Why Choose a Private Delhi Sightseeing Tour in One Day?
Delhi is a city of contrasts—ancient forts and mosques sit side by side with colonial buildings and modern landmarks. Exploring all of this in a single day can be daunting on your own. A private full day Old and New Delhi city tour solves that problem.
Benefits of Going Private:
- Custom itinerary based on your interests
- Comfortable air-conditioned vehicle
- Professional driver for hassle-free travel
- Licensed English-speaking guide
- Skip-the-line entry
- Doorstep pickup and drop-off from your hotel or airport
Instead of juggling maps and fighting traffic, you sit back and soak in Delhi’s stories, colors, and culture—all in a single, unforgettable day.
Morning: Explore the Charms of Old Delhi
Your day typically starts around 8:00 AM. After pickup from your hotel, the tour begins in Old Delhi—a historic area once the heart of Mughal India.
Key Highlights in Old Delhi:
- Jama Masjid
The largest mosque in India, built by Shah Jahan in 1656. Climb the minaret for a panoramic view of the old city. - Chandni Chowk Bazaar
A maze of narrow lanes filled with spices, sweets, fabrics, and more. A rickshaw ride through the bazaar is a must for the full Old Delhi experience. - Red Fort (Lal Qila)
This UNESCO World Heritage Site served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors. Admire its red sandstone architecture and sprawling gardens. - Raj Ghat
A serene memorial to Mahatma Gandhi. The simplicity of the black marble platform is a powerful reminder of India’s peaceful struggle for independence.
You’ll have the option to enjoy breakfast or tea at a heritage café before continuing to New Delhi.
Afternoon: Discover the Grandeur of New Delhi
After the morning hustle of Old Delhi, your guide will take you to the greener, more spacious area of New Delhi, designed by British architect Edwin Lutyens.
New Delhi Must-Sees:
- India Gate
A 42-meter-tall war memorial that honors soldiers of the Indian Army. Great for photos, especially during sunset. - President’s House & Parliament Buildings
Drive past Rashtrapati Bhavan and the circular Parliament House to admire colonial-era architecture. - Humayun’s Tomb
Another UNESCO site and a forerunner of the Taj Mahal. The Persian-style gardens make this an ideal photo spot. - Qutub Minar
One of the tallest minarets in the world, made of red sandstone and marble. Surrounded by ruins and ancient inscriptions. - Lotus Temple (Baháʼí House of Worship)
A striking modern structure shaped like a lotus flower. Open to all religions, it’s a place of quiet reflection.
Optional Add-Ons & Customization
Depending on your interests and pace, you can include:
- Lunch at a traditional Indian restaurant (included in packages)
- Visit to Akshardham Temple (note: closed on Mondays)
