Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Old Delhi, Mughal Heritage and Central Delhi
8:30 AM – Pickup from Your Delhi Hotel
Meet your driver at your hotel or agreed pickup location and begin your Old and New Delhi tour. Before setting off, discuss any particular interests, walking requirements or places you would prefer to spend more time exploring.
Airport and railway station pickup can also be requested. If you arrive later in the morning, the sightseeing plan will need to be shortened or rearranged.
9:00 AM – Jama Masjid
Begin in Old Delhi with a visit to Jama Masjid. Take time to appreciate its courtyard, gateways and views over the surrounding neighbourhood.
Visits are subject to prayer times and access arrangements. Dress modestly and follow the instructions provided at the entrance.
10:00 AM – Chandni Chowk and the Old Delhi Lanes
Continue into Chandni Chowk, where shops, food stalls and narrow lanes reveal a different side of the capital. Enjoy a short walk or request an optional cycle-rickshaw ride through a suitable part of the neighbourhood.
If you enjoy markets, extend the walk towards Khari Baoli’s spice-trading streets. The experience involves walking through busy areas, so the route can be adjusted for your comfort. The supplied travel guide highlights Chandni Chowk and the spice market as worthwhile ways to experience Old Delhi’s everyday life.
11:30 AM – Red Fort
Visit the Red Fort to explore its historic setting, courtyards and Mughal architecture. A local guide can help explain how the fort relates to the development of Shahjahanabad, the historic city around it.
Interior entry is subject to the current monument schedule and security restrictions. If entry is unavailable, the route can be revised rather than promising access.
1:00 PM – Lunch Break
Stop for lunch at a restaurant suited to your preferences. Whether you want a familiar meal or would like to try regional dishes, your guide or driver can help you choose a convenient option.
Lunch and food tastings are payable separately unless included in your quotation.
2:00 PM – Raj Ghat
Continue to Raj Ghat, the memorial to Mahatma Gandhi. After the busy streets of Old Delhi, this stop offers a quieter setting for a short walk and reflection.
3:00 PM – India Gate and Central Delhi
Travel towards India Gate and the surrounding ceremonial avenues. Enjoy a photo stop where access is permitted, followed by a drive through Central Delhi.
Views of government buildings and routes around the Rashtrapati Bhavan area depend on traffic controls and security arrangements. This is an exterior sightseeing experience, not an interior visit to government buildings.
4:00 PM – Gurudwara Bangla Sahib
End the main sightseeing with a visit to Gurudwara Bangla Sahib. Spend time appreciating the atmosphere and learning about Sikh traditions and community service.
Cover your head, remove your shoes and follow the visitor arrangements at the entrance.
Around 5:00–5:30 PM – Return to Your Hotel
Return to your Delhi hotel after the first day’s sightseeing. If you would like time around Connaught Place, this can be discussed in advance and fitted into the agreed vehicle hours.
Overnight: Delhi, with accommodation arranged independently or included in your selected package.
Day 2: South Delhi Monuments, Gardens and Cultural Landmarks
8:30 AM – Hotel Pickup
After breakfast, meet your driver for the second day of your private Delhi city tour. Today’s route focuses on South Delhi, with fewer long transfers between the main visits.
9:00 AM – Qutub Minar Complex
Begin at the Qutub Minar complex. Walk through the surrounding archaeological remains, admire the minaret from ground level and enjoy time for photographs.
This is a visit to the monument complex, not a climb inside the minaret. Allow enough time to explore without rushing to the next stop.
11:00 AM – Lotus Temple
Continue to the Lotus Temple, known for its distinctive flower-shaped design. Where visitor access permits, spend a quiet moment inside the prayer hall or explore the grounds.
The Lotus Temple normally closes on Mondays, so this stop should be rearranged or replaced when required. Current opening hours should be checked before travel.
12:30 PM – Lunch Break
Take a relaxed lunch break before the afternoon sightseeing. This is also a useful opportunity to adjust the remaining visits according to the weather and your energy levels.
2:00 PM – Humayun’s Tomb
Visit Humayun’s Tomb and explore its garden setting, pathways and Mughal architecture. Rather than making this only a photo stop, allow time to walk through the complex and appreciate its layout.
Humayun’s Tomb is a major heritage stop in the supplied Delhi itineraries and combines well with the gardens and monuments of South Delhi.
3:30 PM – Lodhi Garden or Dilli Haat
Choose one final experience based on your interests:
- Lodhi Garden: A gentle walk among lawns, pathways and historic tombs.
- Dilli Haat: Time to browse crafts, textiles and regional food stalls.
Keeping this as a choice gives the afternoon more flexibility instead of adding another compulsory stop to an already full day. Both are suggested in the supplied travel references.
Around 5:00–5:30 PM – Final Drop-Off
Your Delhi sightseeing tour ends with a drop-off at your hotel or agreed location.
Airport and railway station transfers can be arranged on request. Share your departure details before booking so the sightseeing can finish with sufficient transfer time.

