Private Full Day Old and New Delhi City Tour
Delhi isn’t just a city — it’s a living, breathing museum where the past and present dance together on the same streets. A private full-day Old and New Delhi city tour is one of the best ways to truly experience this fascinating capital. You get the comfort of a personal guide and car, the flexibility to move at your own pace, and the richness of exploring both historic Old Delhi and the modern, imperial charm of New Delhi.

Why Choose a Private Full-Day City Tour?
A private tour is tailored just for you. No rushing through sites. No sticking to a group schedule. Just you, your guide, your curiosity, and one epic city. It’s ideal for first-timers, families, couples, or even solo travelers who want an insider's look into Delhi’s soul.

What’s Covered in the Old and New Delhi Tour?
Morning: Exploring Old Delhi
Start your day with a deep dive into Old Delhi — the chaotic, colorful, and historical heart of the city.

1. Jama Masjid
Begin at one of India’s largest mosques. With its massive domes and towering minarets, Jama Masjid is a marvel of Mughal architecture.

2. Rickshaw Ride Through Chandni Chowk
No trip to Old Delhi is complete without a rickshaw ride through the buzzing lanes of Chandni Chowk. It’s a maze of spice markets, textile shops, sweet stalls, and hidden temples. The smells, sounds, and colors will leave you speechless (and hungry!).

3. Red Fort (Lal Qila)
Drive past or opt to explore inside this iconic 17th-century fort built by Emperor Shah Jahan. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a powerful symbol of Indian history.

4. Raj Ghat
Pay respects at Mahatma Gandhi’s memorial, set amidst peaceful gardens along the Yamuna River.

Afternoon: Discovering New Delhi
Next, shift gears and head into the wide boulevards and green spaces of New Delhi — built by the British as the capital of colonial India.

5. India Gate
This 42-meter-high war memorial honors Indian soldiers who died in World War I. It’s surrounded by lush lawns, perfect for a photo break.

6. Rashtrapati Bhavan (Presidential Residence)
Admire the grand residence of the President of India from the outside. It’s a beautiful blend of Mughal and Western architectural styles.

7. Parliament House and Government Buildings
Drive past these impressive British-era buildings that define the administrative power of India.

8. Humayun’s Tomb
Often referred to as a mini-Taj Mahal, this Mughal masterpiece predates the Taj and is equally stunning in design and symmetry.

9. Qutub Minar
End your day with a visit to the world’s tallest brick minaret — a UNESCO World Heritage Site surrounded by ancient ruins and stories from centuries ago.
