Itinerary
Your guide and driver will meet you at the lobby of Your Hotel, from where we’ll drive to Mehrauli.
This sprawling archaeological area is spread over 200 acres in Mehrauli, Delhi, adjacent to Qutub Minar World Heritage site and the Qutub complex. It consists of over 100 historically significant monuments. Overlooked by most of the tourist hordes, this park preserves some of the most historic relics of Delhi.
Visit a hidden alley which offers a vibrant blend of cool cafes, art, and culture. We’ll stop for a cup of coffee and a snack at a café with a sustainable approach and learn about the changing culture of Delhi.
This is India’s first open-air public art district. This initiative was begun by the St+art India Foundation, a non-profit organization working to make art accessible to a wider audience. The once non-descript area is now filled with over 50 murals created by both local and international artists.
The last stop of the tour is Sunder Nursery, a 16th-century heritage park complex perfect for taking a refreshing break in nature. The 90-acre complex is filled with beautifully landscaped grounds, natural water features, and restored Mughal-era monuments making for a scenic respite from the city.

The tour was super nice, and our guide KV was very informative and knoledgeble about history and culture! Recommemded :)
I had a great time on this tour discovering some of the less well known locations in Delhi. Jeswin was a great guide with an in-depth knowledge and passion for the places we visited.
A day out with Jeswin Joseph (Joe) Intrepid Urban Adventures seeing / hearing /smelling New Delhi. Absolutely loved Joe's enthusiasm for his task at hand and his love & Pride for his country. Took us to some beautiful sights around New Delhi. Couldn't have asked for more . 6 hrs of guided tour.. wonderful experience.
Our guide Neha was wonderful. Neha was very informative and flexible, showing us a side of Delhi we would not have experienced. The driver was lovely too. Thank you for a great tour.
neha, my guide, was fabulous. learned a lot about the city - and the food.
I really enjoyed this tour. Neha was very knowledgeable and shared lots of information about ancient and modern history and culture. Highly recommend the tour and Neha as the tour guide.
Had a fabulous day walking through some hidden gems of Delhi. Very relaxing and informative during all the hurly burly of Delhi. Absolutely loved the Mogul architecture and history available. Jeswin was great company.
Jeswin Joseph was our insightful tour leader. He was so friendly taking us to peaceful interesting places that focused on history and nature. I really liked our stop at a very cool cafe in a nightclub district that was again quiet as it was in the middle of the day.
Brilliant trip, Joe, (Jeswin) was a great guide..very knowledgeable and very patient...loved thos trip!
We did the “Hidden Gems” and “Street Food” tours on the same day, right after our first night in the city, and it turned out to be a fantastic introduction to the local customs, food, and everyday life. What truly made the experience special was our guide, Neha. She has an incredible combination of knowledge and charisma. She not only mastered all the information included in the tour, but also answered every single question we had about daily life in the city, traditions, and culture with honesty and depth. You can immediately tell when someone genuinely loves sharing what they know. We really enjoyed the dialogue and how easy it was to exchange ideas and perspectives. The conversations flowed naturally, and we ended up learning far more than we expected. Tip ahead! Be prepared to walk a lot (comfortable shoes are a must!), but every stop adds something valuable. We finished the day tired, but with a much deeper understanding of the place. We highly recommend booking with Intrepid Travel — and if you get the chance, ask for Neha. It truly went beyond our expectations.
The tour was well organised and the places we visited really interesting. It was fun to see the street art and the cafe where I had the opportunity to talk to local university students. The nursery and gardens are beautiful and worth the break from the hustle of Delhi. My only complaint is that our guide spent a lot of time texting and talking privately on his phone instead of interacting with us. Also there were a few very steep steps to climb to the main tomb which I -found difficult, being older and short. He did nothing to help me, just stood and watched me struggle.
We had a wonderful tour with karamveer who was an excellent guide. We enjoyed all aspects of the tour and learned many new things. The wall art was great. The visit to the beautiful gardens and monuments were a real highlight. It was lovely to be out in nature. The Indian snacks and tea at the JugMug cafe were fantastic. We enjoyed talking with each other and the vibe on the cafe was wonderful.
