Full Day Old and New Delhi City Tour by Discover The Taj Company
Delhi isn’t just a city—it’s an explosion of history, culture, flavors, and chaos that somehow blends together into an unforgettable experience. And if you really want to see Delhi, not just skim through it, then the Full Day Old and New Delhi City Tour by Discover The Taj Company is your golden ticket.
Why Choose a Full-Day Tour?
Think of Delhi as two personalities wrapped into one city: Old Delhi, with its ancient lanes, mosques, and bustling bazaars; and New Delhi, a city of wide boulevards, colonial buildings, and modern vibes. A full-day tour gives you the chance to truly explore both sides—to time travel from the 1600s to today in a matter of hours.
Start with a Hassle-Free Pickup
The day begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel or preferred location in Delhi in a clean, air-conditioned vehicle. The team at Discover The Taj Company is known for being right on time—no awkward waiting, no confusion, just smooth beginnings.
Dive into the Heart of Old Delhi
Old Delhi is intense, raw, and absolutely incredible. It’s where the soul of the city lives, and you’ll get to explore it up close.
Red Fort (Lal Qila)
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Red Fort is a massive sandstone fortress built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. Its towering walls and intricate details are a history lover's dream.
Jama Masjid
One of the largest mosques in India, Jama Masjid is grand yet serene. Climb to the top of its minarets for a panoramic view of the bustling lanes below.
Rickshaw Ride through Chandni Chowk
Hold on tight—this is the real adventure! A rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi’s chaotic market street, is like stepping into a Bollywood movie scene. Sweets, spices, clothes, electronics—you name it, it's here.
Raj Ghat
A peaceful memorial to Mahatma Gandhi, Raj Ghat is a reminder of India’s struggle for freedom. Quiet, green, and reflective, it’s a perfect breather from the buzz of Old Delhi.
Transition to New Delhi’s Elegance
From the narrow lanes of Old Delhi, you’ll glide into the broad, tree-lined avenues of New Delhi—a total contrast and equally beautiful.
India Gate
Think of it as India’s version of the Arc de Triomphe. This war memorial stands proud and powerful in the heart of the city, a great photo stop and an emotional tribute.
Rashtrapati Bhavan & Parliament House
You’ll drive past these architectural marvels—the President’s official residence and India’s Parliament. Even from the outside, these buildings scream grandeur.
Humayun’s Tomb
Another UNESCO site, Humayun’s Tomb inspired the architecture of the Taj Mahal. It's a beautiful mix of Persian and Indian styles surrounded by peaceful gardens.
Lotus Temple
Modern, minimalist, and serene, the Lotus Temple welcomes people of all religions. Its petal-like design is stunning, especially at sunset.
Qutub Minar
The tallest brick minaret in the world and yet another UNESCO World Heritage Site. The carvings here will leave you speechless—and slightly dizzy if you try to walk around them all.
Delicious Local Lunch Break
Midway through the tour, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch at a top-rated restaurant (usually Indian cuisine, unless you prefer otherwise). Expect rich curries, soft naan, and desserts that melt in your mouth.
