Travel - Delhi sightseeing at a glance - Part I

You pick the sites and we will take care of the rest!

Tour the sites of your choosing on this one day tour with our guide and a car with a driver. We have some recommended routes for either a full or half-day but the schedule is flexible and completely up to you! Our guide will give you the key information about the places that you visit without overwhelming you with too many
historical facts and figures. He is there as a friend to welcome you to Delhi and help you in any way that you may need! See the highlights below for some of the places that you can visit, and you might want to consider visiting Sanjay Colony on our Slum & Sighitseeing Tour. What is not included below are the
sights of Old Delhi, like Red Fort and Jama Masjid, as we believe the best time to visit is in the evening, when the area is at its busiest. Come on our Old Delhi Tour or Old Delhi Street Food Tour to see these sights!
