Programme détaillé
Morning Pickup and Introduction to Delhi
Your full day of discovery begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel or the airport in a private air-conditioned sedan or mini-bus, depending on the size of your group. After a nourishing breakfast, you’ll set out to explore the vibrant contrasts of New Delhi and Old Delhi. The city’s sprawling urban tapestry unfolds before you as your knowledgeable, government-approved local guide shares stories and insights that bring the history and culture alive. Prepare for a day full of fascinating sights, sounds, and flavors as you traverse all the local routes of Delhi.
Jama Masjid: A Majestic Start in Old Delhi
Your first major stop is the iconic Jama Masjid, one of India’s largest and most magnificent mosques, built in the mid-17th century by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. As you step into its grand courtyard, you’ll be awed by the striking red sandstone and white marble architecture, intricate calligraphy, and the harmonious blend of Islamic and Indian design elements. Climb the minaret for panoramic views of Old Delhi’s bustling streets and historic rooftops. Your guide will explain the mosque’s significance during the Mughal era and how it remains a vibrant place of worship today.
Rickshaw Ride Through the Heart of Old Delhi
Next, immerse yourself in the sensory overload of Old Delhi with a thrilling rickshaw ride through its narrow, lively lanes. This is one of the best ways to experience the city’s vibrant street life, where hawkers sell spices, textiles, and street food. You’ll pass by colorful bazaars, ancient havelis, and the fragrant chaos of Chandni Chowk market. Your guide will point out hidden gems and share fascinating anecdotes about the neighborhoods and their residents. This close-up adventure offers a truly authentic glimpse into daily life in Old Delhi, a contrast to the broad avenues of New Delhi.
Lunch Break and Midday Rest
After your morning explorations, enjoy a delicious lunch at a nearby restaurant or, if you prefer, return to your hotel for a relaxing break. Choose from traditional North Indian dishes that showcase the rich culinary heritage of Delhi, such as butter chicken, kebabs, or vegetarian delights. This pause allows you to recharge before the afternoon’s sightseeing and reflect on the morning’s highlights. Don’t forget to drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially if you are visiting in the warmer months.
Insider Cultural Experiences and Practical Tips
As your guide leads you through Delhi’s historic quarters, you’ll have the chance to visit Gurdwara Bangla Sahib, a Sikh temple known for its serene atmosphere and the free community kitchen, or langar. Partaking in this simple meal is a heartwarming spiritual experience, offering a moment of peace amid the city’s bustle.
For your comfort, wear lightweight, breathable clothing that respects local customs—covering shoulders and knees is advisable when visiting religious sites. Comfortable walking shoes are essential, as you’ll be navigating uneven streets and monument grounds throughout the day. Carry a water bottle provided during the tour to stay hydrated.
Return Journey and Reflection
As the day winds down, your guide will escort you back to your hotel or the airport in your private vehicle, allowing you to rest after a full day of exploration. This tour offers the perfect balance of history, culture, and authentic local experiences, all with the convenience of skipping long lines and enjoying personalized attention from an expert guide. You’ll leave Delhi with a deeper appreciation for its rich heritage and vibrant present, memories of colorful markets, majestic monuments, and stories only a local can truly share.

Avis des voyageurs
Eight hours flew by. Our guide knew every corner of Old Delhi and told brilliant stories about Shah Jahan while we stood inside Jama Masjid. The rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk was chaotic in the best way, weaving past the spice sellers of Khari Baoli. By the time we reached Qutub Minar I felt I'd actually understood the city rather than just ticked off photos.
Fantastic value for ninety dollars. Entry tickets, a comfortable car and a guide for the whole day, plus water waiting for us in the heat. Humayun's Tomb was the surprise standout, so much quieter and grander than I expected. The driver knew exactly which gate to use to avoid queues. Would recommend to anyone with just one day in Delhi.
A genuinely great overview of Delhi and our guide was warm and patient. My only honest note is the September heat made the walking between Humayun's Tomb and Qutub Minar quite draining by mid-afternoon, and a couple of the later stops felt slightly rushed as a result. Start early, drink your water, and it's wonderful. The spice market alone was worth the day.
Very well organised from the hotel pickup onwards. What impressed me was how the guide handled the touts around Chandni Chowk so we could relax completely. Bangla Sahib was deeply moving, the sound of the prayers by the water stayed with me. Removing shoes at the mosque and gurdwara was no trouble. A thoughtful, respectful introduction to both faiths and both Delhis.
Did this with my parents who are in their seventies and it worked perfectly because you're driven between the sights and only walk at each one. India Gate at dusk was a lovely way to end. The guide adjusted the pace for us without making us feel like a burden. Tickets were all sorted so there was no standing in line. Highly recommend for families.
January weather was ideal, cool and clear all day. The contrast between the crush of Old Delhi's lanes and the calm gardens of Humayun's Tomb really tells you what this city is. Our guide's history at Qutub Minar was fascinating, right down to the iron pillar. Everything ran on time and the car was clean and cold. Brilliant use of a single day.
Loved the day overall and learned a huge amount. The one downside is that Chandni Chowk was incredibly crowded and a bit overwhelming, so keep your group close and your bag in front. Once past that, Raj Ghat and the Qutub Minar were peaceful and beautiful. Good guide, fair price, and the included water was a small touch that mattered in the crowds.
This tour delivered exactly what it promised and then some. Seven landmarks in one day sounds like a lot but the flow from Old Delhi in the morning to the newer monuments made complete sense. The rickshaw ride was my kids' favourite part. Photography at India Gate and Humayun's Tomb was incredible. Our guide's passion for Delhi was obvious and genuinely infectious.
