Exciting tour! - Great tour through New and Old Delhi. My tour guide and driver were super friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. The Old Delhi part was a cool experience as we walked and took an auto through the narrow winding streets. The main markets were closed on Sunday (if you want to see the spice markets definitely take the tour any day but Sunday), but the streets were still busy with informal and colorful markets. In New Delhi we saw many of the large attractions and were able to skip the big lines as foreigners. The tour was super flexible and tailored for my interests.

Wonderful Tour of Old & New Delhi - This day long tour of Old and New Delhi on 17 Mar 24, was excellent and struck just the right balance between sharing detailed historical knowledge and explaining life in present day India. We see our guide Nick as a friend and hopefully he will keep his promise to come visit us in Newcastle Upon Tyne sometime. We highly recommend this tour guide service. David & Jane Miller.

Excellent tour to spend a day in Delhi, engaging and service minded guide and driver - We had a wonderful day with our guide Manu and driver Raj touring both the Old and New Delhi. Everything worked well with the logistics, from the pick up at the hotel, and morning rickshaw ride through the old city, and it continued throughout the rest if the day. They made accommodations on our request, and tailored the tour cor us on the fly. In particular, we really appreciated that they respected our request not to visit any stores or factory outlets, since we made it clear from the beginning that we are not looking to buying anything, and want to spend the precious time we have on more genuine experiences. Manu is a good and engaging guide, and excellent photographer too, so we leave with a lot of great memories, both in our hearts and on our phone. Thanks, Jojen & Peter
