Private Tour: Delhi City Sightseeing Tour With Guide

Explore the city of Old And New Delhi and get an up-close look at some of its most remarkable landmarks during this full-day

Delhi is not just India's capital city and a modern-day metropolis but a treasure trove of ancient and medieval heritages displaying stunning architectural beauty. Join us on this private, guided, eight-hour tour and discover this ancient city. We will pick you up from your hotel or accommodation between 9:00 am and 11:00 am in the morning (you choose the time) and drive you to the tomb of the famous Mughal emperor Humayun. The tomb, located in Nizamuddin East, was declared a Unesco World Heritage site in 1993. It is also the first garden-tomb in the Indian subcontinent. Visit another Unesco World Heritage site, Qutab Minar, a soaring, 73-meter tower and the tallest brick minaret in the world. It was built in 1193 by Qutub-ud-din Aibak immediately after defeating Delhi’s last Hindu king. We will then take you to the Lotus Temple , the last of seven major Bahai temples that was built in 1986 out of pure white marble. Head for Old Delhi now. Your first stop is Jama Masjid, a highly decorative mosque with three large gates, four towers and two 40-metre-high minarets constructed of red sandstone and white marble. Travellers can hire robes at the northern gate. This may be the only time you get to dress like a local without feeling like an outsider so make the most of it. Travel to India Gate, located at the centre of New Delhi, next. This 42-metre-high archway commemorates the sacrifice made by 70,000 Indian soldiers who lost their lives fighting for the British Army during the World War I. We will then take you to the massive Red Fort, a historic fort that rises above the clamour of Old Delhi and was built by the Mughals. We will drop you off at your hotel or location after the tour is over.
