Discover The Taj Company offer Full Day Old and New Delhi Delhi City Tour
Delhi is a living museum where mediaeval spice bazaars coexist with contemporary glass-and-chrome shopping centres and historic ruins may be seen peeking out from verdant roundabouts. Discover The Taj Company's Full-Day Old and New Delhi City Tour is the ideal way to experience the entire spectrum in one amazing day. You'll see everything—stress-free, full of stories, and at the perfect pace—from winding alleys resonating with the cries of chai vendors to grand boulevards dotted with red-sandstone government architecture.

Why Go to Both Old and New Delhi in the Same Day?
Delhi has undergone at least seven reconstructions, which explains why a 17th-century Mughal mosque is only a short tuk-tuk ride from a Brutalist office complex or an Art Deco movie theatre. When you take a combined tour of both parts, you can see the city's entire character:

Old Delhi: decaying havelis, Mughal courts, fragrant street cuisine, and that organised, intoxicating chaos.

Wide streets, imperial beauty, contemporary museums, and picturesque sites like India Gate are all features of New Delhi.

Discover The Taj Company will help you navigate these realms with ease.

Itinerary Sample (about 9 hours)
Note: Times can be changed to accommodate your airline or train schedule.

7:30 AM: Pickup and Briefing at the Hotel
With a smile and a cold bottle of water, your driver and guide welcome you at the hotel lobby. The 1,000-year history of the city is verbally painted by your guide as you cruise towards Old Delhi.

08:15 AM: The largest mosque in India, Jama Masjid, can accommodate 25,000 worshippers. For a sweeping view of the hazy horizon where a sea of red-tiled roofs melts, ascend the southern minaret.

Wear knees and shoulders covered; robes are supplied on-site.

Rickshaw Ride Through Chandni Chowk at 8:45 A.M.
Hang on tight! You speed past silversmith lanes, spice merchants, and candy stores that predate the telephone in your rickshaw. Feel free to take a break for:

Enjoying a taste of paratha at the well-known Gali Paranthe Wali.

Khari Baoli, Asia's largest spice market, has a cardamom scent.

Red Fort at 10:00 AM (Photo Stop)
Admire the red-sandstone barriers that once concealed the splendour of the Mughals. Your guide tells the narrative of Shah Jahan's golden throne, which was destroyed by invaders and is now lost to time.

Raj Ghat, 10:45 a.m.
A calm, outdoor monument honouring the location of Mahatma Gandhi's cremation. Amidst the birds circling overhead, the eternal light flickers quietly.

11:30 AM: Travel to New Delhi and have a lunch break.
Across the Yamuna River, you'll find lush boulevards. Depending on your taste, have a continental or North Indian thali lunch at a carefully chosen restaurant.

India Gate and Rajpath at 1:00 PM
Before heading down Rajpath (now known as Kartavya Path) towards the presidential palace, take that picture-perfect picture of the 42-meter triumphal arch.

Rashtrapati Bhavan (President's House) and Parliament were the destinations of a guided drive-by at 01:45 PM, with brief photo stops. Discover how India transformed imperial Delhi for democracy and how Lutyens' ambitious plan influenced it.

The Tomb of Humayun at 02:15 PM
This UNESCO landmark is an elder relative of the Taj Mahal. Explore Persian gardens, look for parakeets in the arches, and discover why this tomb from the 16th century altered Indo-Islamic architecture forever.

03:15 PM: Qutub Minar OR Lotus Temple
Depending on your interests, choose one:

Lotus Temple: a Baháʼí house of worship renowned for its breathtaking stillness and petal-like design.

Encircled by historic iron pillars that never corrode, Qutub Minar is a 73-meter triumph tower that dates back to 1199 CE.

Drop-Off & Farewell at 4:30 PM
Returning to your hotel (or train or airport stop). Your guide helps you sort through your memories and suggests places to eat in the evening if you'd like.
