Full Day Old and New Delhi Tour by Private Taj Mahal Tour Company

Delhi, a city where ancient history meets modern vibrance, offers an unparalleled experience for travelers looking to dive deep into India’s cultural heart. The Full Day Old and New Delhi Tour by Private Taj Mahal Tour Company is the ideal way to explore the two distinct worlds within one city—Old Delhi’s narrow, bustling streets and New Delhi’s wide boulevards and colonial charm. With private transportation, expert guides, and a thoughtfully planned itinerary, this tour captures the essence of the capital in just one unforgettable day.

Your day begins with a comfortable hotel pickup by your personal driver in an air-conditioned car. Accompanied by a professional local guide, you’ll first head to Old Delhi, where history whispers from every corner. The first stop is the grand Jama Masjid, India’s largest mosque, built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century. Admire its vast courtyard, beautiful minarets, and intricate architecture as your guide explains its significance.

Next, hop aboard a rickshaw ride through the lively lanes of Chandni Chowk, the heart of Old Delhi. It’s an explosion of colors, smells, and sounds—street food vendors, spice markets, fabric shops, and traditional sweets all jostle for your attention. If you're a foodie, this is the place to sample local delicacies like jalebis, samosas, and parathas.

Continue to the Red Fort (Lal Qila), a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Delhi’s most iconic landmarks. While most of the interior is restricted, its grand red sandstone walls and majestic gates are a powerful reminder of India’s royal past. Your guide will walk you through the history of the Mughal Empire and its influence on Delhi.

As the morning concludes, you’ll transition into New Delhi, the more spacious and planned section of the city. Begin with a visit to Raj Ghat, the peaceful memorial to Mahatma Gandhi. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, this black marble platform marks the spot of Gandhi’s cremation and is a quiet place for reflection.

Your tour continues with the elegant landmarks of Lutyens’ Delhi. Drive past the India Gate, a war memorial honoring Indian soldiers, and marvel at the majestic Rashtrapati Bhavan (President’s House) and Parliament House. These colonial-era structures showcase the grandeur of British architecture in India.

Stop for a delicious lunch at a reputable local restaurant, where you’ll enjoy authentic North Indian cuisine in a relaxed setting.

Post lunch, visit the soaring Qutub Minar, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. This 12th-century minaret is the tallest brick tower in the world and stands as a testament to Delhi’s ancient history. Close by, you’ll find intricately carved ruins that tell tales of Delhi's many dynasties.

Next, explore the striking Lotus Temple, known for its unique flower-like shape and serene atmosphere. It’s open to all religions and offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city.

Lastly, you’ll stop at the Humayun’s Tomb, the inspiration for the Taj Mahal. This stunning piece of Mughal architecture, surrounded by lush gardens, is the resting place of the second Mughal emperor and offers a tranquil end to a busy day.

By evening, your driver will drop you back at your hotel, leaving you with lasting memories of Delhi’s dynamic contrast between ancient and modern, chaos and calm, tradition and innovation.
