Free Tour of Old Delhi with Asia's Largest Spice Market
♡ Save


Explore Old Delhi’s vibrant soul! Visit the historic Jama Masjid, Chawri Bazaar, and the colorful wedding markets of Chandni Chowk. Taste iconic flavors on Parantha Street and capture street photos in the bustling Spice Market.
We kick-start our day at the Chawri Bazaar Metro Station in Old Delhi where an other-worldly charm awaits us. This colorful part of the city has been charming visitors for over three centuries. It encompasses some of the best street-food of the city, age-old bazaars, historical monuments, and numerous religious structures (including the largest mosque of India!).
We start our adventure with a walk through the bazaar next to the subway, appreciating the hard-working locals pushing heavy carts through narrow alleys. Continuing our walk, we stop at the 17th century mosque Jama Masjid. Next, we explore the wedding paraphernalia market Kinaari Bazaar. Walking through this captivating street, we stop for a cup of masala chai (the national drink of India!) before savoring the much-loved local snacks Paranthas! I'll take you through a hidden laneway, stopping for photos in front of painted havelis (mansions) dating back to the 19th century. We continue our journey to Khari-Baoli, the largest spice market of Asia!
