Itinerary
You can be picked up from any location in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad, or Faridabad. You can decide the time you want to be picked up based on what you need.
The first place you'll visit is called Jama Masjid, which is the biggest mosque in India. You can take a walk in its courtyard made of red sandstone. It was constructed in the year 1656, and around 5000 workers helped build it. This mosque is located right in front of the fancy 'Red Fort' where the royals used to live. It's in the middle of a place called Chandni Chowk.
After your visit to Jama Masjid, you will hop on a rickshaw to explore Chandni Chowk market. Here, you can enjoy a place called Cham Cham Gali, known for shopping for weddings. There's also Parathe Vali Gali, famous for delicious street food, and a spice market. You'll also have the opportunity to see people shopping in their own unique local way.
The Red Fort is a really big building. Shah Jahan built it from 1639 to 1648. It was where the important Mughal emperors lived. The way it's built shows both Indian-Islamic and Mughal styles. And guess what? It has a super long wall that's 2 kilometers! That's really impressive!
Visit Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, where you'll not only explore the spiritual significance and history of this place but also visit its Langar kitchen. Your knowledgeable guide will lead you through the gurudwara, sharing insights about its cultural and religious importance. Experience the heartwarming Langar tradition, where everyone is welcome to share a free meal, and learn about the principles of community service and equality in Sikhism.
This big, tall monument looks like a huge arch and is made of stone. A famous architect named Lutyens designed it in 1921. It's a tribute to about 90,000 Indian Army soldiers who passed away in World War I, the Northwest Frontier operations, and the 1919 Anglo-Afghan War. It's a way of saying thank you and remembering these brave people.
The President's House is sometimes called Rashtrapati Bhavan. It's a grand building with long hallways, lots of rooms (340 of them!), a special round Durbar Hall, a cool library for the president, and a really interesting Ashoka Hall. Around the President's House, there are also many other fancy places that are worth seeing.
In the big city of India's capital, there's a really interesting place called Parliament House or Sansad Bhavan. It's a special spot. Back in 1947, this building was where Britain gave India its freedom. People can't go inside to see it, though.
This place is really important and even UNESCO thinks so. It's the first Garden Tomb of India. A long time ago, Humayun's wife wanted to build this special tomb for him after he passed away.
Known as the Bahai House of Worship, this peaceful place to pray looks like a beautiful lotus flower. It was made in 1986 by a clever architect named Fariborz Sahba. The idea was to make a place where people from different beliefs could come together. You can go inside the temple to pray or sit quietly and meditate if you want.
You can't miss this super tall tower that looks like the ones in Afghanistan. A long time ago, a ruler named Sultan Qutb-ud-din wanted to show he was in charge, so he built this really high tower. It has five parts and special balconies that stick out. On the tower, there are designs made of sandstone with words from the holy Quran book.
When the day is ending, your special journey will also come to a close. You'll be given a free ride back to wherever you want to go in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad, or Faridabad.

We had a wonderful experience with Adel during our tour. We got answers for our many questions and we felt safe as two young German girls during the whole time of the tour. Thank you a lot!

Wir bedanken uns herzlich für Ihr Feedback. Ihre positive Rückmeldung ist eine große Motivation für unser Team und spornt uns an, unsere Servicequalität stetig zu verbessern. Wir freuen uns darauf, Sie in Zukunft wieder mit Hello India Tours in Indien begrüßen zu dürfen. Nochmals vielen Dank.
Junaid & mehboob We did the tours as planned with a guide who spoke French very well and gave information about India today, the history of the monuments, and the culture. The day of the tour was a national holiday, so it was impossible to see some monuments hidden by tarps in the colors of the flag. Consequently, a very fleeting glimpse of India Gate. The spice market boils down to one shop, but where the presentation of culinary spices and teas is not trivial... the end of the tour finishes in high-end shops showcasing the country's craftsmanship. The insistence on buying jewelry, scarves, paintings, and stones is intrusive and disturbing, because we did not book this tour for that.
Merci beaucoup, Junaid et Mehboob, pour votre retour détaillé. Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez apprécié les explications de notre guide francophone ainsi que les informations sur l’histoire, la culture et l’Inde contemporaine. Nous sommes désolés que la journée nationale ait limité la visibilité de certains monuments et que la visite des boutiques vous ait semblé trop insistante. Vos remarques sont précieuses et nous aideront à améliorer l’expérience de nos voyageurs. Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau en Inde. L’équipe Hello India Tours

Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau en Inde avec Hello India Tours prochainement. Merci encore.
The good: - Visiting places in India through a tour operator is the most comfortable thing to do and I totally recommend it. - Due to the upcoming commemoration of the country's 80 years of independence, there was little vehicle traffic, so the trips were faster. - The vehicle we traveled in was comfortable and had air conditioning, which was just right for this time of year. The bad: - Due to that same independence commemoration, some monuments/tourist attractions were not open to the public, so we could only see them from the moving vehicle. - The bicycle ride was supposed to be included in the package, but we were told that we had to pay 200 rupees per person. In the end, we only gave 200 rupees in total. This turned out to be confusing. I did not like it. It is customary to tip for everything, even for having your shoes watched, so you must have change for that, although I would have preferred it to be included in the tour package, since we previously had a tour in Agra and the guide was the one who gave the tips when appropriate. Unlike the tour in Delhi, the one in Agra was very complete and went into great depth on the history, and despite it being very hot, the guide always accompanied us, recounting facts and curiosities. I cannot say the same about this tour. They take you shopping even if you say you do not want to. I know there are commissions involved and it is understandable, but at least they should take you to places where you can buy at a fair price. There is a huge markup. You can find the same varieties of tea in your home country with proven quality and at a lower price. Even in the Grand Bazaar in Turkey, I bought cheaper tea. - They expect you to do the review in front of them and show it to them.
Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de compartir una opinión tan detallada. Nos alegra saber que encontró nuestro vehículo cómodo y que considera que realizar un tour es una forma práctica de explorar la India. Lamentamos sinceramente la confusión relacionada con el paseo en bicicleta y cualquier inconveniente ocasionado por las paradas para compras. También comprendemos sus comentarios sobre las propinas y la experiencia relacionada con la publicación de la reseña. Revisaremos estos aspectos con nuestro equipo para mejorar nuestro servicio. En cuanto a los monumentos, algunas atracciones tenían restricciones de acceso debido a los preparativos para la celebración del Día de la Independencia, una situación que estaba fuera de nuestro control. Sentimos especialmente que la experiencia con su guía en Delhi no haya estado al mismo nivel de la que tuvo en Agra, especialmente en cuanto a las explicaciones históricas y la atención durante el recorrido. Agradecemos sinceramente sus comentarios, ya que nos ayudan a identificar los aspectos que debemos mejorar. Gracias por elegir Hello India Tours y esperamos tener la oportunidad de ofrecerle una experiencia mucho mejor en el futuro.
I had a great time on this tour. Adil was a fantastic guide and he was very knowledgeable about each place that we went to.
We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. Your positive feedback is a great source of motivation for our team and drives us to maintain and raise our serv ice standards. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back to India with Hello India Tours in the future. Thank you once again.
