Your Experience Begins

We welcome you with a comfortable, air-conditioned private car, and pick you from your Delhi hotel. Accompanied by your knowledgeable local guide, you'll set off towards the legendary lanes of Old Delhi.

Majestic Jama Masjid

Your first majestic stop is the awe-inspiring Jama Masjid, India's largest mosque. Built by the fifth Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan, between 1644 and 1656, its grandeur is breathtaking. Your private guide will share fascinating insights into its architecture, history, and spiritual importance.

Iconic Rickshaw Adventure

Dive straight into the local rhythm with a classic cycle rickshaw ride. Glide through a labyrinth of narrow, bustling streets, a kaleidoscope of colors, sounds, and aromas. Your guide will unravel the stories of these vibrant arteries, explaining their enduring significance in the daily life of Delhi.

The Legendary Chandni Chowk

Continue your rickshaw journey to the iconic Chandni Chowk, a market buzzing with energy for over three centuries. Once a trading magnet for merchants from Turkey, China, and Holland, its unique design is credited to Emperor Shah Jahan's daughter, Princess Jahanara. Feel the pulse of history in its endless shops and buzzing commerce.

Spice Market Spectacle

Next, explore the sensory overload of Khari Baoli, Asia's largest wholesale spice market, operating since the 17th century. Wander through lanes piled high with vibrant spices, dried fruits, and nuts—a true feast for the senses and a photographer's paradise.

Culinary Delights

No tour of Old Delhi is complete without tasting its legendary street food. We'll stop at renowned local eateries for a delectable tasting session. Savor crispy, syrupy Jalebi, spiced potato-filled Samosa, golden Pakora, and buttery Garlic Naan—an authentic burst of flavors.

Treasures at Chor Bazaar

Feel the thrill of discovery at the famous Chor Bazaar, Old Delhi's most exciting thrift market and treasure trove. From antiques to curiosities, it's a place where you might find absolutely anything you can imagine.

Grand Finale The Red Fort

Conclude your tour at the majestic Red Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This formidable sandstone fortress, built by Shah Jahan as the main residence of Mughal emperors, symbolized the height of Mughal power. We admire its imposing walls and gates from the outside, learning about its pivotal role when Shah Jahan established his capital, Shahjahanabad (now Old Delhi).

A Fond Farewell
