Amazing Spice and mini Old Delhi tour - Our tour guide Jai Singh was so kind considerate and knowledgeable! He was accommodating with our clients limited mobility and made sure we had a comfortable experience as well as some snacks along the way. We felt it was also a nice mini old Delhi tour too. Spices are such a pivotal part of Indian history and they are like nothing else we have seen- we feel it’s well worth it to go!!

by lanes, temples and lives of locals - The Old Delhi walk covered the bylanes, the ancient temples/mosques/churches, and the local lifestyle of localites hidden deep into the maze of bylanes. Jai is simply impressive and a great friend!

calm guide among the noisy traffic and crowds - I spent 2 days in Delhi on my own, but only after meeting "Jai", I finally found peace amidst the chaotic city. I took the Old Delhi walk and temples run with Jai and spicedup the walk by buying few spices in the spice market area.

last and the best day of Indian trip - My last day of the Indian trip turned out to be the best one with Jai. Experienced a kind of secret that you take pride to keep to yourself. Want to be away from the mainstream journey. Later I shall be ecstatic to share this special experience with my closest near and dear ones!

Old Delhi's Tales of valour, chivalry and spices - Old Delhi is all about fables, tales of valour, chivalry and treachery also, we used to think that Old Delhi is just a little spot. Jai made us aware that we touched a small part only of it even after spending around 3 hours. Jai is laden with a lot of knowledge and skills, Loved the tales about the ancient mansions, Aarti in a Hindu temple, bicycle rickshaw ride and even munched few tastiest of old delhi delicacies
