Itinerary

Expand all

Day 1: The Soul of Old Delhi (Shahjahanabad)

Morning: Spiritual Grandeur at Jama Masjid

Your first day begins in the heart of the 17th-century city built by Emperor Shah Jahan. Start at Jama Masjid. As you climb the steep stairs, the noise of the city begins to fade, replaced by the vastness of the courtyard that can hold 25,000 worshippers.

Local Tip: Dress modestly. Shoulders and knees must be covered. You can rent robes at the entrance for a small fee.

Mid-Morning: Rickshaw Ride through Chandni Chowk

From the mosque, your guide will lead you to a bicycle rickshaw. This is the quintessential Old Delhi experience. You will dive into the narrow lanes of Chandni Chowk, specifically Khari Baoli, Asia’s largest wholesale spice market. The air here is pungent with chili and turmeric—it’s a sensory explosion that defines the 2-Day Old and New Delhi Guided Tour.

Afternoon: The Red Fort and Raj Ghat

After a traditional lunch of Paranthas (stuffed flatbreads) in the famous Paranthe Wali Gali, head to the Red Fort (Lal Qila). This massive fortress-palace represents the pinnacle of Mughal creativity. Spend your time exploring the Diwan-i-Aam (Hall of Public Audience) and the ornate marble palaces.

To end the afternoon on a reflective note, visit Raj Ghat, the memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi. The transition from the opulent fort to this simple, black marble platform surrounded by greenery offers a poignant look at India’s path to independence.

Day 2: The Elegance of New Delhi (Lutyens’ Delhi)

Morning: The Garden Tomb of Humayun

Start your second day at Humayun’s Tomb. Built in the mid-16th century, this was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent. The symmetry of the Charbagh (four-quadrant) gardens and the soaring dome provide a stark, peaceful contrast to the bustle of the previous day. It is often cited by travelers as their favorite spot in the city due to its incredible preservation and photogenic angles.

Mid-Day: The Imperial Corridor and India Gate

Next, your private Delhi city guide will take you through the wide avenues of Lutyens' Delhi. You will drive past the Rashtrapati Bhavan (President's House) and the Parliament House. A stop at India Gate is a must. This 42-meter-high arch commemorates Indian soldiers who died in World War I. It is the social hub of New Delhi, where you’ll see families enjoying ice cream and vendors selling colorful toys.

Afternoon: Qutub Minar and the Lotus Temple

Head south to the Qutub Minar complex. This UNESCO site dates back to the 12th century and showcases the dawn of Indo-Islamic architecture. Don't miss the Iron Pillar, which has stood for over 1,500 years without rusting—a testament to ancient Indian metallurgy.

Finally, visit the Lotus Temple. This Baháʼí House of Worship is famous for its flower-like shape and is open to people of all faiths. The interior is a place of absolute silence, offering a moment of Zen before you conclude your tour.

Frequently asked questions

Is 2 days enough to see Delhi?

While you could spend a week in Delhi, 2 days is the perfect amount of time to see the "Big Seven" monuments and experience the contrast between Old and New Delhi. It is the most popular duration for travelers heading to the Golden Triangle (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur).

Is it safe for solo female travelers?

Yes, especially when booking a 2-Day Old and New Delhi Guided Tour. Having a local guide provides an extra layer of security, helps avoid unwanted attention in crowded markets, and ensures you use reputable transport.

Can I customize the itinerary?

Absolutely. Most guided tours allow flexibility. If you are a foodie, you can swap a monument for a dedicated street food crawl. If you love shopping, you can spend more time at Dilli Haat or Khan Market.

What is the average cost of a guided tour?

Prices vary based on luxury level. A private tour with an AC car, driver, and licensed guide typically ranges from $60 to $150 USD per day for a small group, excluding monument entrance fees.

      Verified The Best India Experience with a personal driver and guides.
We must give great appreciation to our driver Guddu, who was patient, kind, friendly and especially a skillful driver! He went above & beyond to meet our every need(taking member of group to hospital —dust allergies). His service and companionship on our travels was very reassuring & helpful. To be with a private driver for our small group of 4 was an excellent way to experience India. Our guides in the cities of Delhi, Agra. Jaipur were great choices who love their country and are passionate about sharing their country with others. Prakash Gaud of Best Varanasi Tours was our initial contact and helped plan our entire tour.

     Verified Incredible India with Jitu and India Bon Voyage
🇮🇳 Four trips to India, and India Bon Voyage still never disappoints! ❤️ Managed by Jitu, this tour company has made every India trip special for me and my residents and fellows. From airport pickups and carefully chosen hotels to magical Taj Mahal sunrises, curated shopping stops, and all the IG-worthy photo spots Jitu seems to know by heart, everything is thoughtfully planned so we can simply enjoy the trip. The VVIP treatment everywhere we go is a huge plus, but the value for money is SOOO good! 😂🙌 I keep coming back because traveling with India Bon Voyage makes exploring India easy, fun, and memorable. Thank you, Jitu, for always taking such good care of my group! Four trips down, and definitely not the last! 🇮🇳✨

     Verified Outstanding experience in both Varanasi and Agra!
We had an unforgettable journey through Varanasi and Agra thanks to our guide. At the Taj Mahal, their deep knowledge of Mughal architecture and history brought the monument to life, and they expertly guided us away from the heavy crowds to get the best views and photos. In Varanasi, they navigated the bustling alleys and ghats seamlessly, explaining the spiritual significance of the Ganga Aarti and morning boat ride with great care and respect. Punctual, professional, and genuinely attentive throughout. Highly recommended to anyone visiting North India!
