Overview
Evening Old Delhi City Tour: The sumptuousness of the Old Delhi City Tour in the evening propels visitors into one of the oldest and most colorful enclaves of Delhi, going through an extravagant montage of rich cultural tradition, magnificent architecture, and teeming life in one of the oldest quarters of the city. This 4-6-hour tour shall give the visitor yet another look at both historical and contemporary life in Delhi.
It is that time of the day when, with the fleecing across the sky amidst colors and sounds and smells, Old Delhi, with its labyrinthine lanes and centuries-old architecture, comes to life. The evening tour covers some iconic landmarks of Old Delhi where the historical facades in the last light of the day seemed to wear an element of a magical tinge. The Red Fort stood majestically at the very beginning of the city: a UNESCO World Heritage Site made from red sandstone, showing a favorable flair for the evening light. Internal exploration would come out quite limited because of the evening hours, but the views externally are dramatically glimpsing at Mughal grandeur.
