Built in the 17th Century, it was, arguably, the wealthiest and most attractive city globally at that time.
Present-day, as you navigate its four-century-old maze of narrow lanes held in place by giant electrical wire networks and scented with the aroma of brewing tea and the spicy fragrance of breakfast curry, you witness a staggering simultaneity of bygone times and emerging future, vying for your notice.
- Kid Friendly (must be with parents & guardians)
- Dress code needs to me moderate according to conservative society of Old Delhi.

Grateful for super amazing Cycle ride experience - I went for lutyens Delhi trip on 19 July.
I am so happy and super satisfied by the experience. Our Tour Guide was Rahul sir and Mukesh sir . First of all the cycles we got were super comfortable and well maintained .They personally made sure everyone was comfortable with their cycle according to their heights. Trip started at sharp 7am.
The thing that I loved the most is that both the guides took such a good care for all of us . We felt so safe and cared .I drove my cycle like a 5 year kid without any stress. Loved all the stories and Chai chit chat . Tour was very well planned. We covered everything that too in time.
Also, the company I got , I am so grateful for it as we felt like a family, didn't felt that we are meeting for first time .
Thank you so much Delhi by Cycle for such a beautiful and memorable experience.
Lots of love and gratitude

"It was my first time riding a bicycle, and it was such a joyful and refreshing experience! Everything was well-organized, and I truly enjoyed every moment. I’m so grateful for the group — they supported and encouraged me all the way. طI’m so happy that my first biking experience was with Rahul, who was always smiling. I hope I didn’t bother the group too much, as I had to stop quite often."
So happy to join u all ..

Great way to discover Delhi and great guides! - We had a 'private' tour with just our family of five. Our guides Ahmer, Disha and Mukesh were super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable, making this a truly great experience. Delhi traffic can be madness, but most of the route goes through low-carb areas. Whenever it got really busy, the guides did a great job in making it feel easy to us. The tour gets you to experience some parts of Delhi you wouldn't otherwise discover that easy as a tourist. Overall a great experience!

Awesome experience - What a fantastic start to the day! Our city tour cycling adventure was a blast! 🌟
We explored hidden gems, enjoyed scenic views, and had an amazing time bonding with fellow cyclists.
Very well managed, organisers took proper care of everyone's security. Very good quality cycles were provided with helmets. Dhriti, Himanshu and the entire team of DBC rocks
Looking forward for more such fun activities.

Cycling tour Old Delhi - Today, I went on a bike tour through Old Delhi together with a friend. Our guide, Ashutosh, did an excellent job. He shared a lot of interesting information about the history, culture, and daily life in this part of the city. It was fascinating to see Old Delhi from a local’s perspective while cycling through the narrow streets and vibrant markets.
As part of the tour, we were also treated to a traditional Indian vegetarian breakfast, which was both authentic and delicious. All in all, it was a fantastic experience — a great way to explore the city in an active and immersive way.
