About this experience
For those with a day to spare in India's fascinating capital, this private tour is a perfect opportunity to soak in all its beauty. On this tour of Delhi, one of the most amazing cities in the world, we visit both Old Delhi and New Delhi.
In Old Delhi, the four-hundred year old part of the city, we visit India's largest mosque Jama Masjid (25000 people can pray here at a single time!), and explore its bustling bazaars : the wedding articles market Kinaari Bazaar, and the nose-numbing spice market Khari Baoli are the highlights. We have numerous photo opportunities during this slow-paced walk.
Later, in New Delhi, we visit the UNESCO-enlisted Qutub Minar, Mahatma Gandhi Memorial, and drive past magnificent structures of the colonial era (India Gate, Presidential Palace, Parliament House etc. ).
