Old and New Delhi Private Guided Tour

Undoubtedly, Old and New Delhi Private Guided Tour Package is highly suggestive of the heart of India’s capital, where historical and modern textures are dominating. The eight-hour guided tour will take one to travel through time-from the narrow, busy streets of the Old Delhi to the wide, tree-lined avenues of New Delhi. And also it will provide the opportunity to be escorted by an erudite guide around the icons, get to know some of the rich history of Delhi and come in contact with lifestyles of two huge contrasts of the city.
Old Delhi : A Walk Through History
Established as Shahjahanabad by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century, Old Delhi was. A walk through any part of this ancient city will remind one of a time long forgotten in history and culture. But with so many narrow alleys and jam-packed bazaars to speak of, not to mention its architecture from the Mughal period, it whisks one straight into the whirling bedlam of Chandni Chowk-perhaps the oldest and most frenetic marketplace in town. Here, the view runs riot-a gamut of street food stalls selling spicy ‘chaats’ and sweets to the traditional textiles, spices, and jewelry shops.

New Delhi: The Modern Contrasting Element
Although Old Delhi has insignificant small lanes, British architect Edwin Lutyens designed New Delhi as a skewed setup at the turn of the previous century, featuring wide boulevards, grand colonial-era buildings, and modern infrastructure. Further ahead, this tour reaches here for a glimpse of the war memorial in the shape of Central India Gate, built in the memory of the Indian soldiers who died in the Indo Pak wars, and Rashtrapati Bhawan or President House – an imposing structure reflecting the rule of India.
