The tour is good, but you need to be prepared to watch real scenes of real India. But It’s a nice way to visit Old Delhi in 4 hours

This tour was very interesting and informative. Something to be aware of is that the tour takes you through several wholesale markets, but none of them are places for purchasing souvenirs. Rather, this tour could be seen more like a snapshot of real life as experienced by locals. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of each of the locations he took us. Also, I felt quite safe traveling as a single woman on this tour.

Great tour! Really showed us the working areas of Delhi. We were about 40 minutes late, totally our fault with late arriving airplanes, etc. We called ahead and A second guide met us and sped us to meet the already started Tour. Very much appreciated! The guide had a good working knowledge of history and the tour group was small enough that we could ask questions about actual life in Delhi. Included an e- rickshaw ride through the non-touristy areas of shopping - The hardware street, the wedding Street, the paper Street. I highly recommend this tour

When you stay in a luxury hotel is good to take the subway, or a tuc tuc or to walk to observe the real life

I would thoroughly recommend this tour. You visit several markets including the spice market which was really enjoyable. We really enjoyed going down the secret underground walkways of the old city with all the quirky houses down there a our short stop for some chai from a street vendor. The visit to the Sikh temple was good too especially watching them in the kitchens preparing food for 24k people. Our guide was very well informed and was able to answer all our questions about old Delhi and overall he was very good. I would recommend you do this tour if you have not seen old Delhi.

I had an absolutely fabulous time! Walking around old Dehli was so much fun! I felt safe and the tour guide was easy to find!!

I give one start because of the great Guide
I gave two stars for the cool and unique underground and rooftop walk.
However, This should NOT start at 10 am from the Spice Market which is mostly close till 12. After the walk finish, I needed to walk back to enjoy actually.
Recommend:
1. Stop to look at the Fort is a waste of time better use in the old town markets
2. Start at 12 pm and with the Sikh Template so to get MAX experience from going into the markets when they are open and busy.
3. Add some experience, like testing

Venturing into Old Delhi on your own can be quite intimidating, so going on this tour with a guide to help navigate the streets and to provide invaluable local context was great!

We traveled a total of 33 hours from Colorado to Dehli to spend Christmas with my husband in India as he was working over the vacation. My kids were exhausted and at first not excited to take a tour. We met Shehnaz and INSTANTLY that changed. She was absolutely fantastic and her knowledge of the city and the entire tour was incredible. I honestly wish we could bottle her up and take her with us for the rest of our vacation. The tour itself was amazing, and the kids 8 and 11 were mesmerized. I was so impressed what we saw over such a short amount of time. Thank you, Shehnaz for making day one in Dehli so fantastic. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour!

I signed up for the trip late at night the day before and turned out to be the only person on the trip! Jitu was an excellent guide who spoke good English, did the proper introductions, and provided good information on the places that we visited. He also had ready answers to my various questions about Delhi and India. The trip started at Rajiv Chowd metro station and we took a subway to old Delhi, which turned out to be the only metro ride I had taken during my stay in Delhi. At old Delhi, we took a rickshaw which again turned out to be the only chance that I had during my stay to ride in such a mode of transportation. The ride was bumpy, which was to be expected, but also provided a good window to savoring the sights and sounds of the old city. The rest of the visit was conducted by foot, and as Jitu rightly pointed out, one has to possess strong legs and nimble reflexes in order to cross the streets in the old city, due to the hoards of humanity and the massive chaotic traffic! Cling on tightly to your bags and personal belongings! The spice market was colorful and fascinating, and great for pictures if you are into photography. The Sikh temple was sombre yet interesting, and made me want to read up more about the history of Sikhism. The trip ended with a metro ride back to Rajiv Chowd metro station. Overall a highly recommended trip if you have a few hours to spare in Delhi!

Such a friendly and uplifting guide! The tour included all the promised features and much more! A safe way to explore the Bazaar in depth and enjoy safe street food. :-

We had a wonderful time exploring Old Delhi with our guide, Prideep. He took the time to make sure we were engaged and answered all our (sometimes) random questions. Walking through the various streets and alleyways was impressive but easily managed to cover the various markets within Chandi Chowk. This was my first time to use the Delhi metro system and it was easy!

Excellent tour - great experience especially the visit to the Sikh temple. Pradeep our tour guide was excellent first class.
