Whether it’s your first visit to India or you’re a seasoned explorer, this full-day Delhi sightseeing tour is the ideal introduction to the soul of India. Designed for international travelers, this tour offers a safe, comfortable, and culturally rich experience—balancing history, architecture, religion, food, and modern life.
Explore both Old Delhi—the historical, chaotic, and soul-stirring heart of the Mughal empire—and New Delhi, the orderly, spacious, and grand city planned by the British during colonial rule.
Begin your day with a warm welcome by your guide and driver. You’ll be picked up from your hotel or the airport in a clean, air-conditioned vehicle.
One of India’s largest mosques, this 17th-century marvel by Shah Jahan (the builder of the Taj Mahal) offers panoramic views of Old Delhi from its minaret. Walk through its grand courtyard and absorb the spiritual atmosphere.
Dive into Delhi’s living history as you ride a cycle rickshaw through narrow, bustling streets. From fragrant spice markets to traditional jewelry shops and street food stalls, Chandni Chowk is a sensory delight.
View the majestic Red Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was once the center of Mughal power. Its red sandstone walls and ornate gates stand as a symbol of India’s rich history.
A moving tribute to India’s soldiers, the India Gate is surrounded by lawns and fountains. It’s a solemn but beautiful place for photos and remembrance.
Admire the grandeur of Lutyens’ Delhi as you drive past Rashtrapati Bhavan, the official residence of the President of India, and Parliament House, both masterclasses in colonial architecture.
1:00 PM – Lunch Break (Optional)
Lunch is not included, but your guide can recommend a safe, clean, and tourist-friendly restaurant. For U.S. travelers, we recommend trying Mughlai or North Indian cuisine—but international options are also available.
The architectural precursor to the Taj Mahal, Humayun’s Tomb is an exquisite Mughal-era mausoleum set in serene gardens. A UNESCO World Heritage Site that’s peaceful and inspiring.
This soaring 73-meter high tower, built in 1193, is another UNESCO site and a symbol of Delhi’s Indo-Islamic past. Explore the ruins around the minaret and see carvings that have stood for centuries.
Famous for its flower-like design, this Bahá’í House of Worship is open to people of all faiths. Its quiet, peaceful space offers a moment of spiritual calm in a bustling city.
End the day with a visit to Dilli Haat, a lively open-air market with handicrafts from across India. Shop for souvenirs, handmade textiles, jewelry, and try regional snacks if you wish.
After a culturally rich and well-paced day, your driver will drop you back to your hotel or preferred location in Delhi NCR.
