Top New Delhi Day Trips

This trip is amazing, it will give you a really in depth look into culture and you will see some wonderful temples and learn about different religions. You must ask for Serender as your driver and Dhirendra as tour guild. They are both outstanding at what they do. Crystal india was an excellent company to deal with. This was a real eye opener and enjoyable ride through old Delhi on a bike rickshaw. The markets are a must see.

As Indian roads tend to be busy and my time was tight, I opted for this direct train tour offer to visit the Taj Mahal and Red Fort. As a solo traveler, I was anxious at the idea of negotiating busy railway stations. But with this tour I need not have worried. I was collected from my hotel by an excellent local driver who took me to the station whereby I was greeted by a company representative who handed me my tickets and literally placed me in my allocated seat. Breakfast was served and on reaching the one stop to Agra, again I had a guide meet and greet me as I stepped off the train. That Guide is Shaan who accompanied me for the rest of the day and by day’s end placed me back into my seat for the return journey to Delhi. I travel extensively and have been on many tours. Shann stands out as an exceptional guide. He has an affable personality, a positive outlook and loves telling visitors about his culture and history. He made it clear from the outset that this was MY day, my discovery and tailor-made the day around me and not a rigid schedule or itinerary. I requested not to doing any shopping etc but to concentrate on the history and the architecture world heritage buildings that lay before us. He explained as little or as much as I requested. The day was amazing, funny and balanced. Lunch was delicious and dropping into a local cafe for an afternoon coffee was just what the doctor ordered. My comfort and safety was Shann’s priority. The tour includes more the the Taj Mahal and Red Fort and we were ably driven from point-to-point by the excellent driver Shoaib. On my return to Delhi, again, I was greeted by my driver as I left the train and delivered to my hotel. India is a fascinating place but train stations are bustling. Even I would not want to negotiate such a transport hub. Take my advice, don’t travel to this fabled area by car, the 2 hour train journey is much more relaxing and this company made it a seamless, smooth, safe and stress-free day. Thanks to everyone.

The tour with Maahi is excellent. One of the very few female guides in India, she is very caring and informative in terms of the briefing and introduction. She is also a good photographer, for tourists who want good shots, recommended here ! Perhaps she is a lady, so very kind and very well organized, for those who travel with kids or woman friends, you should choose Maahi.
