Delhi Tours — Private Sightseeing, Food Walks and Heritage Trails
Delhi is really two cities stitched together — the walled Mughal capital of Old Delhi, dense with markets and mosques, and the planned, spread-out New Delhi the British built around it. Seeing both properly in one visit needs a guide who knows which streets are worth the walk and which sights are worth skipping.
The tours below are grouped by what they cover: a single full day taking in both halves of the city, a food-focused walk through Old Delhi's lanes, and half-day tours for temples and archaeological sites if a full day is more than you need.

Full-day sightseeing
An eight-hour route covering both halves of the city: the Red Fort, Jama Masjid and Chandni Chowk in Old Delhi, then India Gate, Qutub Minar and Humayun's Tomb in New Delhi. This is the tour to pick if you have one day in Delhi and want the complete picture rather than a partial one.
Old Delhi food and heritage
Chandni Chowk rewards slow walking more than any other part of the city — its food stalls, spice market and side-alley havelis don't work as a drive-by. The food walk below covers ten-plus tastings with a guide who knows which stalls are actually worth the calories; the half-day tour trades some of the eating for more of the architecture.
Temple and spiritual sites
Delhi's major temples — Akshardham, the Lotus Temple, Gurudwara Bangla Sahib among them — sit well outside Old Delhi's walking radius, so a tour built specifically around them, with a car between stops, is the practical way to see more than one in a day.
Getting to Agra from Delhi
Most visitors treat Delhi as the base for a Taj Mahal day trip. The choice between car, train and flight comes down to how much of your day you want to spend travelling — our full comparison covers timing and cost for each option.
What is included
A private air-conditioned car with driver, an English-speaking guide, and hotel pickup and drop-off within Delhi are standard across these tours. Monument entry tickets and meals are called out individually on each tour page — check the included/excluded list before booking.
Frequently asked questions
How many days do I need to see Delhi properly?
One full day covers the major landmarks in both Old and New Delhi if you're moving efficiently with a private car. Two days gives you room to add the food walk, a temple tour, and some unhurried time in Chandni Chowk without rushing.
Is Old Delhi safe to walk around?
Yes, with a guide. The lanes are narrow, dense and easy to get turned around in on your own, which is the main reason people find it stressful rather than any real safety concern. A local guide navigates it the way someone who grew up there would.
Can I combine a Delhi city tour with a Taj Mahal day trip?
Yes — most visitors do Delhi sightseeing on one day and the Taj Mahal as a separate day trip, since both are full days on their own. See our Taj Mahal tours for the Agra side of that combination.
