History
Delhi’s core reflects centuries of imperial design—from Tughlaq and Mughal monuments to British-era Lutyens planning—visible in its layered architecture and memorials.
Conservation
High visitor numbers strain historic sites and urban green spaces; use refillable water, follow site rules, and avoid feeding wildlife to reduce impact.
Reserve your spot on the Private Customizable Delhi Sightseeing Tour with Guide today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Start early to avoid heat and crowds
Begin around 9 AM as suggested — morning visits to Jama Masjid and Chandni Chowk are cooler and less congested.
Carry a refillable water bottle
You’re provided bottled water, but a reusable bottle and knowledge of refill options keep you hydrated and reduce plastic waste.
Wear comfortable, grippy shoes
Expect cobbled lanes and temple steps; closed-toe shoes with good traction make long walking segments easier.
Plan for attraction closures
Many major sites close on Mondays and some national holidays—confirm openings when you customize the itinerary.