A very peaceful morning with Aakash walking through the beautiful gardens and hidden gems of Delhi. A very good choice of lunch stop with authentic Indian food specially selected by our guide.
A fabulous afternoon/evening exploring parts of Delhi I would otherwise not have known existed. Delicious food, amazing street art and fascinating archeological sites. Nothing was too much trouble, very relaxed and he made time to stop at India Gate for a photo op along the way. Highly recommend this tour.
Very good guide and interesting tour to peaceful parts of Delhi. Good lunch at nice cafe in vibrant area. Would recommend
Aakash took us to see a different side of Delhi, one of sumptuous gardens, quiet tombs and off beat street art. It was a welcome respite from the bustle of the city. The tour was informative, interesting and Aakash was super friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and spoke excellent English. We felt comfortable asking any question! We ate lunch at a charming, hidden away cafe and it was absolutely delicious (have the Pav Bhaji)! We would recommend this tour to anyone who likes gardens, cafes, wants to take a break from the busy streets and enjoy something different.
Nehs was our local guide. She was helpful, knowledgeable, funny and made the day wonderful. The trip gives a great over view on different places which would be difficult to cover if doing it without the local guide and transport. A must fo trip made better by Neha
Had a wonderful day out with Neha. Loved seeing less-visited parts of the city and a mix of historical and contemporary places. Neha was knowledgeable and friendly, very happy to answer my many questions and get to know me too. Our driver, Jitu, was helpful and drove safely, too.
If you are looking for a tour of Delhi that takes you beyond the regular tourist sites then this tour is perfect it shows you quite diverse and buffet aspects of the city
Neha took us to so many out of the way destinations and was very accommodating when we wanted to duck into shops near our lunch stop, where the food was delectable. A great day out and highly recommended.
KV was such a great tour guide. He was knowledgeable with explaining the importance and background. Thank you KV for taking us around, explaining and answering all our questions!
Great time and very informative. Aakash was excellent with his knowledge and insight to the history of the area. Delicious food at the food stop
The trip was the best start to my adventures in India… a fantastic introduction to a fascinating country by a very knowledgeable and friendly guide.
Thank you so much Neha… I really enjoyed your company and all the information you shared. Oh… and for ordering me THE most delicious lunch and chai tea! All the best for your future endeavours and we might just see you in NZ one day?!
This was a great way to experience Delhi beyond the typical tourist spots. The tour beautifully combined art, nature, and history, from exploring the city’s oldest archaeological park to discovering vibrant street art. The heritage garden was peaceful and stunning, and the open-air art district was full of creativity. Akashi, the local guide was knowledgeable and engaging, offering insights that truly brought each place to life. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a unique and authentic view of Delhi.
Thanks Neha for a great first day in Delhi! I learnt lots about history and daily life in India. And was nice to explore some of the more quieter parts of India before I explore the central city tomorrow. Would definitely recommend.
I loved my tour with Karamveer! He was so nice, friendly, and knowledgeable. He took as to really cool places and gave us the context in history of when each place was built.
What a great day!! Cavey, our guide, was wonderful! He was warm, caring, fun and very knowledgeable, leading us through Delhi's hidden gems. We loved it all!!
Delhi Hidden Gems was a wonderful glimpse into some of Delhi's rich history. I loved the day from beginning to end. Our tour guide, Cavey was perfect in every way...friendly, funny, kind and helpful ,And he knows his stuff!
Great trip, Aakash was very knowledgeable which was great for someone visiting India for the first time. He spoke passionately about his country and history making it very engaging.
Great tour and a really great experience. Aakash was very knowledgeable and was great company. Highly recommend this tour
My husband and I were the only guests on tour with Neha. We loved our day! It was a fantastic way to experience some nature within the hustle of the city. The 11th century monuments and ruins are breathtaking and great information is given during the tour. We also enjoyed walking around the Lodhi District. Neha answered many of our questions about modern life throughout India. It was like being on tour with a friend. Great value, highly recommend! Also: included in the tour is a delicious snack and coffee at a cute cafe.
