Lewis and Clark Tours — India's Most Trusted Private DMC for American Travelers
India is not a destination you visit once and feel you have understood. It is a civilization — layered, vast, and endlessly rewarding for the traveler who approaches it with the right guide.
Lewis and Clark Tours is a New Delhi-based India Destination Management Company founded in 2017 with a single purpose: to be the best India tour operator for Americans, Canadians, British, and Australian travelers who want this country experienced properly. Not on a group coach. Not on a fixed-departure package picked off a shelf. On a fully private, bespoke journey designed around your interests, your pace, and your idea of what India should feel like.
Since 2017, we have been crafting luxury India itineraries for discerning international travelers — from first-time visitors standing before the Taj Mahal at sunrise to seasoned Asia travelers finally ready to go deeper into the subcontinent’s medieval kingdoms, tiger reserves, backwater canals, and ancient holy cities.
Every Lewis and Clark Tours journey includes: — A private air-conditioned vehicle with professional chauffeur, exclusively yours — Handpicked Oberoi and Taj palace hotels — heritage properties with service traditions established for maharajas — An expert English-speaking cultural escort who brings India’s history alive — Itineraries designed from scratch, beginning with a conversation about what you want
This is India done right. And this is what makes Lewis and Clark Tours the most recommended private India tour operator for Americans planning their first — or fifth — visit to this extraordinary country.

EXCELLENT Based on 49 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor AnnabcrtVerified Sehr gute und vielseitige Tour Die Tour war zwar sehr anstrengend weil man natürlich in kurzer Zeit möglichst viel sehen möchte, aber sehr schön! Alle highlights der drei Städte verbunden mit einem privaten Fahrer damit man genug Flexibilität hat und privaten guides auf deutsch/englisch. Kann ich jeden nur sehr empfehlen:)Posted on Tripadvisor AnnabcrtVerified Sehr außergewöhnlicher Tempel Unglaublich atemberaubender Tempel! Man darf aktuell keine Fotos machen und auch keine elektronischen Gegenstände (Handy, Kamera, Smartwatch etc.) mit rein nehmen. Dafür nimmt man die ganzen details des Tempels aber viel bewusster war und das ist echt sehr beeindruckend und einzigartig.Posted on Tripadvisor AnnabcrtVerified unvergesslicher Tag Das frühe aufstehen hat sich auf jeden Fall sehr gelohnt. Als wir heute Morgen vor dem Taj Mahal standen, waren wir echt sehr beeindruckt weil dieses Gebäude einfach so unglaublich schön und beeindruckend ist auf seine ganz eigene Art. Gerade in der Sonnenaufgang Stimmung kommt es noch mal mehr zu Geltung. Vor allem auch der Aspekt dass es aus Liebe gebaut wurde ist unglaublich schön. Natürlich wird es relativ schnell sehr voll und viele Touristen sind dann dort. Die ganzen Details in dem Gebäude sind aber einfach einzigartig anzusehen und unser Guide war wirklich unglaublich gut und hat uns sehr viel über die Geschichte des Taj Mahal erzählt und war vor allem sehr geduldig mit uns, wenn wir viele Fotos machen wollten 🙂 Danke an Zameer unseren Guide, das war ein so schöner Tag und danke an Khan unseren guten Fahrer. Wir konnten uns auch so viel Zeit lassen, wie wir wollten beim Taj Mahal das war sehr angenehm für uns, da wir keinen Stress hatten. Dann sind wir weiter zum Agra Fort und auch hier konnten wir uns so viel Zeit lassen, wie wir wollten und ganz in Ruhe alles erkunden. Wir waren immer wieder sehr fasziniert von den ganzen kleinen Details, Malereien und Steinen etc. zum Abschluss waren wir noch beim Baby Taj Mahal, also dem Itmad-ud-Daula genannt und es war wirklich einfach die kleine Version des Taj Mahal, ohne viele Menschen, ganz ruhig mit ganz viel Liebe zum Detail. Zusammen zusammenfassend also eine sehr eindrucksvolle und empfehlenswerte Tour.Posted on Tripadvisor AnnabcrtVerified Die beste Tour für New Delhi Ich habe die Tour mit Teerthraj als Guide gemacht und es war sehr gut. Wir haben beim Qutub Minar gestartet, was sehr beeindruckend war. Die ganzen Details, die per Hand Arbeit in die Steine dort gearbeitet wurden, sind sehr besonders und einzigartig und haben mir sehr gut gefallen. Generell war auch die Umgebung um das Qutub Minar sehr schön, viel grünes und beeindruckende Gebäude. Auf dem Weg zum Lotus Tempel haben