Programme détaillé

Morning Pickup and Introduction to Delhi

Your day begins with a comfortable pickup at 8:00 AM from your accommodation in Delhi, after you have enjoyed breakfast. You will be chauffeured in an air-conditioned car, perfectly suited to navigate the bustling streets of Old and New Delhi while offering respite from the city’s heat. As your local expert guide joins you, get ready to dive into the rich tapestry of Delhi’s history, culture, and architecture, blending Mughal grandeur with modern vibrancy.

Exploring Jama Masjid: The Heart of Old Delhi

Your first stop is the majestic Jama Masjid, officially known as Masjid-i-Jehan-Numa. Built between 1644 and 1656 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, this mosque is one of the largest in India and a masterpiece of Mughal architecture. As you stand in the sprawling courtyard, imagine the imperial processions and religious gatherings that once animated this space. The mosque’s striking red sandstone and white marble façade, intricate calligraphy, and towering minarets will leave you in awe. Remember to wear long clothes as a mark of respect when visiting this sacred site. Your guide will share stories about the mosque’s political and cultural significance, from the days of the Mughal empire to its role during British rule.

Wandering Through Chandni Chowk: The Soul of Old Delhi

Next, you’ll stroll through Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest and busiest markets in Old Delhi. This vibrant street market was once divided by canals that reflected the moonlight, giving the area its poetic name meaning “Moonlight Square.” Although the canals are no longer visible, the market’s energy remains palpable. You’ll weave through narrow lanes filled with shops selling spices, textiles, jewelry, and street food. The sounds of bargaining vendors, the aroma of traditional sweets, and the colorful displays will immerse you in everyday Delhi life. Close by, you’ll catch a glimpse of the imposing Red Fort, built by Shah Jahan in 1650 and designed by his daughter Jahanara—a symbol of Mughal power that once dominated the city skyline.

Lunch at a Local Restaurant

After the morning’s explorations, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant offering authentic Delhi cuisine. This meal will be a chance to savor flavors that have been perfected over centuries. Expect fragrant biryanis, rich curries, and fresh breads paired with cooling yogurts and chutneys. Your guide will be happy to recommend dishes based on your preferences, ensuring an authentic taste of Delhi’s culinary heritage.

Optional Visit to the Red Fort and New Delhi Drive

Post lunch, you have the option to explore the Red Fort more closely. This UNESCO World Heritage site is not only an architectural marvel but also a symbol of India’s struggle for independence. Wander through its massive gates, exquisite palaces, and serene gardens while your guide recounts tales of Mughal royalty and historic events.

Later, your journey continues through New Delhi, the imperial city designed by British architects in the early 20th century. You’ll drive past important landmarks such as India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhavan (Presidential Palace), the Parliament House, Lotus Temple, Humayun Tomb, Gurudwara Bangla Sahib witnessing the blend of Mughal, colonial and modern architecture that defines this part of the city.

Practical Tips for a Comfortable Tour

This tour lasts until approximately 5:00 PM, when you will be dropped off at your chosen location. To make the most of your day, wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking on uneven streets and cobblestones. Delhi’s sun can be intense, so bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and an umbrella for shade. Your guide will provide you with a water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day. Dress

This private tour of Old and New Delhi was incredible. We chose the full day option and it was worth every minute. Started in Old Delhi at the Red Fort, then walked through the bustling lanes of Chandni Chowk to Jama Masjid. After lunch we switched to New Delhi with India Gate, Humayun's Tomb and the Lotus Temple. Having a private guide meant we could spend extra time at sites we loved. The contrast between the two halves of Delhi is absolutley fascinating.

Chose the half day option focusing on Old Delhi and it was brilliant. The guide took us through the spice market in Chandni Chowk where the aromas were unbelievable. We visited Jama Masjid and climbed the minaret for panoramic views over the old city. Then a cycle rickshaw ride through the narrow lanes which was both terrifying and exhilarating. The guide knew all the hidden gems, from tiny sweet shops to a 200 year old haveli that most tourists never see. Highly reccomend.

Booked the full day private tour for my parents visiting from Bangalore who had never properly explored Delhi. The guide was excellent and covered both Old and New Delhi comprehensively. Red Fort, Jama Masjid and Chandni Chowk in the morning, then Humayun's Tomb, Qutub Minar and India Gate in the afternoon. One small issue was the car was a bit cramped for four people. Otherwise a really thorough and well paced tour of India's capital.

The private half day tour was perfect for us. We focused on New Delhi and visited Humayun's Tomb, India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhavan and Qutub Minar. Having a private guide meant we could ask endless questions about Mughal architecture and the British colonial period. The guide was incredibly well read and could answer everything we threw at him. The flexibility of a private tour is definately worth the extra cost compared to group options.

We did the full day private tour and the guide did an amazing job weaving together the story of Delhi across centuries. From the Mughal era Red Fort to the British era Connaught Place to modern Delhi, every stop told a different chapter. The rickshaw ride through Old Delhi and the street food tasting were highlights. We tried gol gappe, jalebi and the famous butter chicken at a hole in the wall restaurant. The private car was comfortable and the driver was patient. Best tour we did in India.

