The Seven Cities Tour Group runs twice a year and gives expats a chance to see and learn more about the city they are living in. The full group consists of 40 to 50 people divided into 10 different sub groups. Each sub group will then research one aspect of Delhi's history and put together a tour which is then given to the full group. The name Seven Cities comes from the historical development of Delhi from a number of different cities spread around the area of the modern city.
The old cities include,
Lal Kot and Qila Rai Pithora 1060
Siri Fort 1304
Tughlaqkbad 1320s
Jahanpanah 1350s
Firozabad 1354
Dinpanah and Purana Qila 1534
Shajahanabad (Old Delhi) Mid 17th C
British New Delhi 1920s
Each group also provides a tour booklet giving more information about the places they include on their tour. The group I was in did the first tour of the session and an extended version of the tour booklet can be downloaded from the next page.
