Explore the real Delhi with the people who live it every day. With your guide beside you, you’ll decode centuries of history, marvel at Indo-Islamic artistry, and taste authentic street snacks in places only locals know.

Tour Itinerary

You meet your friendly English-speaking tour guide near Jama Masjid, one of the largest and oldest mosques in India, where grand Mughal arches and white domes dominate the skyline. After a brief introduction to the site’s rich history, you step into the buzzing maze of Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi’s most iconic bazaar.

The guide walks you through narrow alleys like Dariba Kalan (Silver Market) and Kinari Bazaar, where wedding finery and temple trimmings hang overhead. Stories of Mughal princesses, British colonial officers, and spice traders come alive as you pass havelis with fading wooden balconies and vibrant shrines.

A cycle rickshaw ride gives you a breezy, joyful way to take in the chaos and charm of Old Delhi’s lanes. You’ll stop at spots like Gauri Shankar Temple, Fatehpuri Masjid, and even pause for a quick bite, perhaps a crispy samosa or syrupy jalebi from a 100-year-old sweet shop.

The tour winds down with a visit to Raj Ghat, the serene cremation site of Mahatma Gandhi, before your guide helps you with directions or transport back.
