Things to do in New Delhi

We booked this with local tour operator Dream India Trip and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The Taj Mahal was definitely the highlight of the trip. Seeing it in person was unforgettable, and the whole entry process felt seamless, allowing us to enjoy the place at our own pace. Our guide Shohil was very well-versed, explaining the history and details clearly without overloading us with information, which made the it even more meaningful. We also visited Agra Fort, very impressive and insightful into Mughal history, with nice views of the Taj Mahal. The stop at Baby Taj was more relaxed — a nice contrast after the crowds. Our driver Naresh was punctual, professional, and made the long drive from Delhi comfortable. The buffet lunch was a good break in between sightseeing and rounded out the day nicely. Overall, the tour felt well-paced and personal, not rushed. Highly recommend if you want a hassle-free day trip, especially with companionship of Shohil and Naresh.

Our full-day tour covered most sites except the stepwell and the President’s House due to time limits/smog. We started around 9:30 am at our request, but I reco sticking to the original schedule and confirming timings with the guide in adv. The guide, Deepanshu (Happy), was knowledgeable and explained the history well, though doing some prior research helps since the many names can be confusing esp. for foreigners. He was also open to suggestions on what you want to do (eat local food, see specific place, etc). Transportation was comfortable, with punctual pickup and drop-off from our hotel and in between places. The driver, Sajan, drove safely. Lunch was arranged at a place called “Local,” which I do not recommend. Many menu items were unavailable, and the staff were rude and asked for a service charge on top of 25% VAT and 5% GST. Overall, this tour is a good option for first-time visitors who want a structured one-day introduction to Delhi, especially if you have limited time.

Many interesting things to see and do. Our knowledgeable guide Karan filled us in on information for all the different sites. The history he explained and the sheer wonder of these historical places blew us away.

It was such an amazing tour! Bhawani, our guide, was very knowledgeable & funny. Made us feel comfortable and immersed in the culture and history of the city. We went to Hawa Mahal, Amber Fort, Jal Mahal, City Palace, and Jantar Mantar. Took us to textile, jewelry, miniature painting spots so we could see local industries. Highly recommend him and this tour. Also recommend Sanju our driver.

Afzal, my guide for the day, perfectly ensured my very first visit to New Delhi. His sense of professionalism, his seriousness, and his perfect knowledge of the city make him a significant asset!

Great experience at the Taj Mahal Visiting the Taj Mahal with an experienced local guide was absolutely worth it. The guide explained every detail clearly and shared deep historical insights, taking very good care of us throughout the trip. I highly recommend having a local guide—you’ll get accurate and meaningful information from someone who truly understands the place. The Taj Mahal is respectful, impressive, and emotional at the same time. The driver was also very polite and professional. And the price was only 1,000—excellent value for such great service. I would definitely use this service again on my next visit.

wonderful sites, well organized, good value. able to purchase souvenirs after from a local business made from Taj Mahal marble and stone, hand crafted. our tour guide Azhur was very knowledgeable as well and kind!

The best part of this trip wasn't the place itself, but the people I met, especially my tour guide Jugnu. He is the best guide I have ever had, making my trip truly special. He knows his job well, took great photos of me, and is very knowledgeable and informative. He treated me like family, was friendly, and very approachable. If you want to create memorable moments at the Taj Mahal, book this tour package and request Jugnu as your guide. I highly recommend this experience.

the tour was just amazing. From pick up to drop off, my tour guide Ishan was super amazing and a lot of insightful stories and facts about The dignts. definitely recommend the tour and Ask for Ishan🙏🏻😍
