A Delhi city tour in the evening is a great way to explore the city’s bustling streets, colorful markets, and illuminated landmarks. The tour typically starts in the early evening, around 4-5 PM. Your guide will pick you up from your hotel and take you to your first destination, which is usually India Gate. This magnificent war memorial is beautifully lit up in the evenings and is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. You can take a leisurely walk around the monument, click some photos, and soak in the festive atmosphere.
Next, you will head to the Red Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was once the residence of Mughal emperors. Although the fort is closed to visitors after sunset, you can still admire its stunning architecture from the outside and take some pictures. The fort is also beautifully lit up at night, making for a great photo opportunity.
After the Red Fort, you will drive to Chandni Chowk, one of Delhi’s oldest and busiest markets. The market is a riot of colors, sounds, and smells, and is a great place to experience the hustle and bustle of Delhi’s street life. Here, you can try out some of Delhi’s famous street food, shop for souvenirs, or simply soak in the atmosphere.
Finally, you will head to the Lotus Temple, a stunning Bahá’í House of Worship that is shaped like a lotus flower. The temple is beautifully lit up in the evenings, and its serene surroundings make for a peaceful end to the tour. You can spend some time admiring the temple’s architecture, meditating, or simply enjoying the ambiance.
The tour usually ends around 9-10 PM, after which you will be dropped back to your hotel. Overall, an evening Delhi city tour is a great way to explore the city’s culture, history, and cuisine in a fun and festive atmosphere.
Our operator will take you up from your hotel or from Delhi Airport in the evening by 4:00 to 5:00 PM and proceed by Rickshaw towards our destinations.
India Gate
India Gate is a war memorial located in the heart of New Delhi, India. It was built in memory of Indian soldiers who died. At the centre of New Delhi stands the 42 m high India Gate, an “Arc-de-Triomphe” like archway in the middle of a crossroad. Almost similar to its French counterpart, it commemorates the 70,000 Indian soldiers who lost their lives fighting for the British Army during the World War I.
Red Fort
The Red Fort, also known as Lal Qila, is a 17th-century fort complex constructed by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. In the walled city of Old Delhi (presently), the fort was the palace for Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan’s new capital, Shahjahanabad.
Chandni Chowk
Chandni Chowk is a busy shopping area in the heart of old Delhi with markets full of spices, dried fruit, silver jewelry and vivid sarees, while the narrow side streets are crowded with tiny shops selling essential oils, stationery and traditional Indian sweets. Nearby, the vast Mughal-era Red Fort now houses a museum complex, and the 17th-century Jama Masjid is a huge red-sandstone mosque with towering minarets.
Lotus Temple (Bahai Temple)
It is known for its beautiful flower-like architecture and marvellous ambiance, which make it a popular tourist attraction for people of all faiths. The Bahai Lotus Temple is one of the world’s most beautiful religious buildings and a must-visit when in Delhi.

Excellent experience in Agra - I was going to try to visit Agra by figuring it out on my own. But I got lucky and found Sabir. He had the experience and professionalism... read more to get me in and out of Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal in the best way possible, at the times I wanted to go. He explained the history and significance of the sites in great detail and was super personable. He knew exactly where I should stand for the best photos. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. In fact, if i return with family/friends, I'm definitely going to contact Sabir. Great experience!

We were provided with Sabir by our Indian tour company and left for sunrise at the Taj Mahal, followed by a visit to Agra Fort. Sabir was very knowledgable and... read more enthusiastic about both places. Not only did he provide us with information, but he took us through at the optimum time given how busy the Taj is. He also gave us time as we wished to take it all in and did not hurry us in any way. Can't thank him and recommend him enough.

Great Escape - One professional/excellent guy that tours me around Taj Mahal and took best photos (no need to pay for professional photographer) though under the heat of the sun. He is... read more very knowledgeable about his craft. It was quick and short side trip after an exhausting exam in Delhi. But seeing Taj Mahal and gaining insights about the history, I forgot all the anxiety I had. Blissful enough I made my exam...Well done!

Amazing tour - Brilliant! Sabir took us around the Taj Mahal and taught us the culture, the history, and the beauty of the ancient structure. I've gained a whole new appreciation by seeing... read more it in person and learning about it from someone who makes sure you understand.
Thank you!
