Delhi Layover Sightseeing Private - Custom Hrs, Itinerary

I booked this tour after our airline cancelled our connecting flight which left us with 8 hours in Delhi after an overnight international flight. Having 2 small kids, and sitting around the airport not being an option to expel energy- I booked this tour. Pankaj and Pankaj were the most fantastic guide and driver and completely tailored this tour to our needs and requests. We covered India Gate, the Children’s Playground nearby and Humayun’s Tomb. Pick up and drop off were stress free with them picking us up from our arrival terminal and dropping us to our departure terminal. We squeezed as much as we could in and offered suggestions on what we could do. They also took photos for us so that we could capture the perfect family shots. Would thoroughly recommend.

Karan Singh was very welcoming, knowledgeable and tailored the tour to match my interests and the time constraint. I would highly recommend him!

A fantastic tour and would thoroughly recommend. After our airline cancelled our connecting domestic flight from an overnight flight from Australia and left us with an extended layover in Delhi we thought we’d spend the morning seeing the sights of Delhi. Pankaj picked us up from the airport and then we met up with our guide Pankaj and began the tour. The tour was fully customised and focused on entertaining a couple of overtired kids and their very grateful parent. We saw Humayan’s Tomb, India Gate and the Children’s Park (at our request). Nothing was an issue and they were able to balance all ages and sightseeing requests. Pankaj was able to suggest the perfect photo ops and kindly took photos for us. Pick up and drop off were seamless and it made what could’ve been a stressful time into a fun morning adventure. Would thoroughly recommend.

Excellent communication, expectation and time mgt. We arrived at 0500 am, got picked up at 0600 and returned at 0900. Exactly as agreed

I have rated this tour 5/5 because everything went very smoothly and the tour met all my expectations. I felt safe and comfortable throughout. The guide, Manoj, was friendly and professional and the driver, Pankaj, was friendly and reliable (and a good driver in the chaos!). They were there waiting for me at the designated meeting point at the airport in plenty of time. I was contacted the night before by Manoj, and he was also in touch while I was in the immigration queue (as an aside, this took 1 hour and 20 minutes). When we met up we made a plan for the day (see top tips below) and I was able to see several sights. Manoj appeared well-informed and gave me information about the sights and answered my questions about life in India. I saw some sights up close and others from the car, as time allowed. Summing up, I'm very glad I did this tour and think it is a great was to spend layover time and get a snapshot of some of Delhi with no hassle on the day itself. Getting the e-visa is more hassle! Top tips for anyone thinking of booking this: 1) If there are specific things you want to see, or even a specific restaurant, send the list to the tour company in advance and reiterate it to the guide. They can plan according to opening hours. You can also make a plan on the day, and the guide will have plenty of recommendations and be flexible according to your wishes 2) If you don't want to shop, tell the guide that they shouldn't take you into any shops - you are not obliged to buy anything, but some people may feel pressure and find the situation awkward. Simply wandering around the market is fine if this is of interest 3) You can use USD (small bills, no change available) to pay for a tuk-tuk ride, and cards in the restaurant (and the shops you may visit) but otherwise may need some INR. The guide will take you to an ATM if needed 4) Guides will be trained to take you to eating places (to try e.g. Masala Chai, Pani Puri and to have dinner) known to have good hygiene standards and will provide bottled water from the car

Can't thank enough the tour agent and the driver who made my long Delhi layover an unforgettable experience. I ordered the tour on the same day of my arrival and in couple of hours the driver was in the airport with my name on a welcome sign. The tour guide customized the tour according to my preferences. At the end of the day I was safely transported back to the airport on time before my flight. Highly recommend this tour from Delhi airport.

We only had a few hours in Delhi but this felt like a full vacation as we got to see so many places in the same evening! Despite us landing in the late afternoon, Prakash made sure that we saw as many places as possible. He was attentive, kind, and knew all about the history of Delhi, he made sure to take us to all the places we wanted to see and gave us plenty of time. It was a very smooth experience. Beyond being a phenomenal guide, he was fantastic company and the experience was very relaxing as we had a car and a lovely driver too. Prakash also made sure to take out pictures and he was a lovely photographer. We got to explore a beautiful city with so much history instead of sitting in an airport, I highly recommend!

We had a 15 hour stopover in Dehli on our way to Bali and decided to take a tour of the city. Our tour guide was Manoj ahirwar and our driver Habib was so helpfull in us getting around the city in one day. Their English was very good and Manoj was very well informed on the history of the city. He also helped us haggle on items in a few of the shops we stopped off at.

I had a excellent time on my layover tour. I have never been to India before, so it was important to me to see as much as possible during the little time that I had. My guide Pankaj really helped me by planning the day so we could maximise my time. We managed to see and do quite a lot without rushing at all. He was very informative and also accommodating to my wishes. He also took good pictures! My driver, Ali was friendly and also very punctual. He safely got us to and from the airport and between places. Communication was great with both guide and driver. I would happily do more tours with them both in the future. I would highly recommend!

The guides are very kind and they did their best to accommodate me during my layover. They took me to do a tour of the city even if it was early and most monuments were closed.

Very informative and interesting tour. Our guide Manoj Ahirwar and our driver Pankaj shared a lot of different information with us and complemented each other as needed . They were very friendly and positive. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Good layover Delhi sightseeing tour. Both tour guide Manoj and Veerpal will take care of you and your luggages in the car.

Nice tour for a long lay over. The tour includes 6 stops and our flight was delayed so we could only make it to the Humayun’s tomb and Swaminarayan Temple but both were amazing. The driver and the tour guide are very friendly and helpful. Recommend this tour!

Our flight was delayed a lot, but our driver Arun and tourguide Pankaj waited patiently for us. We only went to visit Swaminarayan Akshardham and Humayun’s Tomb because there was not more time left after the delay. But it was still totally worth it and Pankaj had a lot of interesting things to tell about the places.

What a great experience! Faced with a long layover for a domestic flight, we decided to take a chance and book this tour. We could not be more pleased. Our guide Aman and driver Rajendra were fantastic. The personalized experience makes such a difference. Having been in Gujarat state for the previous few days and getting a little too adventurous with the local food, we were suffering a bit. Our guide was so understanding and helpful and simply adjusted schedule to accommodate us; spending a bit more time here or there and taking us were we needed to go for some hydration, etc. Seeing the sights with local knowledge is priceless. Navigating the lines For tickets, entry to the places, etc was easy and we definitely saved time having Aman lead the way. You will see the sights and you will also be brought to a market where just about everything you could want to purchase to bring or send home is located from Kashmir wool scarves and rugs to custom tailored clothing to trinkets. Be prepared for the hard sale and just remember that it’s OK to politely say no and it is expected to negotiate! This is normal. If you do not want to go to these places, just say no, but for us it was a part of the entire experience. As was the western style lunch spot, for us a microbrewery. Although we only used the opportunity for hydration (we could not yet do food due to the above mentioned issues) and the welcomed Air Conditioning, this is an opportunity for your guide and driver to have lunch. Take the time to relax and fuel up for the next places! If there are specific things you want to see, they will accommodate. Cannot recommend this more highly. We would actually book this again in the future and simply adjust to places we have not seen or even go back to one of the more impressive locations like the Qutb Minar. Thanks guys!

Couldn't recommend doing this more! Once we purchased the tickets, someone immediately reached out to us! We use this service every 3 months and have been happy every time!! Such an amazing experience at the Taj Mahal as well!
