The Full Day Old and New Delhi City Tour by Discover The Taj Company is your gateway to explore the soul of the city in comfort, with expert guidance, and without the stress of planning.

Start Your Day With a Comfortable Pickup

Your journey begins with a pickup from your hotel in Delhi, Gurugram, or Noida in a private, air-conditioned car. A professional driver and an experienced guide greet you, ready to take you on an unforgettable ride through centuries of history and culture.

Whether you're a first-time visitor or returning to explore deeper layers of Delhi, the tour is thoughtfully curated to cover all major highlights in a single, seamless day.

Dive Into the Heart of Old Delhi

First stop: Old Delhi, a chaotic and colorful wonderland that transports you back in time. The area was once the capital of Mughal India and still holds the old-world charm through its architecture, food, and traditions.

Jama Masjid – India’s Largest Mosque

Begin with a visit to Jama Masjid, built by Shah Jahan in 1656. It’s one of the largest mosques in India and a spiritual haven. Remove your shoes, climb the steps, and marvel at the intricate carvings and massive domes.

Rickshaw Ride Through Chandni Chowk

Next, hop on a cycle rickshaw through Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest and busiest markets in India. The ride is a sensory overload—spices in the air, colorful fabrics hanging from every shop, the sound of bells, shouting vendors, and the feel of history in every corner.

Red Fort (Outside View)

While in Old Delhi, you’ll also stop to admire the Red Fort, an iconic UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although entry isn’t included in the one-day tour due to time, your guide will share its fascinating history and let you snap a few great pictures from the outside.

A Glimpse of Mahatma Gandhi's Legacy

On the way to New Delhi, you’ll visit Raj Ghat, the peaceful memorial of Mahatma Gandhi. The simplicity of the black marble platform marks the spot where he was cremated in 1948. It’s a quiet, reflective place amid the buzz of the city.

Explore the Charm of New Delhi

Now it’s time to explore New Delhi, a well-planned area designed by the British in the early 20th century. Wide roads, colonial buildings, and grand government structures mark a sharp contrast to the energy of Old Delhi.

India Gate & Parliament House

Drive past the India Gate, a war memorial dedicated to soldiers who died in World War I, and the Rashtrapati Bhavan (President’s House), surrounded by lush gardens and impressive architecture.

Humayun’s Tomb – The Mughal Marvel

Next, explore Humayun’s Tomb, a precursor to the Taj Mahal and one of Delhi’s most stunning structures. Built in 1570, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is peaceful, symmetrical, and filled with beautiful Mughal art and design.

Qutub Minar – Towering History

The last major stop is Qutub Minar, the world’s tallest brick minaret. Built in 1193, it stands over 73 meters high and is surrounded by ancient ruins that tell stories of the Delhi Sultanate. Your guide will explain the history, legends, and architectural details that make this monument truly special.

Lunch Break at a Local Restaurant

In between exploring, you'll stop at a clean, high-quality local restaurant for lunch (not included in the price). Whether you’re craving classic North Indian cuisine or want to try something lighter, the options are delicious and authentic.
