Delhi tours at a glance
Delhi tours fall into four groups. Private city tours cover Old and New Delhi by car with a guide. Food tours work through the lanes of Chandni Chowk on foot or by rickshaw. An evening tour to the Akshardham Temple adds a water show. Day trips leave Delhi for Agra and the Taj Mahal. Most of them can be booked with pick-up from a hotel in Delhi, but pick-up, entry tickets and meals are often tied to the option you choose at checkout.
That matters for sightseeing in Delhi, because the entry fees of the monuments are separate from the guide and the car. If you compare a tour package from Delhi, look at three things: whether pick-up is included, whether the monument tickets are part of your option, and whether food is covered. The lists below follow those points.
Our picks: Delhi tours
Our take: The private city tours suit a first visit, with the full-day version covering more ground than the half-day options. Pick the Old Delhi food walk for the lanes of Chandni Chowk, and the Taj Mahal day trip if Agra is the goal. The temple tour is the choice for Akshardham.

Private guided tours with pick-up
A driver, a guide and a car for the day.
A delhi guided tour in a private car is the easiest way to see Old and New Delhi in one day without handling transport yourself. The full-day private tour includes an air-conditioned vehicle with a driver, a professional guide, water bottles and windbreakers, and all taxes, fuel, tolls and parking. Monument tickets are only included if you pick the option "tour with entrance fees". Meals and tips are not included. In the itinerary the Red Fort and Chandni Chowk are drive-pasts, so for a visit inside you need a different plan.
The half- or full-day private tour offers hotel or airport pick-up, an air-conditioned vehicle, a live guide, water bottles, umbrellas, parking and taxes. A rickshaw ride in Old Delhi, the monument tickets and a lunch are separate options, and the lunch belongs to one particular option. Drinks and tips are not part of it. Read the option text before you pay, and if a sight matters to you, read its page first, for example the Red Fort, the Qutub Minar or Humayun's Tomb.
Delhi food tours in Old Delhi
An evening feast and a food and heritage walk.
A delhi food tour usually means Chandni Chowk. The evening tour called Old Delhi: Food Tour Featuring a Generous Feast After Dark runs about 3.5 hours. It includes local food, chai, a storyteller guide, hand sanitiser, wet wipes, a tuk-tuk ride and entrance fees. It starts at 1 Chandni Chowk Road in Old Delhi and does not include a hotel transfer, a water bottle or tips.
The Food and Heritage Walk through Old Delhi takes 4 to 5 hours. The meeting point is Gate 7 of the Rajiv Chowk metro station. The product lists bottled water, snacks, a cycle rickshaw, e-rickshaw or tuk-tuk ride, food and drinks, entry tickets and fees, and a local guide. Both tours need you to get yourself to the meeting point, so plan the metro: the Delhi Metro page explains the stations. For the market lanes and the mosque, see Chandni Chowk.
Evening tour to the Akshardham Temple
A short trip with electronics left at the entrance.
The Akshardham tour takes about 3 hours and includes hotel pick-up and drop-off, a professional guide, a private car, a water bottle, and parking and taxes. The ticket is only part of the option you select. The temple asks visitors to hand in phones, cameras and other electronics, and the tour conditions say the same, so travel light. The temple is closed on Mondays; the page on the Akshardham Temple lists the exhibitions, the water show and the dress rules.
Day trips from Delhi
Agra, the Taj Mahal and the wider Golden Triangle.
The private Taj Mahal and Agra day trip with transfers uses a private air-conditioned vehicle with a live guide, hotel pick-up and drop-off, bottled water, taxes and fees. Monument entrance fees and a buffet lunch at a five-star hotel are options, not part of every booking. Choose the pick-up in New Delhi when you book. The low list price shown for this trip does not cover every pick-up, ticket and meal option, so treat it as a starting price and not as an all-inclusive package.
The Taj Mahal tour page explains the roads, the Gatimaan Express from Hazrat Nizamuddin station, the ticket and the Friday closure. If you want more than one day, Golden Triangle tours add Jaipur by private car. The things to do in Delhi page helps you decide which sights to put on a shorter city day.

Frequently asked questions
Which Delhi tour suits a first visit?
A private full-day city tour gives an overview of Old and New Delhi with a driver and guide. Add the entry option if you want to go inside the monuments. A food walk in the evening fits well on another day.

Only where the option says so. For the private city tours and the Taj Mahal day trip, tickets are an option. The evening food tour includes entrance fees, while the Akshardham tour includes the ticket only with the option.
Can I book a tour with hotel pick-up in Delhi?
Yes for most of the private tours. The food tours start at a meeting point instead, so check the start line of each one.
Is the Taj Mahal day trip an all-inclusive tour?
No. Pick-up, entry tickets and a hotel lunch depend on the option you select, so check the option before you pay.
