Amazing Tour and Guide - 1. This tour went above my expectations. It was my first time in India and therefore New Delhi. So naturally was very excited to see everything. Umesh, my guide was like like a friend who was showing around their hometown. He’s very warm and welcoming. Easy to talk to. He speaks fluent English so communication was easy since I don’t speak Hindi. Accompanying was his colleague Sunil who was also a great help. We went to Chandni Chowk where we did some shopping and helped me get the best deals on Indian wear for my family. He’s excellent at haggling and shared how to haggle. The spice market is heaven. The scents are amazing. He also took us to a famous Hanuman Mandir, Sikh Mandir, and Jain bird hospital. Also, we ate a paratha stand that was delicious. Umesh took us through ally ways of the spice market to the roof top of a building which gave us a spectacular view of the city. Because of the shopping we ran over the tour time but Umesh didn’t care he wanted us to have a the full experience. I might some great people on the tour as well: David and Estrella. All in all it was a great day. I definitely recommend this tour. The service is top notch and you get your money’s worth and more. 2. I also booked to day trip to Jaipur with Umesh. I was picked up at 4am for the drive to Jaipur. Vinod was excellent I was safely shuttled to abs from Jaipur in a clean air-conditioned car. I even napped both ways. The tour was excellently well. I had an attentive guide who was very knowledgeable and answered my many questions. The city is beautiful. So before booking reach out to Umesh and see what tours he offers. Service is excellent and you get your money’s worth. 🙏🏽 Umesh -Vijay Jainanan
