb and towering Qutub Minar, find calm at the Lotus Temple, and finish at the magnificent Akshardham Temple — a complete portrait of the capital, old and new.
Pair it with a day trip to the Taj on our Same Day Agra Tour by Car, or see all three Golden Triangle cities together on a multi-day tour.

Old Delhi & New Delhi in One Day
Few cities pack in as much history as Delhi. Within a single day you move from the Mughal grandeur of the Red Fort and Jama Masjid and the frenetic bazaars of Chandni Chowk, to the imperial avenues of Lutyens’ New Delhi around India Gate, and on to ancient marvels like the 12th-century Qutub Minar and the garden-tomb of Humayun that inspired the Taj Mahal.
Because the tour is private, the pace and emphasis are yours — spend longer in the old city, linger over photography at Humayun’s Tomb, or add time at Akshardham. The most comfortable months to explore on foot are October to March.
