Take an express train to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise, or eat the best vegetarian street food in India’s kebab-loving capital city with these surprising new ways to experience Delhi.

Delhi is one of the only places in the world where the past is often just as vocal as the present. Mughal-era monuments stand alongside modern-day coffee houses, and the sprawling labyrinth of Old Delhi is just an hour’s drive from the striking architecture of Lutyens Delhi. These tours shed new light on some of Delhi’s classic experiences.
