A fascinating ride through Old Delhi - I highly recommend the Old Delhi cycling tour—it was a true highlight of my stay. Starting early in the morning allowed us to experience this historic part of the city before the crowds arrived and the markets were in full swing. Riding through the narrow streets around Chandni Chowk, passing mosques and temples, offered a fascinating glimpse into everyday life. At the same time, the hardships faced by many vendors and migrant laborers are impossible to ignore.
We were a small group of only three people, which made the experience feel more personal. Our guides, Jessica and Afsari, were outstanding—knowledgeable, caring, and with excellent English. With them, we were able to explore parts of the city that one would not easily venture into alone.
All in all, the tour was very well organized, the bicycles were in good condition, and the guides were superb.

Old Delhi the bike bell way! - A great way to see Old Delhi, although probably not if its your first day experiencing the organised chaos of Indian roads! Our guides Jehu and Fiaz were great and kept us safe. You weave through the maze of narrow streets just as the markets are beginning to open up and before it gets too busy. Bikes well maintained!

Great overview of the Old Town, really recommended! - Our guides Ankush and Mukesh took us to places we would have never explored on our own, and readily answered all our questions. We saw a lot, learned a lot & felt super safe in a very unfamiliar territory. To our surprise, it was possible to explore Delhi cycling, and the streets weren't too busy that early in the morning. The tour also included a chai break and breakfast, which was refreshing. We'd really recommend this for a great overview of the old town!

Truly a lifetime experience. The perfect morning in Delhi! - We had a brilliant time. Truly a lifetime experience. Right through the morning hussel and bussel of Old Delhi, on the bike while the city is waking up and daily Delhi-life is unfolding around you.
You become a part of the beautiful chaos, the people, the colors, the smells and the hectic traffic.
Regular stops at highlights, you would otherwise never find yourself, backed up by history facts and accompanied by architectural beauties.
Add a tea stop and typical breakfast in the mix and you have the perfect morning in Delhi.
Of course the guides made it extra special. Knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic. The perfect hosts, that looked after us every peddle of the way.
Highly recommended.
