Your driver will pick you up from your hotel or airport in the morning and take you to meet your tour guide. You will head out to visit the tomb of the Mughal emperor, Humayun. The tomb, located in Nizamuddin East, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993, and was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent. The expected length of the visit is an hour.
After, visit Qutab Minar, a soaring 73 meter tower, and the tallest brick minaret in the world. It was built in 1193 by Qutub-ud-din Aibak immediately after the defeat of Delhi’s last Hindu kingdom, and is also a UNESCO World Heritage site. The expected length of the visit is 45-minutes.
Next up is the Lotus Temple (closed on Mondays), the last of seven major Bahai temples, and built in 1986 out of pure white marble. Around the blooming petals are nine pools of water which light up in natural light. The expected length of the visit is an hour.
After the Lotus Temple visit you’ll be taken toward your luxurious lunch in the multi-cuisine, fully air-conditioned restaurant where you can get all the delicious flavors and delicacies of the city (at own expense).
Next, visit Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India, with its courtyard capable of holding 25,000 devotees. It was begun in 1650 by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, and more than 5,000 workers toiled for six years to complete it. The expected length of the visit is 30-minutes.
At the center of New Delhi stands the 42 meter India Gate, an Arc-de-Triomphe-like archway in the middle of a crossroad. It was built as a memorial to the 70,000 India soldiers killed in World War I. The gate was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and completed in 1931. The expected length of the visit is 15-minutes.
After the gate, head to the Red Fort, constructed in 1648 by the 5th Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, and the residence of the emperor for about 200 years, until 1857. The Red Fort’s innovative architectural style, including its garden design, influenced later buildings and gardens in Delhi. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007. The expected length of the visit is an hour.
In the evening you will be taken back your hotel, or airport, along with your cherished memories of the Delhi sightseeing tour.

Great day in Delhi
I had a wonderful day with Ajay who is an excellent tour guide and photographer and speaks perfect English. We visited both Delhi and New Delhi in one day and he's not only showing me around, but also explaining about all the history behind each site. Definitely 5 stars and recommends him to everyone who plans to visit Delhi

A great - personalized - experience
Ahamed was amazing! He knew the best vantage points to take photos, the most efficient way to access and navigate Old Delhi and New Delhi's major sites. He even helped me with mundane things like finding an ATM. The depth and breadth of knowledge he has to share is mine boggling and inspiring. I now want to find books to learn more about the history of Shah Jahan and Qutb Minar and the Delhi Sultanate. This was a safe and far deeper introduction to this amazing place than I otherwise could have experienced on my own.

Excellent in all aspects
Touring Delhi with our guide, Ajay, was a complete and wonderful surprise. We met an energetic, highly professional, fun and humorous guide — who also turned out to be a legendary driver, expertly navigating the twists and chaos of this vibrant city.
Within a very short time, it became clear that Ajay has total command of Delhi: an intimate knowledge of every road, turn, and intersection, combined with impressive mastery of both up-to-date current information and fascinating historical insight.
Ajay is also a gifted storyteller, deeply familiar with contemporary India as well as its rich history, and — quite remarkably — well versed in many topics related to Israel.
He is exceptionally service-oriented and has an almost uncanny ability to anticipate travelers’ needs, often responding even before a question is asked.
We recommend Ajay wholeheartedly and with full confidence to future travelers who choose to explore Delhi with him.

Excellent guide
I fell in love with Ajay even before we arrived in India – just from our messages! He is a kind and charming person with a genuine desire to help.
Ajay picked us up from the airport and took us on a tour of both Old and New Delhi, showing us central and unique sites. He helped us exchange money at a
good rate, guided us to delicious street food, and returned us safely to our hotel.
Throughout the tour, Ajay shared his deep knowledge about India and its rich history. He is calm, polite, and made us feel completely safe, even within the chaotic traffic of Delhi — he didn’t honk even once, which is very rare!
In short, we highly recommend Ajay. He made our first day in Delhi special and smooth.

Ajay picked me up from the Delhi airport in a comfortable, air-conditioned car and took me straight on an amazing tour of all the main sites in the city. He speaks excellent English, has extensive knowledge and brings incredible energy that made the entire day magical and unique. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to experience the city in an amazing way. Ajay also guides tours in Rajasthan and other places, and I will definitely use his services at every opportunity I have in the future!

A wonderful day in Delhi with Ajay
We had an amazing day exploring Delhi with Ajay!
He is not only a great guide but also an excellent driver — calm, professional, and very knowledgeable.
Throughout the day he shared fascinating stories about Delhi’s history and culture, making every stop come alive.
We visited beautiful monuments, a lively local market, and even a peaceful temple that gave us a glimpse into local traditions.
Ajay made sure we were comfortable the whole time and went out of his way to give us a truly authentic experience.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to discover Delhi in the best way possible!
