Best Old Delhi Tour

Taj Mahal and Agra
Our pick

The best Old Delhi tour is our Old Delhi food and lanes: a guided walk through the lanes with food stops, from $33 per person, two travellers sharing. If you also want Agra, Delhi and Agra in three days includes Delhi as its own day.

Old Delhi is crowded and loud, and it rewards a guide who knows which lanes to take and which stalls are worth a stop.

We weighed time of day, heat, how much walking is involved and how the tour fits around other days in Delhi.