wir dann noch etwas Streetfood gegessen auch das war wirklich sehr lecker. Der Lotus Tempel ist auf jeden Fall sehr besonders vor allem von innen, da dort keine Gottesbilder sind und die Akustik einfach sehr berührend und besonders war, als wir dort drinnen waren. New Dilly hat einfach so viel zu bieten, dass ich das Gefühl hatte, es wurde einfach immer besser! Der Humayun's Tomb war ebenfalls einfach unglaublich beeindruckend, vor allem auch die Tempel und Bauwerke drum herum. Die ganze Anlage war wie ein Kunstwerk und sehr interessant zu sehen. Nach einem kurzen und entspannten Abstecher im Lodhi Garden, welcher sehr grün und entspannt war und auch sehr sauber sind wir weiter zum India Gate gefahren. An der Stelle ist es auch super angenehm einen privaten Fahrer zu haben, wir hatten Khan als sehr guten Fahrer an dem Tag und es ist einfach schön flexibel zu sein. Abschließend waren wir im Sikh Temple und auch das war wirklich noch mal ein Highlight. Man darf hier zwar keine Fotos machen, aber dort gibt es auch die größte Community Küche und es war sehr beeindruckend, dort ein Einblick in die Arbeit und hinter die Kulissen zu bekommen. Insgesamt also eine sehr empfehlenswerte Tour!Posted on Tripadvisor Jamie MVerified Agra at Its Best The tour took us to the stunning Taj Mahal, the historic Agra Fort and the beautiful Baby Taj (Itmad-ud-Daula). Zameer guided us through these incredible sites and truly brought them to life with his deep knowledge and great sense of humor. He always knew the best spots for perfect photos and was endlessly patient whenever we wanted extra time to explore. My friends and I are very interested in photography and we absolutely loved the architecture. We had an amazing time strolling through Agra and its history, capturing unforgettable moments with our cameras.Posted on Tripadvisor AnnabcrtVerified Sehr eindrucksvolle und schöne Tour Old Delhi zu erkunden ist definitiv sehr spannend gewesen und eine komplett neue Erfahrung! Teerthraj war ein guter Führer und hat viel zu den einzelnen Sehenswürdigkeiten erzählt. Die Jama Masjid war sehr beeindruckend und die liebe zum detail dort ist echt einzigartig. Old Delhi nochmal ganz hautnah zu erleben während wir mit der Rikscha Richtung Chandni Chowk gefahren sind war ein unbeschreibliches Erlebnis. Ja es ist laut und auch teilweise viel und einfach eine komplett andere Welt, aber die Altstadt ist sehr lebendig und einfach ein Erlebnis wert. Super interessant war es auch zu sehen, wie die ganzen Gewürze verpackt werden, wo sie gelagert werden und einfach die Vielfalt zu sehen und vor allem auch zu riechen. Es war besonders gut auch einen privaten Fahrer zu haben um fexibel zu sein und Khan hat da wirklich einen super Job gemacht und ist ein sehr guter Fahrer. Akshardham Temple war definitiv mein Highlight, man darf zwar leider keine Fotos mehr machen, aber ich würde es als eins der schönsten Tempel beschreiben, den ich in meinem Leben je gesehen hab. Die Liebe zum Detail dort war überragend und sehr eindrucksvoll, ein richtiges Kunstwerk!Posted on Tripadvisor Jamie MVerified Amazing Tour, Incredible Views, Wonderful Guide The tour was absolutely amazing. The Taj Mahal is a stunning building, full of grace and beauty. There were quite a few people, but our guide Zameer was wonderful. He took us to the best photo spots, helped us navigate through the crowds while still getting perfect shots, and shared so much interesting history along the way. My friends and I had a great time and can highly recommend this tour and especially Zameer as a guide.Posted on Tripadvisor Janet LVerified Guide very knowledgeable and had very good english. Guide and driver were great. On time and took me to what i was interested in. We also took in some sights that i had only driven past amd not been able to photograph.Posted on Tripadvisor David KVerified Great value walking and food tour Excellent tour!! Great value for money!! The guide was very knowledgeable and we left with a full stomach. Visited a temple, food stalls, spice market etc.Posted on Tripadvisor Nat JVerified Delicious food and great insights! We had a fantastic time on this food tour in Delhi! Our guide was knowledgeable and gave us some really interesting historical context about the area, which added so much to the experience. The food was absolutely delicious—so many different flavours and dishes to try. A great way to explore the city through its food. Highly recommend!
