Nawin was an incredible guide. His knowledge of the sites and history was essential, but he also made the day enjoyable with his humor, polite manners, and attention to detail. He also catered to our unique requests and made it a personal tour. Our driver Riyaz was a life saver. Literally! He navigated the chaos, traffic jams, and craziness expertly and calmly. A remarkable feat. We were impressed by their professionalism and appreciated their guidance through a fantastic day in Delhi!!

Full description

Your full-day tour of India’s capital begins with the historic portion of the city, Old Delhi. After pickup from your hotel, set off towards the Red Fort, which was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, who also built the Taj Mahal. Afterwards, you’ll weave through the bustling shopping area of Chandni Chowk by rickshaw, ending up at the Jama Masjid, a 17th-century mosque that is the largest in India. After stopping for an authentic local lunch, you’ll head into New Delhi, visiting the Qutub Minar, the world’s tallest brick minaret, before stopping at the Tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun. Next it’s off to the India Gate, a memorial to the Indian soldiers who died during World War I, before heading to the Lotus Temple, elegantly designed in the shape of a lotus flower.  To cap things off you’ll drive past the Presidential House and the Parliament Buildings before being driven back to your accommodation.

I very much enjoyed the tour around Delhi with Adin. He showed around all the main touristic attractions of the city, everything was well planned and went very smoothly. The driver was as well nice and punctual and brought me back to the starting point at the end. Adin told a lot of interesting facts about the history and architecture of the monuments and guided me all the way inside the temples, monuments and tombs. My personal highlight was the old Delhi and Chandni Chowk market full of colorful spices and local specialties where we tasted an amazing tea and explored the streets on a riksha. Totally worth it, especially if you want to get the most of a short-term stay in the city! Thanks a lot and also for the great pictures you kindly took!
