“Cannot recommend this tour enough!! If you are wanting some fab photos of your trip, a fun time and to learn a little more about the Shinjuku area then this tour is the one for you! Gota knew all the best spots, showed you how to pose and provided information on the area, interesting facts we would not have known otherwise. He walked very fast but we were able to keep up.

Marco knew all the spots to get the most interesting photos and provided the coaching to capture magnificent photos. He also offered thoughtful dialogue and historical context. Please note this is primarily a walking tour so you also can take in the sights, sounds, and aromas from local shops and outdoor venues. Highly recommend!”

7.New Delhi: Guided Night Photography & Heritage Tour of Delhi

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5 reviews · 3 hours · from $38Best value

Join a six-person night tour with guides such as Shahzeb or Faizy, visiting illuminated tombs, shrines, Safdarjung’s Tomb, Sabz Burj, and Gurudwara Bangla Sahib. You’ll walk, ride tuk-tuks, eat seekh kebabs with rumali roti, and learn how Delhi’s past still shapes its streets.

“I really enjoyed the night tour with Faizy a lot. He was very knowledgeable about the culture and history of Delhi and is just about the only one who offers a tour during the night in Delhi. I felt very safe on the tour and he also made sure that I got an Uber back to my hostel. It was very interesting to see sights of Delhi that are often overlooked and more so during the night. The food at the restaurant in the end was also very enjoyable but at a very posh place, but I also did a tour with him where he presented more authentic streetfood.”
