Old and New Delhi Private Tour by India Tour Express Company
Discover Two Worlds in One City
Delhi is not just a city—it’s a blend of two very different worlds. On one side, you have Old Delhi, with its centuries-old bazaars, narrow winding alleys, and Mughal-era architecture. On the other, there’s New Delhi, built by the British, filled with wide boulevards, government buildings, and colonial charm. The Old and New Delhi Private Tour by India Tour Express Company takes you on an immersive journey through both sides of this vibrant capital in just one day.
Personalized, Private, and Stress-Free
From the moment your tour begins, you’re in expert hands. A professional English-speaking guide and private air-conditioned car ensure that your day is comfortable, educational, and tailored to your interests. No group crowds, no rigid schedules—just you, your guide, and the city.
Start in the Heart of Old Delhi
Your day kicks off in Old Delhi, once the seat of the mighty Mughal Empire. Your first stop is usually Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in India. Climb its minaret for panoramic views of the old city—it’s well worth the effort.
From there, hop into a cycle rickshaw and cruise through the buzzing lanes of Chandni Chowk, Delhi’s oldest market. With every turn, you’ll pass spice shops, sweet vendors, sari sellers, and street food stalls. It’s a full-on sensory experience—colorful, noisy, chaotic, and absolutely unforgettable.
Visit the Historic Red Fort
A short drive or rickshaw ride away is the Red Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of India’s most iconic landmarks. While you may view it from the outside (depending on the tour time), your guide will explain its rich history, architecture, and role in India’s independence story.
Stop at Raj Ghat
Before heading into New Delhi, pause at Raj Ghat, the peaceful memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi. Surrounded by green gardens, it’s a quiet, reflective space where India’s Father of the Nation was cremated. Your guide will share insights into Gandhi’s life and legacy.
Step into Modern Elegance in New Delhi
As you enter New Delhi, the contrast becomes immediately clear. Wide tree-lined avenues, grand colonial buildings, and well-planned architecture greet you. First, visit India Gate, a war memorial honoring Indian soldiers. Then, drive past the Parliament House, Rashtrapati Bhavan (President’s House), and other key landmarks of Lutyens’ Delhi.
Marvel at Humayun’s Tomb
Next on your itinerary is Humayun’s Tomb, another UNESCO-listed gem and the inspiration behind the design of the Taj Mahal. With its Persian-style gardens and red sandstone structure, it’s a picture-perfect place to explore and photograph.
End with Qutub Minar
No tour of Delhi is complete without visiting Qutub Minar, a 12th-century minaret surrounded by historic ruins. Towering at 73 meters, it’s one of Delhi’s oldest and most impressive monuments. Your guide will walk you through its stories, carvings, and legends that still echo through the complex.
