(63 reviews)

2 to 3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

This isn’t your typical Old Delhi tour — it’s a curated experience by Anas Khan, an anthropologist, history writer, and TEDx speaker who grew up in these very lanes.

Old Delhi is one of the most fascinating and layered neighborhoods in India. From its maze-like streets and sacred shrines to vibrant bazaars and centuries-old traditions, this walk gives you a front-row seat to its past, present, and pulse.

We begin near the Red Fort, then explore:
– The most secular stretch of India, where temples, mosques, churches, and gurudwaras stand side by side
– Khari Baoli, Asia’s largest spice market — a sensory overload of aroma, color, and chaos
– Forgotten Mansions and hidden alleys steeped in oral histories
– A thrilling tuk tuk ride
– And a panoramic rooftop view from Jama Masjid, the city’s spiritual heart

This walk blends heritage, food, architecture, and living culture — perfect for history lovers, photographers, solo travellers, and anyone looking to truly experience Delhi.
