Experience Old Delhi, intense and full of History.
The Shah Jahan Tour is DelhiByCycle’s classic recipe for an exhilarating glimpse into the life and times of the great Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan and the 1500 acre expanse of his capital - Shahjahanabad. At the time of its construction in the 17th Century, it was arguably, the most prosperous and beautiful city in the world.
Today, when you pass through its four hundred year old web of alleys held together with great big meshes of electric cables and infused with the smell of brewing tea and simmering breakfast curry, you see a mind boggling co-existence of the past and the future, competing for your attention.

This was our favourite activity in Delhi. Himanshu was the perfect tour guide and a great storyteller. He provided comprehensive historical commentary as well as interesting chats along the way, and later on he sent us heaps of tips and links for places to eat, shop and visit based on our interests. We enjoyed our snacks and chai breaks, and the behind the scenes experience of Old Delhi as well as points of interest along the way. Do yourself a favour and book a tour with these guys!

I really enjoyed cycling around Old Delhi in the early morning. It was great to go through the lanes and alleys as the city was starting to emerge. I enjoyed the Old Delhi tour so much that I went back when I passed through Delhi again a few days later for the river tour. We could cover so much more ground than walking, so much to see! The guides were great on both tours, pointing things out and explaining, and keeping the group safe where we crossed main roads. Really worth the early srart. Just wish I had had enough data on my phone to record the routes we took.

Incredible experience, the tour is like nothing I had seen before. You really get a view into the daily lives of the regular people here, from all layers of society. The guide enthusiastically shows you the many cultural influences in the city and is very knowledgeable. You will come away with an incredible experience and a new sense of appreciation. I've said enough, go do it!

Utkarsh led an amazing tour for us in Delhi. We were able to completely trust his guidance and he made the experience so much more authentic and unforgettable. He was so helpful in protecting us from scams and overpriced goods and we couldn’t imagine a better guide than him, we wish he could be our guide for our whole India trip! We highly recommend this tour and Utkarsh.

Riding bicycles through Delhi, India offers a unique and immersive experience into the vibrant tapestry of this bustling city. Navigating the chaotic streets provides an up-close encounter with its rich cultural diversity and historical landmarks. However, be prepared for the frenetic traffic, uneven roads, and air pollution, which can pose challenges. Despite the hurdles, the exploration of Delhi by bicycle unveils hidden gems and the authentic heartbeat of this metropolis. It's an adventure that blends the ancient charm of historical sites with the dynamic energy of modern urban life.

Me and my friends went for Bicycle tour to Lodhi Art District and it was a great experience. Despite of being a Delhiite, I have never had such a unique idea to explore my city. The tour guides Ahmer and Mukesh were very helpful and took great care of us. I would highly recommend the tours of DBC to explore Delhi city.

This was a really interesting tour through the alleys and backstreets of Old Delhi. Ahmer was an excellent guide who explained the history and the social, religious and political background to the sights we saw. Fez helped us with our bikes and stopped traffic to keep us safe. This is the best thing I've done in Delhi.