Optional Experiences and Customisation
The standard itinerary can be adapted rather than simply adding more stops:

- Arrange a guided Old Delhi food walk.
- Add an optional cycle-rickshaw ride.
- Spend more time at heritage monuments and less time shopping.
- Request a licensed guide for one or both days.

Akshardham is closed on Mondays and has restrictions on phones, cameras and other electronic items. Its exhibitions and additional experiences require separate planning, so it is better treated as a replacement visit or an agreed extension.
FAQs
Q1. Is two days enough to explore Delhi?
Two days are enough to visit many of Delhi’s main attractions without trying to fit everything into one day. This itinerary combines Old Delhi’s markets and Mughal monuments with New Delhi’s gardens, cultural landmarks and historic sites. Extra days can be added for museums, food walks or more relaxed sightseeing.
Q2. Which places are included in the 2-day Delhi sightseeing tour?
The suggested itinerary covers Jama Masjid, Chandni Chowk, Red Fort, Raj Ghat, India Gate, Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, Qutub Minar, Lotus Temple and Humayun’s Tomb. Depending on your interests and available time, the final afternoon can include Lodhi Garden or Dilli Haat. The confirmed route may change according to opening hours and traffic.
Q3. What is included in the private Delhi tour package?
The proposed package includes a private air-conditioned vehicle, an experienced driver, hotel pickup and drop-off, and sightseeing along the agreed route. Guide services, monument tickets, meals and hotel accommodation are included only when mentioned in your quotation. Your booking confirmation will explain the complete inclusions.
Q4. What time does the Delhi sightseeing tour start and finish?
The suggested pickup time is around 8:30 AM on both days, with sightseeing usually finishing around 5:00–5:30 PM. These are approximate timings rather than fixed guarantees. Your pickup location, traffic, attraction queues and preferred walking pace can affect the schedule.
Q5. Can you arrange pickup from Delhi Airport or a railway station?
Airport and railway station pickup can be requested when booking. Share your flight or train details, arrival time and luggage requirements so the first day can be planned realistically. If you arrive later in the day, some visits may need to be moved, replaced or removed.
Q6. Are monument entry tickets and a tour guide included?
Monument tickets and licensed guide services are included only if clearly listed in the selected package. You can request a guide for one or both days. Before confirming, check whether your quotation includes entry fees, guide charges, optional rickshaw rides and any separately ticketed experiences.
Q7. Can I take the Delhi sightseeing tour on a Monday?
Yes, but the itinerary should be checked against each attraction’s current schedule. Not every Delhi monument follows the same weekly closure. For example, Akshardham is closed on Mondays, so it cannot be included as a Monday replacement visit. The route can be rearranged around available attractions.
Q8. What is the best time to visit Delhi for sightseeing?
October to March is generally the most comfortable period for exploring Delhi, according to Delhi Tourism. During warmer months, an earlier start, shorter outdoor visits and regular breaks can make the itinerary more manageable. Check the weather forecast before travelling and dress for the season.
Q9. Is this private Delhi city tour suitable for families and senior travellers?
The itinerary can be adapted for families and senior travellers with shorter walks, regular breaks and fewer sightseeing stops. Some monuments involve steps, uneven surfaces and walking between the vehicle and entrance. Share mobility needs and children’s ages before booking so the plan can prioritise comfort.
Q10. Is hotel accommodation included in the two-day tour?
This tour can be booked as a sightseeing-only package or with an optional one-night hotel stay. Accommodation and breakfast are included only when stated in the quotation. If you already have a hotel in Delhi, pickup and drop-off can be planned around that location.
