For just $11 per person, this evening tour offers a chance to see the city’s most famous sights while feeling like a local rather than a tourist. Starting from your hotel, you’ll explore Albert Hall Museum, relish sights of the Hawa Mahal lit up against the night sky, and perhaps even catch glimpses of a wedding procession—full of music, dance, and gorgeous sarees.

Two things we really love about this experience are the personalized flexibility and the chance to venture off the beaten path.

Plus, the inclusion of a local ice-cream parlour injects a sweet and refreshing end to the evening. The only consideration?
