Full Day Old and New Delhi City Tour by Discover The Taj Company

Delhi is more than just a capital city — it’s a living museum of India’s past, present, and future. With towering Mughal architecture, bustling bazaars, colonial-era buildings, and ultra-modern neighborhoods, Delhi is a city of contrasts that will take your breath away. That’s why a Full Day Old and New Delhi City Tour by Discover The Taj Company is the perfect way to dive into the heart of this incredible metropolis — without feeling overwhelmed.

Discovering Two Faces of One City

Delhi is divided into two distinct parts: Old Delhi and New Delhi. Each has its own vibe, stories, and charm. Old Delhi is chaotic, colorful, and full of historical wonders. It’s where the scent of spices fills the air and centuries-old buildings still stand tall. In contrast, New Delhi is all about wide boulevards, diplomatic enclaves, and graceful architecture from the British Raj.

With Discover The Taj Company, you get a curated experience of both worlds — in one day.

Morning: Dive Into Old Delhi’s History

Your tour kicks off with a hotel pickup in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Your guide greets you with a warm smile and a brief introduction to what’s ahead.

The first stop? Jama Masjid, one of India’s largest and most impressive mosques. Built in the 17th century, it stands tall as a symbol of Mughal grandeur. After that, hop on a rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk, Delhi’s oldest market. This thrilling ride takes you through narrow alleys brimming with life — from spice shops to street food vendors and hidden temples.

Next, you’ll visit the Red Fort (Lal Qila) from the outside — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an icon of India’s freedom struggle. The fort’s mighty red sandstone walls and intricate design never fail to impress.

Don’t forget to stop by Raj Ghat, the serene memorial of Mahatma Gandhi, surrounded by peaceful gardens — a perfect place for a moment of quiet reflection.

Afternoon: Strolling Through New Delhi’s Elegance

After soaking in the historic charm of Old Delhi, it’s time to experience the organized and elegant vibe of New Delhi. You’ll visit India Gate, a war memorial dedicated to Indian soldiers, and then drive past the Parliament House, President’s House, and other important government buildings.

One of the highlights of the tour is Qutub Minar, the tallest brick minaret in the world. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a brilliant example of Indo-Islamic architecture. Your guide will share the fascinating stories behind its construction and the history that surrounds it.

Next stop: Humayun’s Tomb, a stunning precursor to the Taj Mahal. Its Persian-inspired architecture, serene gardens, and intricate details make it one of the most beautiful monuments in the city.

You’ll also visit Lotus Temple, a modern architectural marvel known for its flower-like shape and spiritual serenity. It’s open to people of all faiths and offers a calm space to sit and meditate.
