You step out of an air-conditioned sedan onto a stretch of stone and sun where history crowds the pavement—rickshaws weave through spice-scented lanes, and the Yamuna's plain presses the city flat and broad. This eight-hour private tour threads Old and New Delhi: the dense alleys of Chandni Chowk and the soaring minarets of Jama Masjid give way to the measured boulevards and colonial façades of Lutyens' Delhi.
