I was little scared but ended loving it - I am from Colombia and I travel alone, so before going to Old Delhi I was little nervous, not gonna lie. But this experience in Delhi was something I will always remember.
Walking in Chandni Chowk is very intense, too many people, noise, everything together… at first I feel a bit lost but then I start to enjoy it slowly.
We also go to Jama Masjid and for me this was my favourite moment, very calm and beautiful, I just sit there some minutes and take everything.
As a solo girl I always think about safety, but I feel comfortable and respected the whole time, which is very important for me.
It’s not a perfect or fancy tour, but it feels real, and that’s why I like it. I finish the day tired but happy.

Bit hectic but really worth it - Did an Old Delhi walking tour with Dave and yeah, wasn’t really sure what to expect going in but ended up really enjoying it.
Around Chandni Chowk it’s honestly chaos… like proper busy, noise everywhere, people coming from all sides. At first it felt a bit much but once you settle into it, it’s actually pretty cool to experience.
Dave made it easy though. He’s very knolegeable but doesn’t overdo it, just chats as you walk and points things out. Felt more like being shown around by a local mate than being on a tour.
We stopped at Jama Masjid as well which was a nice change of pace, way calmer and really nice spot to just take a breather.
Def wouldn’t have done this area on my own, so having Dave there made a big difference. Bit tired after but yeah, glad we did it.

An awesome day spent in Delhi - We had an amazing experience throughout our entire time spent in Delhi with Dave (and of course, my wife!). He is super nice and easy to get along with and made it easy to feel comfortable right away.
The day was a little bit hectic at times but Dave was able to manage everything extremely well. He made sure everything was kept relatively simple for us and checked in with us frequently to ensure that we were okay throughout the day. He is also a very good storyteller, and we were able to learn about Humayun and the Mughal history through him in a way that was clear to understand and very enjoyable.
Additionally, our driver, Ram, was very calm, and polite and made the entire experience feel safe and easy.
I would say that this was unlike any of the tours we have done before. More like spending the day with someone who knows the city well and can guide you appropriately. I am glad we made this reservation.

Made the Most of Our Delhi Layover – Thanks to Dev! - We had a long layover in Delhi and honestly didn’t expect to see much, but Dev completely changed that for us. From the moment we landed, everything was perfectly organised — smooth pickup from the airport, no waiting around, and a really well-planned itinerary that made the most of our limited time.
Dev is an incredibly knowledgeable guide with excellent English, which made it easy and enjoyable to understand the history and culture of each place we visited. What really stood out was how well-connected he is in Delhi — it felt like he knew exactly how to navigate everything efficiently, helping us skip delays and making sure we got priority access wherever possible.
In just a few hours, we managed to see so many iconic spots, including Old Delhi, which was an absolute highlight. The tuk-tuk (rickshaw) ride through the bustling streets was such a fun and authentic experience — definitely something we’ll never forget.
Everything was seamless, stress-free, and genuinely enjoyable. If you’ve got a layover in Delhi, I’d highly recommend booking with Dev — he’ll make sure you experience the best of the city, even with limited time.

One of the best day we had in Delhi! - We booked a full day tour around Delhi with Dave and our driver Anil, and to be honest it ended up being one of those days that just worked really well from start to finish.
The morning in Old Delhi was a bit of a shock at first (in a good way though). Walking through Chandni Chowk is pretty full on—so much going on everywhere—but the rickshaw ride made it way more fun and easier to take it all in. Definitely something we wouldn’t have figured out on our own.
Dave was great throughout the day. He’s very knolegeable but doesn’t go on and on, just explains things as they come up and answers whatever you ask. Felt more like being shown around by someone local rather than a formal guide, which we really liked.
We also stopped at India Gate which is nice for a quick visit, and then Qutub Minar which was actually a highlight—way more impressive in person than expected.
Big mention to Anil as well. Driving in Delhi looks chaotic but he handled it calmly the whole time, always on time picking us up, and the car was clean and comfortable which made a big difference over a full day.
It didn’t feel rushed or overly planned, just a really well-balanced day with a mix of busy and quieter spots. We finished pretty tired but in a good way. If you’re in Delhi and want to see a lot without the stress, this is honestly a solid choice.

Glad we did this - Booked a full day in Delhi with Dev and driver Yasir and it worked out really well.
India Gate was a nice start, but Hummayun’s Tomb stood out for me—really calm compared to the rest of the city and just beautiful in a simple way.
Dev has a very relaxed way of guiding, more like a conversation than a tour. Yasir was always on time and drove super smoothly, which matters a lot here.
It just felt easy the whole day, which is exactly what you want in a place like Delhi.

Really Good Full Day Tour with Great Team - Did a full day Delhi tour with Dev and our driver Sanjay, and honestly it was a great experience. Both of them were super easygoing and made the whole day feel really comfortable.
Dev knows his stuff but explains it in a relaxed, down-to-earth way, so it never felt like a boring history lesson. We covered a lot in one day but it didn’t feel rushed at all.
Sanjay was a great driver—calm, safe, and always there on time, which makes a big difference in Delhi traffic. The car was clean and it was nice to have that break between stops.
Overall, just a really smooth day with good people. Felt well looked after the whole time.
Would definitely recommend 👍

Simple, Smooth and Worth It 👍 - The tour was around 5 hours with several stops to really experience Old Delhi. Dev was knowledgeable and explained things in a simple, interesting way, which made it easy to enjoy.
Everything felt smooth and comfortable throughout the tour. It didn’t feel rushed, and there was enough time to take in the atmosphere at each place.
Just a small note—there are a few extra costs like the mosque entry (for you and the guide), metro tickets, and the rickshaw ride, so it’s better to carry some cash.
Overall, a very nice and easy experience.

Worth it for a different side of Delhi - I booked a walking tour with Dev while in Delhi, and I’m really glad I did. It felt very relaxed from the start, not like those formal tours.
Dev is easygoing and explains things in a simple way, not too much, not too little. We walked through small streets and busy markets, places I would not go alone.
What I liked most is that it felt real. Not only monuments, but everyday life also. We stopped for chai, talked a bit, no rush.
Good pace, good energy. I felt comfortable the whole time.
If you want to see Delhi in a more local way, this is a good choice.
