Morning traffic thins and the city yawns as an air-conditioned car pulls away from a Delhi hotel, the guide’s voice folding into the hum of the engine. The route threads between lanes of history — a rickshaw plunges into Chandni Chowk’s alleys, bells at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib call visitors to the sarovar, and the silhouette of Qutub Minar rises from a green lawn.

Reserve your spot on the Private Old and New Delhi Sightseeing Tour today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Dress modestly for religious sites
Carry a scarf or light shawl to cover shoulders and knees when visiting mosques and gurdwaras; shoes must be removed at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib.
Start early to avoid heat and crowds
Morning pickups (around 9:00) reduce time spent in heavy midday traffic and make markets and monuments easier to navigate.
Carry small change
Bring small bills or coins for rickshaw fares, street snacks, restroom fees and temple offerings to speed transactions.
Hydrate and limit single-use plastic
Bring a refillable water bottle; packaged water is sometimes provided, but refilling reduces waste in busy sites.

Sturdy shoes handle uneven pavements, steps, and long market walks.
