Amazing Tour of Old & New Delhi

This tour is well worth it and exceeded our expectations. My wife and I are in town for only two days and wanted to maximize our experience here. First, Varun is a wonderful guide. He is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy. He is willing to adjust the tour stops based on your interests. He’ll open up car doors for you, engage in great conversation, and guide you through the landmarks. His bubbly personality made the tour fun and enjoyable. The driver is extremely nice as well. He’s also great at navigating through the city and he’s always nearby when we finished exploring each spot. Secondly, we were amazed at how much we were able to explore in one day. There were so many great sites we were able to see and enjoy that we would not have been able to do on our own. Third, the price is more than reasonable. Overall, it was a great experience and I would absolutely recommend this to anyone!

Operator response

Thank you so much for this detailed and wonderful review. I’m truly happy to hear the tour exceeded your expectations and helped you make the most of your two days. Varun will be so pleased to know you appreciated his friendliness, flexibility, and positive energy. He really loves going the extra mile for his guests. I’m also glad to hear our driver made you feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the day. It means a lot that you found the experience valuable and worth the price. Thank you again for your recommendation. Best regards, Amit Crystal India Holidays

We had an absolutely wonderful experience on our Delhi city tour. Our guide, Varun, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the rich history and culture of Delhi. He explained everything in great detail and made each monument come alive with fascinating stories and historical insights. His deep understanding of the city’s heritage truly enhanced our visit. We explored iconic landmarks like Red Fort, Humayun's Tomb, Qutub Minar, India Gate, and Jama Masjid. At each location, Varun shared not just historical facts but also interesting cultural insights that helped us truly appreciate the richness of Delhi’s heritage. Varun was extremely friendly, polite, and attentive throughout the tour. He made us feel comfortable, answered all our questions patiently, and ensured we had enough time at every site. His positive attitude and warm behavior made the entire experience even more enjoyable.

Absolutely excellent….wonderful guide and driver

Today we did a full tour of the sites in both Old and New Delhi, and loved it all. Our guide, Pinki was delightful and so knowledgeable about all the places we visited, and our driver, Kuldeep, made us feel very safe given the complexities of driving around Delhi, so a big thank you to both of them. We should have done the trip yesterday, but as the forecast was for rain, my husband contacted Amit who was more than happy for us to go today, so thanks too to him for rearranging at such short notice. Delhi really is an unbelievable experience, especially Old Delhi….so many people, so much noise and traffic, and the smells in the spice market are wonderful. We also visited the crematorium and saw the memorial to Mahatma Ghandi as well as his home and the place outside it where he was assassinated. All in all a very enjoyable tour. Thanks again to everyone at Crystal India Holidays….we had a wonderful day.

Ask for Pinki guide

I had the best experience exploring New Delhi thanks to my amazing guide, Pinki. She is incredibly sweet, warm, and positive, with outstanding language skills that made everything easy and enjoyable. Pinki took me to all the major New Delhi sights and shared so much knowledge about the history, culture, and local life. Her explanations were clear, insightful, and delivered with genuine passion. I always felt comfortable asking questions, and she made the entire day unforgettable. If you’re visiting New Delhi, ask for Pinki — she is truly exceptional and will make your trip so much more meaningful. Highly recommended!
