The Shah Jahan Excursion, provided by DelhiByCycle, offers a thrilling peek into the era of the influential Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan, and the vast 1500 acre landscape of his kingdom - Shahjahanabad. 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.

Best way to explore Old Delhi - An incredible experience, a must-do for anyone looking to explore Delhi, especially Old Delhi. This was my fifth city tour with DBC! best! Huge thanks to our captains, Naman and Ujjwal, and the amazing team—Faiz, Usman, and Baizal—for their exceptional support, engaging tour, and the laughs and knowledge they shared along the way.

Great! - Naman, Osman and Afzari* were amazing.
I loved seeing Purana Dili especially with someone to guide. Only regret was not quickly grabbing something to eat on the tour. The cycling itself is very manageable, not too much exertion.
Explored lanes that I would not have entered otherwise.

Extreme outrages experience. - A huge experience. Old Delhi by cycling is really very special. You can see the city waking up after the thunderstorm last night a bit muddy. But in my opinion fantastic.

Dipping a toe in... - I was nervous about navigating the streets of Delhi on a bicycle as this was our first time visiting, but the crew made us feel safe and it was fun to be in the thick of it. Stopping for great views and tea along the way was fantastic, and breakfast at the end with a whole group was entertaining. Would definitely recommend.

Good - While the overall activity was enjoyable, there were some challenges that affected our start. Cycling on Delhi’s quieter winter roads was refreshing, and the group we joined made it even better with their enthusiasm and energy. It was clear that a lot of thought had gone into planning the route and this tour as a whole, which we truly appreciated. However, parking was a major issue. Despite being assured that ample parking was available nearby, we spent 25 minutes searching and eventually had to park at Sunder Nursery, paying Rs. 400 unnecessarily. This delay caused us to miss the initial briefing, including some paintings and riding instructions. Although we communicated with the tour guide during this time, no concrete help was offered, and the group had already left by the time we reached the meeting spot. It would have been helpful to receive clear instructions or a disclaimer about the parking situation in advance, especially for participants arriving by car. This would have saved us a lot of time and frustration. That said, once the initial hiccups were over, the cycling tour itself was very enjoyable, and we loved the route and group dynamics. With better planning and clearer communication regarding logistics, this experience could be even better.
