Itinerary
At 9 am, you will be picked up from your hotel to enjoy your guided temple tour of Old and New Delhi in a private vehicle. At 10am, you will visit the Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple (Closed on Mondays) in New Delhi. The Swaminarayan Akshardham complex was heralded by the Guinness World Record as the World’s Largest Comprehensive Hindu Temple in 2005. At around 12:30pm, you will visit the Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, the most prominent Sikh gurdwara, or house of worship. It is a holy place of the Sikh faith which is open to people of all castes, creeds and faiths. There is a sacred pond inside of this gurudwara, where devotees take baths. This gurudwara is managed by the Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee, which also celebrates the birth of Guru Sri Harkrishan Sahib. At 1:30pm you will take a lunch break. Your lunch will be provided for you at one of the best local restaurants. After lunch, around 3pm, you will visit the Lotus Temple, also known as the Bahai Temple (Closed on Mondays), which has a striking though plain central hall where you can meditate. The hall is 112.5 feet (34.27 meters) high. Thought-provoking quotes of the Baha'i sacred scriptures are inscribed on the petal alcoves. Set amidst beautiful gardens, the temple is at its most exuberant best when the sun dazzles these lotus petals. When entering you will have to remove your shoes and keep silent. Around 4:30pm, you will have some time for shopping in Delhi. Shopping in Delhi can be daunting if you don’t know where to go and how to get there. India’s capital city is among the most exciting places to buy textiles (fabric as well as ready to wear clothes), jewelry, shoes, bags, leather, carpets, handicrafts, traditional and contemporary Indian art. The city has many different shopping areas, each market having a distinctive ambiance. At approximately 7pm, you will visit the ISKON Temple where you will take part in an evening Aarti, or light ceremony. After the light ceremony, at the end of your day around 8pm, you will be dropped off at your hotel or at the Connaught Place, the heart of Delhi, where you can explore the local bazaars.

We were a group of 20 friends and Deejohn Holidays provided a very good support and guidance. The guide Satish was just perfect, always smiling, patient and always there to help. The whole staff was punctual, friendly and ready to respond to all our needs. They arranged our trips to Ellora Caves (A must see!), Ajanta, Aurangabad and other locations, where we had another incredible guide who even sang to us to let us feel the authentic experience in temples and caves. I highly recommend Deejohn Holidays for their reliability, safety, punctuality and friendliness.

Sumit and our driver picked us up promptly from the hotel the morning of the tour. We were 3 people and we travelled comfortably. We had a wonderful day, seeing amazing monuments and historical sites. Mahip was very knowledgeable and could answer any questions we asked. He was a great guide, and he went out of his way to show us places and things that interested us, he also took some great photos of us. I highly recommend him as a guide :)

I enjoyed the places of worship. However, I felt the tour was rushed and not thorough. For example, Akshardham had so many more things to do like a boat ride, etc. After blistering through, I asked if there was more but I was never shown or offered or explained about a boat ride. The hospitality service of the very young 21 y/o tour guide and driver was poor. I was left standing alone several times, not made comfortable in lines like other tour guides did for their customers, i.e., securing meeting places and advances in lines, and clear directions. Simple customer service was gravely missing like offering to open the car door or other doors for me as a single woman of color on this tour. I gave 2 stars because I enjoyed the Temples and history printed throughout that I read myself. I don't recommend this company.
Dear Ms.Tim, Greetings from Deejohn Holidays India Tours ! Thank you very much for your candid review of your recent trip to Delhi. Your feedback is extremely valuable to us, as we strive to improve with every trip. I greatly appreciate your comments about the tour guide. We deeply regret the inconvenience caused to you during your trip due to unprofessional behavior of the tour guide and assure you it is otherwise unlike the high standards of service we endeavor to maintain. Your feedback has been shared with the tour guide as well driver and we have blacklisted him for the future assignments. We thank you once again and sincerely hope you give us another opportunity to wow you with our hospitality. Best of health and good vibrations as well to you my friend and your family.

<p>Excellent guide and driver.<br/> Highlight of the tour was Akshardham Temple and having a fabulous lunch there.<br/> Did not visit Lotus Temple because the lineups were too long.<br/> And did not go inside of ISKON Temple cause it was closed in the afternoon.</p>
