Old & New - enjoy unravelling two contrasting faces of delightful Delhi. In addition to the popular sites, we visit some of the hidden gems of the city.
Explore the walled city of Shahjahanabad on a walking tour. Popularly known as Old Delhi, it dates back to the 16th century. Spread across a maze of alleys, Old Delhi is known for its traditional & colourful bazaars - full of character & high in spirit.
After jostling with the hustle and bustle of the old quarter, we now switch over to the relatively modern side of India's capital.
New Delhi with its British built buildings, tree-lined avenues, relaxed hangout spots and contemporary cafes is in complete contrast to the cosmic chaos of old Delhi. Grab a cup of coffee and spend some time relaxing at a popular spot which not many tourists would know.
There are some hidden gems of the city and we unveil those only after you have joined the tour. These attractions are safe, open to the public and easily accessible.
