You will simply love this hop-on-hop-off private 3-hour tour of Old Delhi conducted on specially designed luxury rickshaws. The beauty of it is that you’ll also get to sample some of the legendary culinary offerings of the walled city. This rickshaw experience has been curated by two Delhi-based women who are passionate about the city. This beautifully curated tour is ranked among ‘The Top 50 Trips of The World’ by Outlook Traveller, India’s leading travel magazine. 


  • Going back in time with the intriguing twists and turns of the narrow alleys, navigated by safe and luxurious rickshaws
  • Highly knowledgeable, fun-loving guides
  • Sampling flavours and spices of Mughal-style food 

The atmospheric vibes of Old Delhi are enhanced by its bustling bazaars, centuries-old heritage sites, diverse religious places, and winding back alleys. The former fortified capital of the Mughal Empire has witnessed many defining events in the past centuries, and on this tour, we unravel its many layers so that you can better understand Delhi. You will experience the hustle and bustle of the charming city while comfortably seated on our rickshaws. Amongst the cocktail of various hidden and popular sights, your tour will include an inside visit to a Sikh temple and the Jama Masjid, the country's largest mosque. We will explore Khari Baoli, the largest spice market of Asia, so be prepared to be blown away by the plethora of aromas and colours of exotic spices, such as pepper, chillies, vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, saffron, masala (spices) mixes, Darjeeling tea, and countless herbs and nuts showcased in shopfronts. We will take you to some streets which have 17th-century havelis (mansions), telling tales of the past. Our well-trained rickshaw drivers will navigate you through the colourful and chaotic bazaars of Old Delhi, which are flooded with bustling shops selling wedding accessories, silver jewellery, traditional bridal outfits, glittering laces, turbans, etc. You will also sample some delicacies from the popular eateries. We will share unique photographs of the old city, then and now — and as a lovely memory of this experience, you will take home a gift: a specially drafted Souvenir book on Old Delhi, which we have compiled with the help of experts to remind you of all the places we visited.

Your enthusiastic guide will customize the trip to meet your interests and offer you a perfect blend of architecture, history, landmarks, culture, bazaars, and food. To enhance the experience, throughout the tour, your guide will give you live commentary with the help of technically advanced wireless audio headsets.

(In case you are short of time, we can arrange a quick, 1.5-hour overview tour of Old Delhi)