Questions fréquentes

The private half-day tour of Old and New Delhi covers the most essential highlights of each area in approximately 4–5 hours: Old Delhi — Jama Masjid (India's largest mosque, exterior and courtyard), the Chandni Chowk bazaar (cycle-rickshaw ride through the historic lanes), and a glimpse of the Red Fort exterior and forecourt; New Delhi — India Gate (the iconic 1931 Raj-era war memorial), Humayun's Tomb (UNESCO Heritage, 1570, architectural predecessor to the Taj Mahal), and Qutub Minar (UNESCO Heritage, 12th century). The half-day format prioritizes the most significant sites over comprehensive coverage, making it ideal for visitors with limited time in Delhi.
Yes — this is a 100% private half-day tour. Your Ministry of Tourism-licensed guide and private air-conditioned vehicle are exclusively assigned to your group for the entire duration. No other visitors share the vehicle, the guide, or the itinerary. This private format ensures the guide's full attention, your preferred pace, and complete schedule flexibility — even on a half-day tour. If you want to spend 45 minutes at Humayun's Tomb instead of the standard 30, the guide adapts without compromising the remaining itinerary.
The private half-day Delhi tour runs approximately 4–5 hours from hotel pickup to hotel drop-off. Morning tours (8:30 AM–1:00–1:30 PM) cover Old Delhi in the cooler morning and New Delhi sites in the late morning. Afternoon tours (2:00 PM–6:30–7:00 PM) cover New Delhi sites in good afternoon light, with Humayun's Tomb and Qutub Minar looking excellent in warm late-afternoon sunlight. A full-day tour (9 hours) allows more comprehensive coverage of both areas — if your schedule permits, the full-day version is recommended for first-time Delhi visitors who want thorough coverage.
Yes — a cycle-rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk's historic bazaar lanes is included in the half-day tour and is one of the most vivid urban experiences in India. Even in a 25–30 minute ride, you see the specialized trade lanes (jewellery, textiles, spices, sweets), the 17th-century Mughal street layout designed by Shah Jahan's daughter, and the extraordinary sensory environment of one of Asia's oldest commercial districts. The guide accompanies the rickshaw (either riding alongside or walking) and provides commentary on the specific lane, vendor, and historical context of what you are passing.
Yes — monument entry tickets are included for the sites that require them: Red Fort exterior viewing area (₹600 if entering the fort complex), Humayun's Tomb (₹600 for foreign nationals), and Qutub Minar (₹600 for foreign nationals). Jama Masjid main courtyard has no mandatory entry fee. India Gate is free. The Chandni Chowk rickshaw area is a public space. Total included ticket value for a foreign national visiting Humayun's Tomb and Qutub Minar: ₹1,200. Children under 15 enter all ASI monuments for free.
Yes — the private half-day Delhi tour is specifically ideal for transit passengers with a long Delhi layover. With 5–7+ hours between flights, a half-day tour allows you to cover Delhi's most significant monuments and one of Asia's most atmospheric bazaars before returning to the airport. The private vehicle means you can request drop-off directly at the airport (Terminal 2 domestic or Terminal 3 international) at the end of the tour. Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport is approximately 45 minutes from central Delhi's monument areas. The guide can advise on the latest hotel pickup time based on your flight departure.
Morning (8:30 AM–1:00 PM) is recommended for the Old Delhi section first — Chandni Chowk and the Jama Masjid area are most energetic in the morning. Afternoon (2:00–7:00 PM) suits visitors who prefer more time for lunch before starting. For photography: morning light is excellent for the Chandni Chowk lanes; afternoon-to-sunset light is excellent for Humayun's Tomb (warm golden tones on the red sandstone facade) and Qutub Minar. Avoid midday (11 AM–1 PM) for outdoor sightseeing in summer months — temperatures peak. The guide selects the optimal sequence within your chosen time window.
Yes — extending from a half-day to a full-day Delhi tour adds comprehensive coverage of the remaining sites: Khari Baoli (Asia's largest spice wholesale market), Lodi Garden (Mughal and pre-Mughal tombs in a beautiful park), Hauz Khas village (medieval water reservoir with contemporary cafes), and optionally the Lotus Temple or Akshardham Temple. The full-day tour (9–10 hours) provides the most complete Delhi experience possible in a single day. If you have the time available, the full day is highly recommended — Delhi's historical depth rewards more time rather than less.
For photography enthusiasts, the afternoon half-day (2:00–7:00 PM) produces the most stunning results. The reason is light quality: Humayun's Tomb — the red sandstone and white marble facade glows in warm golden tones during late afternoon (4:00–5:30 PM), creating the most photogenic conditions for this UNESCO monument; Qutub Minar — the 73-metre sandstone tower is beautifully side-lit in the afternoon, with long shadows adding depth and drama; India Gate — at sunset (5:30–6:30 PM depending on season), the war memorial is bathed in warm light and the surrounding gardens fill with locals creating an atmospheric street photography scene. The morning half-day (8:30 AM–1:00 PM) is better for Chandni Chowk and Old Delhi street photography — the bazaar lanes are most active and photogenic before noon, with dramatic light shafts cutting through the narrow alleys. If photography is your primary interest, discuss this with your guide at pickup so the sequence is optimised for the best light at each site. For a complete photography-focused itinerary, see our <a href='/india/delhi/delhi-1-day-itinerary'>Delhi 1-day itinerary</a> guide.
Tipping in India is appreciated but not obligatory. For the private half-day Delhi tour, customary tips are: Guide₹500–1,000 (approximately USD 6–12) for a half-day tour, or ₹1,000–2,000 for a full day; adjust upward for exceptional service, in-depth knowledge, or large groups. Driver₹300–500 for a half-day, or ₹500–800 for a full day; the driver manages Delhi's challenging traffic and deserves recognition. Rickshaw-wallah (Chandni Chowk cycle-rickshaw) — ₹50–100 for the ride. Monument staff — not expected; do not tip ASI (Archaeological Survey of India) guards or ticket sellers. Tips can be given in Indian rupees (cash) at the end of the tour. There is no pressure to tip — it is entirely at your discretion based on your experience. Your guide will never request a tip.
