What You’ll See on Your Full Day Delhi Tour
Your journey will take you through the fascinating lanes of Old Delhi and the wide boulevards of New Delhi—two very different but equally captivating parts of the city.
Morning – Dive Into the Heritage of Old Delhi
Jama Masjid
Start your day with a visit to Jama Masjid, one of India’s largest mosques. Built in the 17th century by Shah Jahan, it offers incredible views from its minaret and a serene courtyard that comes alive with history.
Chandni Chowk & Rickshaw Ride
Next, take a rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk, the historic marketplace that still pulses with energy. Sample street food, shop for souvenirs, and feel the chaos and charm that defines Old Delhi.
Raj Ghat
Pay homage at Raj Ghat, the peaceful memorial site of Mahatma Gandhi. Surrounded by tranquil gardens, it’s a solemn but inspiring experience.
Afternoon – Discover the Grandeur of New Delhi
India Gate
This iconic war memorial stands at the heart of the capital, surrounded by manicured gardens and wide roads. Your guide will share its significance and the stories behind the names etched on the stone.
Rashtrapati Bhavan & Parliament House
Drive past the impressive Rashtrapati Bhavan (President’s House) and Parliament Building, two architectural marvels from British-era Delhi that reflect colonial grandeur.
Humayun’s Tomb
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the inspiration behind the Taj Mahal, Humayun’s Tomb is a must-visit. The blend of Persian and Mughal architecture is especially breathtaking in the golden afternoon light.
Evening – Spiritual and Architectural Wonders
Qutub Minar
The tallest brick minaret in the world, Qutub Minar is another UNESCO-listed gem. Surrounded by ancient ruins, it’s the perfect spot for history lovers and photographers.
Lotus Temple
End your day at the serene Lotus Temple, known for its flower-like architecture and atmosphere of meditation and peace. Its striking design and spiritual vibe make it a memorable finale.
