Great experience of a guided tour - Was a wonderful experience seeing and hearing the history of Old Dehli. Particularly the Red Fort.
Deepanshu was a delight to be around, a fountain of knowledge and made the experience seemless.

Excellent trip - Such a good trip. Our guide, Neha, was brilliant. She was very knowledgable both of the history and the area. She brought the trip to life for us. We particularly enjoyed the trip to the spice market. So chaotic and colourful. Highly recommended.

Great experience! - Excellent tour! Our favorite sites were the Red Fort and the Sikh Temple. Seeing the Red Fort is really nice because you get to see the parallels between it and the Taj Mahal.

Great tour with Akansha - I enjoyed a solo tour with lovely Akansha. She's very passionate about her city and her country, and is very flexible to meet your needs during the tour (e.g. if you want to spend more time at one location or skip a location). For me it was the perfect combination of visiting landmarks and just walking in the streets of Old Delhi, getting a glimpse at the life of its inhabitants and merchants. The duration of the tour was perfect, lasted from 9:00 AM to 13:00 PM with a lunch break. By the end of the tour I was satisfied I have seen plenty of things without being completely worn out. Akansha made it completely hassle free, she took care of booking tickets in advance, buying metro tickets on the spot, etc. I particularly enjoyed the visit to the Sikh Temple, I would have never done it without her / alone :) All in all, great tour, would definitely recommend it.

Disappointing Delhi tour - Our tour was with Pushpendra; we covered all of the sites indicated in the tour (Red Fort, Jama Masjid, Spice Market, Rickshaw ride). We were never contacted prior to the tour until I texted the tour group on WhatsApp about 20m before it was supposed to begin (whereupon the tour group sent me the guide's number and it turned out he was already en route). Generally our guide was difficult to understand (partly due to his thick accent, but he also seemed not to understand several of our questions, or seemed annoyed that we were asking, or else he just answered a different question). On more than one occasion he seemed not to know an answer to a question (which is fine; nobody expects a guide to know everything) but instead made up an answer we knew to be incorrect (which is not appropriate). He typically walked several feet ahead of us when he wasn't attempting to explain something and generally seemed disinterested and bored. He was also a bit pushy about tips for people we interacted with on the tour as well as for himself. Perhaps he was having a bad day, but I'm reviewing the tour we got, not the one we might have given benefit of the doubt. In the future or if I were making a recommendation to a friend I'd go with a different tour group.
Our driver was Santosh, who was on time and drove safely and efficiently; no complaints about him.
