Additional Information
Serving as the national capital, Delhi is a city of great historical and cultural importance to India. It’s a multicultural metropolis, rich with time-old charm. Delhi’s history can be traced back to the epic Mahabharata, where it was referred to as Indraprastha. Over the years, eight other cities sprouted up around Indraprastha, including Lal Kot, Siri, Dinpanah, Quila Rai Pithora, Ferozabad, Jahanpanah, Tughlakabad, and Shahjahanabad. Significant dynasties such as the Tughlaqs, the Khiljis, and the Mughals have ruled from Delhi, leaving behind a legacy of architectural marvels. Delhi serves as the perfect gateway to the diverse and fascinating world that is India.

Nice tour of Delhi city in one day - We booked this tour along with an overnight Agra tour with the same company and they kindly arrange everything so that the two tours could fit with our 3-day week-end.
Mr Rishi was our friendly and caring driver for the whole week-end and we were guided by Mr Arif Sheikh for our full day in Delhi. Despite the high pollution level, we were able to cover all the spots by our car. It would have been better if we were provided masks for this exceptional situation. Nonetheless Mr Arif was very knowledgeable and informative about the story of the city and the different monuments visited. In the overall, we can just repeat what we've written about the Agra tour, everything was well organised and the timing was perfectly respected with enough time for each spot visited and a final drop off at the airport as requested.

A great way to see Delhi - I had a private tour of Delhi with Arif and it was a fantastic experience. As a solo female traveller, I wanted a safe and easy way to see the main sights and this was perfect. Arif was incredibly professional and knowledgeable and gave me lots of interesting information about the places we visited as well as culture and religion in India. He even gave me great advice on a Diwali party outfit when we visited a market!
If you're short on time in Delhi, or just looking for a tour that shows you everything then I absolutely could not recommend this more. Everything was fitted to my itinerary, perfectly timed and made for a very enjoyable way to see Delhi (plus Arif knows all the best angles to get good photos at the sights!).

New and Old Delhi in a day! - To cover a city as Delhi in a day tour is a challenge. Agra Day Tours and the guide Sheikh Arif did it very well.
From the booking interactions, all clear and prompt, to the tour itself. Sheikh Arif covered all the proposed itinerary giving us plenty of information about the places we visited. Both him and the driver were very friendly, and the car as good as well. Sheikh Arif was able to fit some specific visit requests from us, and was very attentive all times.
We also used Agra Day Tours for the day trip to Agra, which is in another review.

Great time in Delhi - With the help of our tour guide, Adbul Haadi, we were able to explore Delhi (both new and old) and able to understand its rich history. Culturally diverse and complex. India’s astounding diversity is unique and unparalleled. It’s rich heritage (five thousand years of history), is amongst the oldest in the world.
Will definitely recommend Abdul haadi as guide to our friends!

New experience one day Delhi trip - This is my first time to visit India. Luckily we joined a private tour and they arranged the schedule perfectly on time. The driver,Lucky and the guide,Sheikh Arif were very polite and friendly to drive us around the New and Old Delhi. Sheikh explained all the historical areas in a very informative way. The traffic is very busy in Delhi and the driver drive very carefully. All the one day experience with the tour was excellent and comfortable. I am highly recommended their efforts in this one day Delhi trip.