Excellent introduction to life i India. Our guide Neha was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Tour driver kept us safe. Tour was a great mix of sights and Neha was able explain everything well. The Jugmug café was a great stop for food and coffee. Highly recommend this Tour.
Delhi Urban Adventure was such an incredible experience. We saw beautiful street art, wandered through Sunder Nursery, and had incredible food that I still dream about months later. Reetika made the entire day feel special and personal, and I’m so grateful for the care she put into everything. *Highly recommend*
Yudie took our small group on an amazing tour of the hidden gems of Delhi. I would highly recommend this tour as it was a lovely contrast to the hustle and bustle of Old Delhi. Yudie was very knowledgable and provided us with great information at each stop. The Sunder Nursey was a surprising favourite, and we finished the day with an amazing dinner recommended by Yudie. Thanks so much Yudie for a great day!
The Hidden Gems tour gave us an excellent opportunity to learn about the incredible history of Delhi. The Sunder Nursery was picturesque and the greenery in the areas we explored was beautiful to see. Our guide, Yudie (?) was informative, helpful and great company. Our tour finished with a delicious meal together. Highly recommended.
We really enjoyed the tour. Neha was a great guide. We would highly recommend this tour. It was very relaxed and Naha was very informative and pleasant.
Neha was an absolute gem of a guide. She was very knowledgeable and took us to some beautiful parks. It was lovely to be able to go to quieter places. This was an idea way for me to finish my Indian trip.
Aakash was a very fun guide and helped us feel welcome. He took note of our preferences and made sure we saw everything we wanted to. Great tour guide and good trip!
Tour guide was very fun and knowledgeable about the places and answered many questions we had. Great experience and learned a lot about Indian history and culture! Highly recommend!
Yudi was a wonderful guide. Subject knowledge impeccable, friendly and very handsome. Our driver was punctual and highly skilled.
A well guide tour. Not too stressful. Guide was friendly and informative. Neha showed us some great places. Great clean transport and a knowledgeable driver. Recommend.
This is an excellent day tour of Delhi, Neha made the whole day a fantastic experience, she was extremely knowledgeable on each location, very relaxed, no rushing and so lovely to spend the day with.
Great tour to see beautiful, calmer and more unusual places in Delhi. Neha was an excellent and friendly guide. I would recommend this tour!
Aakash was a fantastic guide- so knowledgeable. Lots of historical info but not too overwhelming. He managed to get us around so many extra stops and provided time for photo stops. Sunset at the Tomb was beautiful. He shared lots of extra tips on places to visit and food to try. He couldn’t have been more helpful. Thank you for a great afternoon.
This tour really changed my views on what Delhi truly is about. Beyond the cacophony of horns and frantic traffic lays a heart of tranquil spaces and secluded spots. Our driver was great, made even the chaos of Delhi traffic unremarkable. Aashak was a great guide with an excellent sense of humour. Provided candid conversation on many topics between our various destinations. Was very knowledgeable about the attractions and even provided suggestions of where to take the best photos. We were also introduced to a couple of new dishes which were delicious. Aashak has a culinary flare, that really made our meal a huge success. Overall was a very fun experience that I would highly recommend
This tour is a must do if you’re looking to experience some quiet and a more relaxing time outside of the usual hustle and bustle of Delhi. The Sunder Nursery in particular was a highlight with its open spaces and stunning landscape architecture and it was particularly beautiful at night. Our guide Aashak was fantastic and his knowledge of the history of the places we visited was excellent. He went out of his way to ensure we were looked after and we really loved the cafe he took us too and the food he suggested which gave us a taste of things we had yet to try. This really is a tour of hidden gems. Highly recommended.
What a wonderful day filled with beautiful and unexpectedly peaceful places. Loved the wide open spaces of Sunder Nursery, the fabulous and diverse art of Lodi colony and the historic and picturesque Mehrauli Park. Our guide KV was so friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the walking to explore the sights and the honking and jostling of the crazy traffic around us as we travelled between places. I especially enjoyed the absolutely amazing food and cafe atmosphere for our finale. Highly recommended.
Three locations in Delhi where we could avoid the hustle of the streets for a while and put things into a historical context. The Barcelona Sunrise at the JugMug afterwards topped off a great day.
