The rickshaw squeezes through Chandni Chowk as vendors call out, saffron and cardamom scents drifting over metal carts; across town wide boulevards of New Delhi sit cool and formal beneath plane trees. This full-day private tour stitches those contrasts together — narrow lanes, Mughal mosques, and Lutyens-era government circles — into a single, manageable route.
