Delhi Tours & Holidays

Escorted tours and holidays to Delhi

Humayuns Tomb

India’s iconic capital blends tradition and modernity like no other: Delhi is a city of 100 worlds.

On a Delhi holiday you can marvel at skyscrapers and colonial buildings alike, as well as explore ancient forts and stunning temples. And that’s before we mention the food, which ranges from street stalls that deserve Michelin stars to restaurants that actually have them. Plus, its status as a social, cultural, and touristic hub means easy access to many of India’s other treasures.

With a Newmarket Holidays escorted tour of Delhi, you’ll be able to cut through the bustle and see the best of what this thriving city has to offer, from its teeming bazaars to its quaint old town. Plus, you’ll have the chance to revel in India’s religious and cultural diversity, with the city being home to hundreds of houses of worship and even more languages.

If the thrum of the city gets a little too much, there are plenty of idyllic spots to get away from it all, from gorgeous, manicured gardens to high-end spas that will rejuvenate even the most exhausted traveller. Really, there isn’t anything a Delhi tour can’t offer!

Best things to do in Delhi

Delhi, known as one of the most populous cities in the world, certainly has the wow factor to impress even the most well-travelled adventurers. Filled to the brim with things to do, narrowing it down to our top 3 was a mammoth task.

 

Samosa

Food and drink in Delhi

Delhi versions of the treat are lightly spiced yet big on flavour. Definitely get a handful of them from a vendor, because there’s no way you’re stopping at just one of these glorious parcels of flavour.

No Delhi food tour would be complete without trying some Panipuri, the tangy, crunchy, tamarind-tinged treat that is both spicy and refreshing. A crisp, puffed up bread is filled with either spiced potatoes or chickpeas, and lashed with tamarind water and yoghurt to create a taste sensation that will leave you wanting more.

Delhi is one of the warmest capitals in the world, but one way to cool down in the buzzing heat is with a traditional lassi. A blend of yoghurt, water, spices, and occasionally fruits, it’s like drinking an ice cream but with a little more punch.
