This is an interesting and off-beat tour of New Delhi and Old Delhi by students from Manzil, a non-profit that works in youth empowerment and learning. The tour uses the Delhi Metro, as well as two additional forms of 'green' transport that are popular with the common man in Delhi - the compressed natural gas (CNG) powered green auto-rickshaw, and the cycle-rickshaw. The tour provides income for the student-guides, and also helps to finance some programmes at Manzil.

The tour allows you to see many of the highlights of the city, have a bazaar walk through Old Delhi, experience rickshaw rides, check out the street food, get an introduction to various religions and cultures in India, and more importantly, it provides an opportunity to see Delhi through the eyes of young people who are full of optimism for the future. The students who do this tour love their city and it comes through during the tour. They are well-trained and knowledgeable about the places you visit on the tour.
