Detailed Itinerary of Old & New Delhi in 8 Hours by Private Car:
Your chauffeur and (optional) guide will pick you up in a private, air-conditioned car from your desired location in Delhi NCR.
Start your day at India’s largest mosque, built in the 17th century by Shah Jahan. Walk around the grand courtyard that once held 25,000 worshippers and admire the Mughal-style domes and minarets.
Hop into a traditional rickshaw and explore the vibrant lanes of Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest markets in Delhi. Soak in the aromas at Khari Baoli, Asia’s largest spice market, and witness Old Delhi’s bustling life up close.
Get an outside glimpse of the iconic Red Fort (optional entry if time allows). Then head to Raj Ghat, the peaceful black marble platform marking the cremation spot of Mahatma Gandhi.
Visit one of the most important Sikh shrines in Delhi. Walk around the sacred pond and peek inside the massive community kitchen (Langar), which feeds over 20,000 people daily — a unique spiritual and cultural experience.
Stop at India Gate, India’s national war memorial, for photos. On the way, enjoy a scenic drive past Rashtrapati Bhavan (President’s House) and Parliament House, classic examples of Lutyens' colonial architecture.
Step into a hidden historical gem — a centuries-old stepwell with unique arched architecture, right in the heart of New Delhi.
Enjoy a traditional Indian lunch at a clean, tourist-friendly restaurant (if selected in your package). Let us know if you prefer vegetarian, continental, or something quick.
Explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site, which inspired the design of the Taj Mahal. Walk through lush gardens and admire the grand Mughal architecture and Persian influence.
Visit another UNESCO-listed wonder — the Qutub Minar, a towering 73-meter structure surrounded by ancient ruins and the mysterious Iron Pillar that has stood rust-free for centuries.
Conclude your sightseeing with a peaceful visit to the Lotus Temple, a Baháʼí House of Worship known for its flower-like shape and serene ambiance. Silence is golden here.
If time allows, drive past Akshardham Temple to view its grand domes and intricate carvings — a modern marvel of Hindu architecture.
After a full day of discovery, your driver will drop you off safely at your desired location in Delhi NCR.

Highly recommend this tour! Our guide was exceptional, providing insightful commentary and helping us navigate the vibrant chaos of Delhi with ease. We felt completely safe and comfortable, and it was truly the best way to experience the city's diverse culture and history in a single day.
A well-organized tour that showcased both the historical grandeur and modern vibrancy of Delhi. The private car made travel between sites seamless, saving us precious time. We particularly enjoyed the rickshaw ride through Old Delhi, though I would have liked a bit more time at the National Museum.
The tour covered a good range of attractions in Delhi, and the convenience of a private car was appreciated. However, I felt some stops were a bit too quick, and the guide's explanations, while informative, sometimes lacked depth for my personal interest. It's a solid option for a quick highlights reel.
This tour was a fantastic overview for our first time in Delhi. We saw all the major sights, from the Red Fort to India Gate, and our driver navigated the busy streets expertly. While 8 hours felt a bit rushed in places, it was an excellent way to get a taste of the city's history and modern pulse.
